Metal Inserts for TV Console Doors

[tbm5690]

I have a TV console with glass inserts on the main cabinet doors that house my A/V receiver. I'm forced to keep them open to allow for adequate cooling for the receiver, but I'd like to replace the glass with metal inserts similar to what is pictured here so that I can keep the doors shut and still allow IR remotes to function and adequate cooling. What should I search for? It's not chicken wire, it's not hardware cloth...looking for the proper terminology to feed Google lol. TIA.

Maybe some metal screening from Home Depot?

expanded metal mesh. Perhaps a local metals supermarket will be able to supply?

looks factory......way back in the day, cabinets had expanded metal fronts for airflow for the books. Go to the Biltmore or any old plantation house and you will see built ins with this style fronts. Funny how things come full circle.
