What to Do When the Car Door Lock Freezes and Won't Open in Winter?

[DeAngela]

First, use a hairdryer set to low heat and blow it along the door seam for a full cycle, then switch the hairdryer to high heat. After thawing, immediately wipe the melted snow water with a dry cloth to prevent refreezing. Once the snow has melted, the car door can be opened. Rubber becomes hard and brittle, and the friction coefficient decreases. It's advisable to choose better winter tires for replacement and pay attention to the vehicle's tire pressure. For the braking system, replace the brake pads in a timely manner. Among the maintenance items for the braking system, regularly checking the brake fluid level is the most important.
