The door has an enlarged opening defining generally vertical spaced apart side edges. At least one screen is mounted to the door, and extends across at least a substantial portion of the opening in the door, the screen having an outside surface. A generally horizontal cross member extends across the enlarged opening, and has opposite ends positioned adjacent the vertical side edges. The cross member is adjustably secured to the door such that the vertical position of the cross member can be adjusted to vary the size of an upper portion of the enlarged opening above the cross member, and a lower portion of the enlarged opening below the cross member.
