The key was requiring too many presses to lock and unlock the doors.
Thinking the battery may be low, I removed it, measured the voltage and it
was just a tad under 3v.

I put it back in and the problem was solved. Apparently, the contacts were
not being made well, and the removal and re-insertion did the trick.

You got lucky somehow. The contacts are not the problem.

Replace your battery (CR1616). If you're getting under 3.0V. the battery is
discharged.
