Awesome & we appreciate you watching & sharing this. We literally did this a few days ago on a lock. 😁 Never lets us down...a 100% accomplished track record when using this method. 😎👍

Pure anti-freeze (the 'glycol'), will prevent ice freezing later. Heating the key with a lighter works. Also spray lock de-icer for the windshield, etc. Up here in Quebec (1st snow in October, last in April) we have this misery every winter. An ordinary lighter is way less intense than a torch, btw, and does the job. Then leave the lock in a warm air-stream from a heater to dry the interior. Add a light oil or white grease to the cross bolt and shackle. Even a toaster will be less intense than a torch to melt the ice , and do the job. Wrap Al foil around the plastic to help prevent melting.

You can also take some isopropyl alcohol into a mist bottle and squirt inside the lock
