That won't work with the newer units that have been available for quite a few years now. They use a pseudo random code system that is synched between that unit and it's remotes. You could press the opener thousands of times and it stll wouldn't open the door.

Does the above exclude exclude situations with working smoke detectors? Virtually every fire fatality I've read about where info was provided, there was no working smoke detector.
