About This Video

The other day I ran into something I’ve honestly never dealt with before—a frozen lock cylinder on my car. I’m in the Washington area now, and when my key fob died I had to use the manual door lock. The problem was I couldn’t even get the key into the cylinder because ice had built up in the door lock. In this video I show you how I handle it using Blaster’s GUNK Lock Dry Lubricant + De-Icer. I’ll walk you through a couple different ways to apply it: spraying it into the lock with the straw (after you push the little flap open), or spraying it directly on the key and working the cylinder. It goes on wet, but it’s a dry formula so it dries fast and doesn’t turn into a greasy dirt magnet. The big takeaway is it helps de-ice a lock that’s already frozen and also helps prevent it from icing up again, and you can use it on door locks, ignition switches, deadbolts, trailer hitch locks—pretty much anything you need to keep moving smoothly in cold weather.
