What if the door lock freezes?
When using cars in winter, if you use cars in some cold areas, you may encounter the situation that the car lock is frozen. In this case, if you do not handle it reasonably, it may lead to the damage of the door lock or the door seal. Today's topic is what to do if the door lock is frozen?
In this case, since most vehicles have been configured with remote control unlocking, you can first unlock the vehicle by remote control to see whether the four doors have been frozen. If there is a door that can be opened, enter the car, start the vehicle, and open the warm air. In the process of hot car, as the temperature inside the car changes, the door out of the ice will gradually dissolve. If there is a hair dryer on the car at this time, it can be powered by the power supply on the car to blow the frozen door, which can greatly speed up the speed of melting ice. If none of the four doors can be opened, many people will choose to use hot water to pour the frozen position. Although this method can be quickly removed, it will cause damage to the paint surface and seal elements of the vehicle. The correct method is to first scrape the ice off the surface of the door with a hard object such as a card, and then pour warm water over the frozen part of the door. The above methods can basically solve this problem, but there will be situations where the temperature is too low or the ice is too thick, and it is impossible to open the door for a short time. In this case, only the above method can be used to slowly deal with or spray to ice, there is no particular direct and rapid way.
In the daily process of our car, in order to avoid this situation, we can try to wipe off the water of the vehicle after washing the car, and after wiping, we can smear some alcohol on the surface of the door to prevent freezing. If you can, park in a warm garage to avoid the risk of freezing the doors.
