Frozen Locks

If you are having cold weather and one of your locks outside has stopped working, the chances are it has frozen. Try heating the lock with a hair dryer until you are able to turn the key. If you don't have a hair dryer, try heating the key with a ligher or match before using. Be careful not to burn your hand as the key will get hot.

also if you put some rubbing alchohol in a spray bottle and squirt one time it will unthaw the lock
