Frozen Locks

galaxygrey · 12-04-2007, 11:42 AM

Hi I have a civic DX with manual locks. Yesterday one of the locks (drivers door) slightly froze. kind of worring. I wonder what you can do to prevent that.

Thxs in advance.

froze from cold weather, or just got stuck?

there are many commercial lock de-icers that work well. you can also spray a little rubbing alcohol in there to melt the ice.

if it just got stuck, a little WD-40 in the lock will do it some good.
