OP, IMHO, I think there are some flaws in what you may be trying to do. First, screen door locks are easily broken allowing the door to be opened, unless you are also installing a significantly upgraded lock. Be sure that if you are doing this you have a way to rapidly open this in an emergency, like a fire. As for the security screen, unless you also installing an alternative mounting, screen are easily removeable for inside or outside. Same concern here about an emergency, at least one window in each bedroom is designated as an emergency exit, if you install a non removeable security screen you have created a safety risk.
Just my thoughts, good luck with your search.
