I will give more content to talk profoundly and share sources to back up the answer. If interested, take about 3 minutes to read the following paragraphs, please.

Safe to answer the door for the unknown person

When facing strangers, the homeowner can talk with him and need to open the glass panel but keep the whole door locked. It is safe and convenient to pay the delivery driver, get mail from the mailman, or get take-out food, and the homeowner needs to open only the glass panel without opening the whole door.

Ventilation

An entry door with operable glass panels gets better ventilation, lets the fresh air in, and lets more breeze come in the summertime. You can open the glass panel for more sunlight because the glass will block more or less sunlight. The wood doors will not have these benefits.

Easy to clean up

You can open the glass panel to clean up the glass for the doors with operable glass panels; if you want, you can easily take the whole glass panel off from the door to clean. It is more difficult to clean the fixed glass, and you need to get through the metal scrolls to clean the glass side near the metal scrolls for a fixed glass panel.

Protect glass better before and during installing

It is apt to be broken for a glass panel without a good package during transportation, loading, and reloading. Because the operable iron door glass panel is separate, it can be packed individually, with no need to pack with the door; thus protecting the glass panel better. In contrast, the fixed glass panel should be packed with the door together, making the whole package heavier and the glass panel easier to break. So the operable glass panel can be protected better during transportation, whether it is sea transportation or car transportation. And an individual package for a glass panel can protect the glass better during the installation of the door.

Make the door installation easier

The installation steps for the whole door should be like this: the door jamb first, the door leaves second, then the glass panel; Since installing the glass panel is the last step, each part of the door is installed separately, and the door is less heavy without the glass panel, so the door is easier to be installed.

Easy to change the glass

Whether changing the glass texture to get a new look for the entry door or simply changing the broken glass, you can do it yourself for an operable glass panel. Without the boring measurement for the glass, no need to pay a higher cost to call a repairer for on-site checking of the glass. You only need to take the glass panel off from the door, take it to the glass store or the supplier of your door, choose the texture you want, and let them know your requirement for the glass. They can replace the right size glass.
