In winter, in frosty weather it can happen so that open the door in the house or car will be very difficult because of the caught castle. Even with a sharp shortage of time, it is not worth breaking such doors. There is a more humane way to solve this problem. Our today's material is devoted to the topic of heating door locks in winter conditions. Read it to the end, and you will know how to do it.

For manipulations with a frozen castle, you may need: a heated salt in the bag, the heater with hot water or a hairdryer and, of course, alcohol. This list of materials implies two ways to output the lock in the working condition. The first method is a chemical displacement of fluid frozen in it, and the second method is heating it.

As displacing liquids, you can use a spray with WD-40 with a tubular nozzle for narrow holes or ordinary alcohol, a pair of milliliters of which is poured into a medical syringe. After entering such "assistants" in the castle larva, it is often possible to open.

In the event that this method did not work, use heating. Here you need to observe special care. Open fire can be used except for a castle on a barn or on another shopping building. For a car door lock it is unacceptable - there is a risk of damaging the paint of the body of the car or its rubber seals. When the vehicle is located near the house, its frozen castle can be heated with boiling water, filled into the heating floor, or a bag with a salt, heated in a frying pan. Heat in a few minutes will make its own business, and you can easily open the car.

If it is stored in your garage that does not have heating, but with electricity, to defrost the car lock, you can successfully apply the usual hairdryer. Its warm air flow for such a goal is very effective. Being on the car parking lot away from home, your "iron horse" door lock can be heated by attaching a preheated cigarette lighter. You can take it for a while at the neighbor in the car park. Usually adequate car owners do not refuse this.

In a rare case, when the problem with the frozen castle found you with a car in a winter field or in the mountains, you can pray, or use an ordinary lighter. If the drum of the lock does not turn, you need to heat the key with the fire of the accessory. Turning the key in the castle, try to move the locking device cylinder. The most important thing here is not to disfigure the key. This method is quite simple, but often efficient.
Most of the methods described in the article concerns not only car doors' locks, but also of their other species. Finally, another useful advice. With the onset of winter as prevention, handle your graphite-based lubricant locks. Other types of lubricants are undesirable. That's it. Good luck to you, do not freeze!
