Winter months often bring problems for drivers, such as a frozen car lock. It is best to use specialized de-icing products that are safe for the lock mechanism. If you don’t have such a product, you can use WD-40, glycerin, warm water, heating the key, hand sanitizer gel, or medical alcohol as temporary solutions, but each of these has its drawbacks. Experts advise avoiding improvisations and recommend carrying a dedicated de-icing product in the car to avoid issues.
Use de-icer spray or WD-40 for frozen car locks.
