Come to find out, neither Home Depot nor the local fireplace supply place carries chimney clean out doors. I have to go to a masonry supply place (of course) to get one. The fireplace guy said it would be likely easier to trim the flange on the door than to trim the cinder block, so at least I got that much out of the day.
I did set about fixing the crack in the chimney though.

I got out my Dremel and grinder attachment and widened it a bit to receive the patch material. Made sure to wear eye protection and a face mask!

| Hard to tell, but now it's a wider vertical crack! |
As luck would have it, I ran into the Quickcrete supplier guy at Home Depot the other day and asked him what product he had that would be easy enough for me to handle to do this job. He pointed me to a mid-cost tube material. We'll see how well it works. It was super stiff to apply, but it looks like it did the trick. Time will tell how well it holds up.
