Winter Door Locks and Frozen Seals: How to Avoid Getting Locked Out

Freezing temperatures, moisture and road salt can cause your vehicle’s door locks and rubber seals to freeze without warning. A little prevention now can save you from a frustrating lockout later.

Prevent frozen doors and locks with these Winter basics:

• Keep door seals clean and dry
• Apply silicone spray to rubber seals to prevent sticking
• Use graphite lubricant in door locks
• Avoid washing your vehicle right before a deep freeze
• Gently thaw frozen doors with warm air
