You have to make sure it is not a modern hollow door firdt
There was a Dutch door in this house when we bought. The previous owners had made it from a regular door. Looked just like the one in the photo above. And it worked great, especially if you have little ones or pets.
You would cut it in half then you would put wood in the bottom of each piece you cut to reinforce the door then on the bottom door put a small ledge and a slide lock
