frozen locks???
Anybody ever had issue with their deadbolt being frozen. It's in the teens and lower here in Northern MD. Went home to VA for the weekend....came home and can't get my deadbolt to turn. Key goes in...

I recommend using a dry graphite lubricant. Oil based lubricants tend to gum up when they're cold and they collect dirt and grit and will cause further problems down the road. A short term solution is to put a glove on and use a lighter to heat up your key. Slip the key into the lock and let it sit for a minute. Do that three or four times and it should allow the lock to turn. After it's freed up, spray a little graphite lube into it and work the lock several times.
