I need a doggie door

I'm looking for a doggie door to use on my patio. The problem is, all the ones I've seen are for doors ~1.5" thick.
I need something that I can put in the aluminum kick plate of my screened porch. It's only about 1/16" thick.
I was thinking some kind of rubber gasket with a flap to fit in the hole I would have to cut in it, but I can't seem to find anything. Can anybody help?

Haven't looked, but I bet they have something.

Thanks for the link. They have something similar to what I'm looking for, but not quite. And $100+ is kind of crazy I think.

Yeah, kinda high, but maybe you can get some ideas.

Just get a hacksaw and cut a hole. Add foam sealant around the edges for protection and fabricate your own hinges. Took my dog a week and some fresh steak for her to learn how to use it. Now she wont go out anything but it, even if you hold the human door open
