The alarm system manual says it's supposed to relock your doors within
20(?) seconds if you don't open a door (maybe your door switch is dead)
It's to prevent your car sitting unlocked if you accidentally unlock it
as you're walking away from it.

You can get cool 'slip covers' for the fobs that keep them looking new
and they make the buttons harder to push accidentally.
