Doors inside doors

[Pickygame]

I am considering putting a small locker door inside my main garage door. When my awning is up I cannot open the main garage door. Having a smaller door within the main door would make the garage accessible. Has anyone ever done this? I am more concerned with the weight of the door on the current door material. I have seen this done once so the garage becomes a pet kennel.

have seen windows in garage doors, so dont see why not,

Any xtra weight would only be the plastic frame as your new door panel will be made of the bit you cut out
negligible increases

Will a Thetford toilet door frame work size wise, they are easy to cut out and fit?

Many industrial doors have a pedestrian door built within the main door, same principle. Might be slightly easier door to jemmy open. Perhaps the Thetford gas locker [ size 4 ?] door, but on the other side of the van?

Could you maybe "re-hinge" the existing door to open the other way or will it still foul the awning?

I was thinking of something like the gas locker door or similar. I need to consider the strength needed on the existing door for a frame or door
