If anyone thinks there is any “security” in a remote lock&#x2F;unlock fob, then they are just plain old silly. Even your garage door is dead easy to get into as it’s remote does the same thing. Note the house “remote deadbolts” are the exact same rolling code tech and easy to defeat.<p>Why? Because the manufacturer does not want to provide real security, and people will whine like crazy if their keyfob does not work. so they make it insecure for price and reliability
