In the future.. Put some tape, *i always keep tape* use gorilla tape for the best but duct tape works well also, but put a little tape over the keyhole on outside when going into those good ole wintry conditions, keeps moisture out and usually wont freeze up

If they sell gasoline antifreeze in the really small bottles I just poke a small hole in the tinfoil or cap if it doesn't have tinfoil ... Insert key partially in lock and spray away or methyl hydrate if available then I wipe or wash rest off painted surfaces

So how does enough water get in a key hole to freeze and how do you put deicing fluid in the key hole with out air pressure ?
