Keeping Clasps on Dog Chains From Freezing

RE: Keeping Clasps on Dog Chains From Freezing By Sandy (Guest Post) You can use lock de-icer that you would buy to thaw the lock on your car door. This lock de-icer comes in a little metal tube (looks like binaca mouth stuff) and has a nozzle on it that you would put in the key hole on your car.Press the nozzle into the clip of the chain and press a bit of the fluid in and you are all set!

I had a lock on my air conditioner and when I took it off to have a new unit installed the lock came right off.

Because it was flat, she could close the door with the clasp inside the house. this kept it from freezing, and she did not have to stand with the door open to fasten the dog onto the leash. Also, the dog came back into the house before she took the leash off which kept him from running off the minute he got unhooked!

Also, you can pour rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) on the clasp and it will unfreeze it instantly. This is roughly the same ingredient in lock de-icer.

This was my first that I thought about, since it works for so many things. Now to see how long it will last over the next few day. Give it a try, and a suggestion. Do a search for WD-40, there are 1,000 of things that you can use it for.

Our dog chain/cable reaches to the door of the house so when it is likely to freeze up overnight I let the chain/cable trail just inside the door. This is a big help and I also don't have to wander outside to find the chain in the sub-freezing temps. This would work if your chain reaches to the garage or any space that is warmer than the outside.
