They won't work (well they shouldn't).
Used to be that your garage door would operate on a fixed frequency. Sit outside with a scanner, read frequency, reproduce, hey presto garage door goes up. (Check Gone in 60 Seconds where they do exactly this!)
Because of that, they now have cycling codes but many don't use encryption or have intrusion prevention systems. You can get stuff that can read a transmitted code and cycle though the billion alternatives in about 15 mins.
So either upgrade to something that is encrypted (properly) or don't leave gold bars sitting in your glove box.
