To Prevent Door Locks from Freezing

~1min read

To prevent the locks from freezing, spray an approved anti-freeze lock lubricant or glycerin into the key opening. If the lock is blocked by ice, spray an approved de-icer into the lock to remove the ice. If the lock is frozen internally, you can thaw it with a heated key. Handle the heated key carefully to avoid injury.
