Use a small amount of graphite powder in the lock

Cover exterior locks during severe cold snaps

Avoid breathing directly into the lock (adds moisture)

Commercial lock de-icers work well, but the beauty of this trick is that it:

Requires no special products

Works anywhere

Is always available when you need it most
