Light it Up
Got a frozen lock that you can’t get your key into? Try enlisting the help of ice’s age-old enemy – fire! If you have a lighter on hand, you could heat up your key and then insert it in the lock to melt the ice slowly.
If there has been more snow than usual and your lock is completely frozen, you may have to heat up your key a couple of times for this to work. Be patient with it and keep turning the key in both directions as you try to melt the ice. Before you know it, your key will slip in and work as smooth as ice (no pun intended).
