Sign up ×  I do some maintenance on the neighborhood ice-skating
rink. To control the lights, there is an outside electrical
panel that is locked with a padlock.  This padlock always get
frozen. Every time I need to mess with the light controls, I got
a hard time to even get the key in, then I cannot even turn it.
The only solution I found so far is to heat it up with my bare
hands, to the risk of getting chilblain. That was sustainable
when the weather was good, but the temperature is going down to
-25 Celsius (-13 Fahrenheit) this week.  Is there a easier way
to unfrozen it?  share|improve this question possible duplicate

automotive shop. –  Tester101 Jan 24 '13 at 16:07 I'm going to

once it has frozen
