Frozen locks

[Arnold]

Anyone having issues with frozen door locks at the moment? Sandras Corsa has a daily issue with both doors not unlocking. We've tried WD40 in there but hasn't made a difference. Anyone got any more tips?

Boiling the kettle and pouring a little hot water on your key helps. Go easy though, I hold no responsibility for ruined keys Works for me though

DO NOT USE wd40, worse stuff you can possible put in locks, some good old engine oil is all ive ever put in mine, and my dad in his for the past 40 years

WD40 pushes all the oil and greese out of the lock and then evaporates leaving a dry lock perfect for freezing...

I always used to use vaseline. Now I have remote central locking so never use the key lock.
