buy 1 of those lock de-icer things from a car shop or do what i had to do the other night when i finished work and i could not get into mine because of the same problem i went back into work and filled a plastic bottle up with warm water and squeezed it into the lock , i was in the car park for 20 mins before i could get into the car :p

i have just orderd a lock de-icer of the internet for the cold months coming up... but any idea what i can do for now to get it open..

i have read the web about problems like this, and some people say to heat the kep up with a lighter or use WD-40....would hot water work...?

lol

i used the passenger door to get in, but i really want my drivers side door to unlock...plus if any of my neibours saw me climing though the boot they would think iam a car thief...:D
 
cycle that's what i did
try all other locks don't force key in case of break

don't use water
try a dab of deicer keeping it off paint work
don't arm key in case of breaking it
try fire might work try lock warmer, specialist lock deicer smaller tin :)

open car from inside it does work
its just the lock barrel whats froze lean over the boot is a hard one
