In the last home I had I had that side light replaced with glass blocks. It let light in but wasn't going to be broken. In another home with the same side glass I installed another dead bolt lock that could only be opened with a key from the inside. I put the key on a nail far away from the side light. This gave me security that someone couldn't reach inside and unlock the door, but I could in an emergency open the door from the inside.
I'm more concerned with security than how it looks even though I really like the looks of the glass doors, but impractical.
