It will if you heat it up really hot like I described. It will only go in a little ways initially, but let it sit a second or two and it will go in a little farther and so on.
So far I haven't had to heat the key a second time. It transfers enough heat to the tumblers to thaw them out and get it working - even when I couldn't even get the key more than 1/4" into the lock to start with.
I like the keyless entry idea too though...
