De-icing key hole

tboy said:
If all else fails you can find a local mall that has heated indoor parking and put it in there for a couple of hours. Then once you are able to turn the key use the WD40 as suggested.

I once washed my car in the winter and it was quite warm in the sun but as the sun started to set everything froze. I had to park in the underground until I got all the locks working again.

Well, that may have worked if you were already inside the car when the locks froze, but in this case, it sounds like he can't get into the car, so I don't think he can drive it to a local mall.

Is this what I should apply to my door seals to keep them from freezing shut on very cold days like this past Thursday?

Yes this should work, we use it at work for other applications. Don't use Vaseline it has more corrosive properties. Also use gloves when applying not that it will hurt you but it is hard to clean the hand.

Throwing flame in the key hole might melt some of the plastic inside the mechanism.

Won't the excessive heat also bend the metal after repeated use???

sure, if you were heating the metal white hot, which I don't think you can really do if you are holding it in one hand and the lighter in another. Heat source is not hot enough to do any damage to the key.
