Settled on a custom order vinyl screen door with large pet entry from Office
Depot. All hardware is extra.
Just word of caution. The advertising glib about using tools that you would
use on wood are true on this door. I trimmed a 1/4" off one side for proper
fit in opening with a circular saw. That worked fine. I decided I wanted
the edge I just cut to be rounded over just like the other outer edges of
the door. Using a hand held router and 1/4" round over bit, I attempted to
recreate that on the freshly cut side. The straight part of the router bit
(guide) tends to bury itself in the vinyl. Did manage to complete the round
over after learning that hard lesson. Just had to do it tenderly.
Now, if I can only get the dogs to enter/exit through the pet entry...

Put a cat on the other side.....I am sure the dogs will learn how to get
through the opening very quick.....
