Frozen Door Locks
We're having a spell of cold weather in Ireland at the moment. But it seems my door locks are freezing over. I can unlock and open the door but when I try to close it, it just bounces back out again. The door lock - or latch - isn't catching.
The cure I've found is to direct a hot air stream into the door latch mechanism using a hair dryer. After a few seconds it unfreezes whatever was frozen and off I go.
By the way when I say cold spell, I mean temperatures down to perhaps -4 C. I'm surprised the door locks are freezing at that temperature.
