Have you seen those little key-fob things that have a flashlight and a heated metal probe to de-ice the lock? Saw one advertised the other day for about $3 and wondered if they work.

Really, never heard of those. Mine arn't too bad, a hot sponge around the tumbler housing for 30 seconds worked fine.

I'm going to let it thaw in the garage and spray some WD40 in there to displace and water that is freezing up. I wonder what the local auto parts store has to cure this problem.

don't use oil....it attracts dust and dirt and will gum up the tumblers in time....or wear them prematurely....light dry heat (hairdrier) is better and safer.
