Frozen latch?

Wd40 spray in the locks at night?

I have a garage and it doesn't freeze at all  but I haven't started it for couple of weeks.

i always defrost the windows with warm (not hot) water so with the bit left i run down the door seals and thats always done the trick for me

This is working for me... but wipe of the excess!

Pouring water over the handle.... that's just a daft idea (that, albeit works)

oh well, snow for tomorrow but I have used coma spray grease in the holes mentioned.  We'll see if the doors open tomorrow.

It's not the keyhole that is freezing but the actual lock assy.
If acute, plate you hand without glove under the key hole for a few minutes, this will sufficiently warm it up to open again.

For prevention, remove the black blanking plug on the side off the door and spray lithium grease there.
Or then take the lock out, clean, dry and regrease and you won't have the problem again for years.

if this works you are a diamond!
its such a pain trying to get in the car at 7 in the morning freezing my nuttts off
