I have a Franklin Concorde wood burning stove. It has double doors on the front with glass inserts. I am needing information on replacing the gaskets around the doors. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome rogdum. Gasket replacement is pretty straight forward as long as you have the right gasket material to start with.
You'll need to help us see what you are a up against by describing the door to stove body seal. This is a very early cat stove correct? Is the current gasket in good enough shape to still measure? Is the gasket in a channel, is there a flat surface on the stove body where the gasket compresses? Can you see if it was originally a round gasket or a flat gasket? Pictures always help if you can post them.
To repair you'll need to scrape out the old gasket with a flat blade, clean the surface well. Then bed some adhesive in the channel, push the gasket in, then let it set up.
Here's a guide to get you started:

PS: If you have some good stove shops in the area, you may be able to bring in the doors and have them replace the gaskets for you.
PPS: Is this the stove?
