How to open frozen car doors: two quick hacks
Despite the fact that it is still warm, the nights are getting colder and even frosty, so any driver can find that the lock in their car is frozen in the morning. To get moving, you need to know how to defrost car doors.
OBOZREVATEL tells you about two simple life hacks that require only simple tools at hand. You won't even need a de-icer.
Cocktail straw
The power of your own breath should be enough to defrost a lock that is not too heavily covered with ice. But to direct it precisely to the place where heat is needed, you'll need a regular cocktail straw. Put it against the lock opening and blow a few times. The machine should soon open easily.
Lighter
The car key itself can also become a warm agent that melts the ice inside the lock. You can heat it up with an ordinary lighter. However, hold the key over the flame carefully so that only its metal part is heated. The plastic head can be damaged by the high temperature. Therefore, do not wait until the key is red-hot - it is enough for it to heat up to a relatively warm temperature. This will be enough to open the lock without damaging the key or burning your hands.
