Gonna find out. I'm pretty sure that the problem is the bolt freezing to the casing where it slides in and out of the door, not the lock cylinder and/or the smaller parts. My plan is to test it on an old dead bolt I pulled from another door years ago by spraying it liberally and then leaving it in the cold to see what happens. If it doesn't turn to slush or bind the bolt on the old lock I'll give it a try.

Do you have a death wish?

Gobbing up the door edge with sludge that will rub off on the boss's clothes???

Divert the stream, ain't nothin' civilised is going to keep a river of water out of there...

Happy coaching!

I used Krown rust control spray I had in a can. Much thinner and works.
