Why would you put a deadbolt with a turn knob on a door with a window that could be knocked out...and the knob turned to unlock the deadbolt? Why not put a lock with a key deadbolt on that type of door?

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

That was a dumb thing to do.  Only a keyed dead bolt shoud be installed in a door with glass panels.

 

You shouldn't!!!!! Dumb decission on your part, Eric

All a dead bolt is going to do is slow them down.  As to the window hopefully you or someone will hear the glass break, as well as slow them down enough to get your firearm.

they can break a window also, if they want to get in bad enough.  basically a dead bolt with a turn knob on inside is used to slow them down, and it makes it harder so tthey have to work to get in. the best thing is an alarm system....or a BIG dog with a mean bark...lol

most of the time it is the building code. if there was a fire or other emergency, you do not have to find a key to let yourself out. with a key, precious seconds are lost locating a key in an emergency. but logic agrees with you, a double keyed deadbolt for anti- break in purposes with a glass door does make sense.

 

Usually a builder would do this for the cost

Keyed deadbolts should never be installed on exit doors of a home !!

In many states, it is illegal to have dual-sided, key operated dead bolts on exit / entry doors. People get trapped and die during fires that way. Some are confused, some are children, some are overnight guests, some are elderly. Sure the homeowner may know where the key is at all times, but will every other person who may be present in an emergency?

For the most part, locks are made to keep the honest people out.  You cannot block egress by code which means you have to have a quick and easy way to unlock the door.  A key can be removed, preventing this so that is why it is not allowed.
