Placement of deadbolt on door with glass panes

Buy a double cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on both sides of the
door, and mount the lock at the normal height.
At least where I live these are not allowed in new construction due to
fire hazard. They recommend impact-resistant glass or polycarbonate
windows instead.
I have one in the house I just bought. I detest the inconvenience of
it. I'm planning on replacing the door anyways, and the new deadbolt
will NOT be keyed on the inside.
