1. A door with an openable insert mounted therein, the door comprising in combination: a substantially planar door element including an inside surface opposite an outside surface, said inside surface spaced from said outside surface by a door thickness, said door including at least one hinge on a first vertical edge thereof adapted to pivotably mount said door to an adjacent support;said door including a hole extending from said inside surface to said outside surface, said hole partially defined by a pair of substantially vertical sides located parallel and opposite each other;said insert located within said hole, said insert including a frame assembly, a mounting plate and an inner door;said frame assembly sized to fit adjacent said hole and overlap at least portions of said vertical sides of said hole adjacent said outer surface of said door;said mounting plate sized to fit adjacent said hole and overlap at least portions of said vertical sides of said hole adjacent said inside surface of said door;said mounting plate removably attachable to said frame assembly through a plurality of elongate fasteners passing through holes in said mounting plate and into holes in said frame assembly;at least portions of said door sandwiched between said mounting plate and said frame assembly with said fasteners applying a force to clamp said mounting plate and said frame assembly to said door therebetween;said inner door pivotably mounted to said mounting plate;wherein said fasteners and said holes in said mounting plate for passage of said elongate fasteners are covered by portions of said inner door when said inner door is pivoted to a closed position, said elongate fasteners extending substantially perpendicular to a major planar face of each of said door and said frame assembly. 2. The door of claim 1 wherein said frame assembly includes at least portions thereof located within said hole in said door and adjacent said vertical sides of said hole. 3. The door of claim 2 wherein said frame assembly includes a body portion and a trim portion, said body portion sized to fit within said hole in said door and adjacent said vertical sides of said hole in said door, said trim portion sized to be located adjacent said outer surface of said door and partially inboard of said vertical sides of said hole and partially outboard of said vertical sides of said hole. 4. The door of claim 3 wherein a lattice structure is included with said body, said lattice structure spanning said hole in said door, said lattice structure formed of substantially rigid elongate elements. 5. The door of claim 4 wherein said lattice includes wrought iron elongate decorative elements inboard of a perimeter border, said perimeter border coupled to portions of said body adjacent said vertical sides of said hole. 6. The door of claim 3 wherein a screen is located inboard of portions of said body adjacent said vertical sides of said hole, said screen removably attachable adjacent said body. 7. The door of claim 3 wherein said mounting plate abuts at least a portion of said body. 8. The door of claim 3 wherein said trim portion includes an interior bore aligned with said holes in said mounting plate, said interior bore configured to be secured to said fastener. 9. The door of claim 1 wherein a lattice structure is included with said body, said lattice structure spanning said hole in said door, said lattice structure formed of substantially rigid elongate elements. 10. The door of claim 9 wherein a screen is provided on an inner side of said lattice and inboard of portions of said frame assembly inboard of said vertical sides of said hole. 11. The door of claim 10 wherein said inner door includes a frame surrounding a glass panel, said inner door located on a side of said screen opposite said lattice, said frame of said inner door including a first portion of a barrel hinge with said mounting plate including a second portion of a barrel hinge complemental with said first portion of said barrel hinge to pivotably attach said inner door to said mounting plate. 12. The door of claim 1 wherein said inner door includes at least one hinge pivotably joining said inner door to said mounting plate. 13.
