Usually, locks in the country freeze after sudden changes in temperature, which are accompanied by the hardening of sticky snow into a thick crust.
You can try to simply knock on the metal part, but what if the ice has penetrated inside the well?
First of all, you need to remember to avoid hot water, since in severe frost it will freeze almost instantly.
And if the lock freezes heavily from the inside, it can completely ruin it.
What can you do if you give up water?
The best solution is hot air, which will dry out some of the moisture or simply blow it away.
Some summer residents prefer to use the famous WD-40, which can quickly solve the problem.
To prevent the lock from freezing in winter, you can cover it with a cap made from a cut plastic bottle.
It is not recommended to use too much lubricant such as grease or machine oil in severe frost.
