I agree, Matthew. Besides the obvious safety issue of egress, I have never understood the concept that since there is a glass pane next to the lock it should be double keyed because a would-be thief could easily break the glass and unlock the door.
If a thief is going to break glass to enter the house, what is to stop them from breaking a window and unlocking it so they can enter that way.
It is very rare that I see keyed locks on windows!
