Hello,
This is definitely not woodworking-related, but you guys are the most
helpful newsgroup I follow:
Does anybody know where I can find a "screened louvered vent"? It is a
small plug-like item that can be fit into a hole drilled into some flat
surface and provides a mesh-protected ventilation hole:

The local Home Depot doesn't stock such an item.
I am located in the Toronto, ON area.
Thanks!

FWIW Home Depot's catalog lists Circular Louvers in 1, 2, 3, 4 inch
sizes made by Leslie Locke their part number RLSC1, 2, 3, 4 with Home
Depot SKU 873510, 388719, 139513, or 388736 respectively.

Yep.
Probably the last place I'd check for "anything", would be Home
Depot. Here would be maybe next to last. LMAO
I've seen thingies like that in the local hardware store. Be a
long trip, but if you want to travel, I'll give you directions.
If I was wanting something like that, I'd either start at the local
hardware store on a trip to town, or get on the phone and start calling
- real stores, not Home Depot.

Ok, JOAT obviously pointed out I asked a vague question, so lemme try again:
Does anybody know anything that would help me locate/purchase the item
called a "screened louvered vent" in the webdocuments referenced below?
It is not a ventilation cap with flaps that is usually installed at
the exterior exhaust end of a stove/washroom/dryer vent; (I think) the
thing is more of a small 1 to 2 inch plastic mesh plug or a plastic
circular frame fitted with mesh.
- does the item go by a more common or proper name?
- what section of the hardware store would I look for it at?
- anybody know of a good owner-operated hardware store in York Region
(North of Toronto) that I can go to instead of the BORG?
Thanks again.

When I built houses, I got these from the lumberyard along with the framing
material, or I got it from a sheet metal/roofing supplier.

If so, try looking for a "round soffit vent".

Any full service lumberyard. Ask for "pop-in vents". Most commonly used
locally for soffit and/or sidewall venting.
