    Default Freezing door locks

    Hello,

    I drive a Seat Inca from my boss, drives nice but when its freezing it is impossible to get into the car.
    A few buckets of warm water will help, but it drives me and my colleges crazy.
    Anyone an idea how to solve this problem ?

    Thank you,

    Martin

    The door key is struggling to be locked in. Are you experiencing winter in your place and may have caused the lock to be freezing? Then, heat up the door key lock as well as the key. Repeat the procedure until the frozen door key lock is melting and if some cases the door lock is not iced up then use some graphite powder to the door key lock. If it does not work then have your key replaced.If the key is new and does not work, let it be polished back by the locksmith.Another problem is that door lock may not bolt shut. The parts are definitely misaligned and needs to be attuned. The hinges should necessarily be constricted or have the misaligned parts a replacement.
