I would like to put a deadbolt Z-Wave lock on my patio door (standard door) but it has a large glass pane. My current lock is a double key deadbolt. Does anybody have a model number that has a keyed inside lock rather than the more common thumb paddle ?
For this I would entertain Zigbee even though I have no other Zigbee devices.

Doesnât exist. While it is not currently compatible with Hubitat, you could look into the Level lock.
Never seen one although the Level âhiddenâ bolt has not got one I believe either inside or out. Not sure if itâs ZWave thoughâŚ.
I think itâs a safety considerationâŚto allow easy fire escape..

This confirms my research. Disappointing.
Deadbolts next to glass are useless with a thumb lever.
Double-cylinder deadbolts (i.e. key required to unlock on both inside and outside, as discussed here) are illegal to install on residential exterior doors where I live, for this very reason.

I have them on all my exterior doors. I can always go out the window right next to the door.
Your personal situation notwithstanding, what @marktheknife pointed out is a fact - double-cylinder locks are illegal in many states. Therefore, it is unlikely you'll find a smart version of one.
Although it seems to me that you should be able to use a Level lock.
I believe I will go with a key vault and door sensors. Accomplishes all that I want.
