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...


One would figure that any competent design would have some way of warning
that batteries need to be replaced. It could beep each time it's locked
so you know it's locked. And if the batteries are getting low, it could
instead beep 5 times to warn you. ...


....

Just what need--yet another fire alarm beeper to alert you of low
battery to go off in middle of the night !

Which reminds, is spring forward again...I _hate_ replacing those
stinkin' bat-trees.
