Replacement for voile curtains on UPVC front door with side windows

I need to replace the voile curtains on my rented-out flat's front door (with two smaller side windows) as the tenants keep knocking them down. Anyone know a decent alternative? I don't want stick on frosted panels as I want the tenants to be able to see out. Standard roller blinds with side fittings won't work as the door is in the way.
Any suggestions very welcome!

A picture would help.
My first question would be whether you need nets at all.
Secondly, why do they knock them down?
If the problem is that they keep catching on the door, then consider running a wire through the bottom of the voile as well as the top.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages, student & coronavirus Boards, money saving boards.

It's a ground floor flat and easy to walk up to and see in with a door that doesn't look without a key. And, I've no idea what they're doing to knock them off. I lived there for nine years and the rods were fine! The wire may the easiest and quickest solution although I don't think they look great hence trying to see if there are smarter alternatives.

I've found 'cassette blinds' that could possibly do the trick.0 -
The "Perfect Fit" blinds are available as a honeycomb solid blind or venetian. More expensive than voile! https://www.blinds-2go.co.uk/perfect-fit
