Remote control, like a car. Were you pleased? When the batteries get
weak, do you know if the door did not get looked? It uses iirc 4 AA
cells. (With a car, one locks the door when he's finished driving so the
car battery is allways strong.)


Seems obvious to me that with a dead battery, it's not going to be
able to lock the door.....


Well which direction is "fail safe" -- locked or unlocked?

Did they choose to lock you out or not? Or does it just stay in
present state?

Could be designed as any of the above...

I'm pretty much old school and the fewer such doodads to have to have
the better--albeit will admit the car fob is handy but would I want
another one for the house? Don't think so...but ceratainly wouldn't
want to be interchangeable or something like that. And, I'm not a smart
phone kind of guy to put stuff on apps, either...
