Most/all electronic combination locks have timeouts after too long a pause between digits/tones, reset if too many digits/tones are entered, etc. (By tones I'm thinking touch-tones such as telephone response systems.) If this was supposed to be voice recognition, there would HAVE to be a LOT more than just simple tone sample decoding, such as duration, rise/fall, etc. I like MacGyver, but . . .
