If it's below 0 (celcius) it's obviously ice. If de-icer did not help, you either used bad de-icer, or used it incorrectly. People who tend to figure out that winterinevitably comes andbrings freezing temps with it, usually spray something like WD-40 into their locks in late fall

ok, where do i spray the wd40, the exterior door handle and the interior handle? or just on the locking mechanism where the door ad frame connect?

thanks

You can't turn the key, right? So you spray INTO the keyhole. Use the small straw provided.
