i honestly have never had this problem. Sometimes the doors freeze shut, but if you pull hard enough they always open.

I had a problem like that, instead of my locks freezing the door mechanism froze, so when i pulled up on the handle, the mehanism fell apart. I thought it was frozen so I'm dumping de-icer in there. All to no avail. Had to bust out a window to get in.

I put lock de-icer in there once and they haven't froze since. My trunk for frozen for a while though so I just had the heater cranked up and it defrosted.

The lock de-icer also lubricates and prevents the locks from freezing up for a while, it's good shit.

Yeah dude theres shit load of shit against it.
1) white grease sold every where just spray some inside (when they are not frozen)any grease works but this one is just better.
2) if you end up lock out put a lighter to the key
heat it up and put it in. takes couple of tries though.
3) don't know about walmart deicers never tried those

wd-40 or de-icer will thaw it. According to most owners manuals, you are supposed to oil your lock cylinders once a year with a few drops of 5w-30 motor oil.

Just make sure you always have a lighter on you. Whenever my locks freeze I just heat the shit out of my key w/ the lighter. Put the key in the lock for a minute and try it. If it doesn't open, repeat the process.

hey, look for a little gizmo that looks like a wire thingie, it's like 10 bucks, and runs on a tiny battery.
it warms up the metal thing, like constantly, doubles as a little flashlight, and goes on your keychain, so you just flick it out, and stick it in, thrusting not recommended, lol.

How about you don't wash your car when it's below freezing out. Ever think of that?

Put your key in both palms, and breathe on it, then put it into the lock. Do this a couple times and it should open.

get a big cup of hot water and pour it over the lock, that usually does it, I have to do that on my hydraulic hoses for my plow alot.

.at that point I started to cry...mainly 'cause I sat on my balls. I banged this chick so hard one time..she had to adjust her cant.

don't lock your doors, just take anything of value out of it and don't ever lock it. I had a bad experience once where i locked my car and it froze shut. we were hiking in the woods during the winter, we were all in another dimension and when we started to come back to reality i found out i couldn't get into my car, needless to say we didn't know what to do, so i was about to break a window then we acquired de icer from someone. lesson learned do not lock car doors ever!!!!!

on a warmer day, put wd40 in there... it will displace the water and it shouldn't freeze up.
