glass door

See-through entry panel

A glass door is a door made primarily of glass, typically set in a frame of wood, metal, or aluminum.

Glass doors let light pass between spaces while maintaining physical separation: The conference room has a glass door so you can see if it's occupied.

They appear in homes, offices, and storefronts, ranging from sliding patio doors to revolving entrance doors.

The transparency that makes them useful also makes them hazardous—people occasionally walk into them.
