Car in the winter

What To Do If Your Car Freezes Shut in the Winter

During the harsh winter months, cars often fall victim to the bone-chilling temperatures that can wreak havoc on their various components. One particularly troublesome issue is the freezing shut of car doors and locks. As temperatures plummet, moisture present in the door seals and lock mechanisms can turn into ice, effectively welding the doors closed.

This common winter woe not only poses an inconvenience but can also lead to more significant problems. The frozen doors make it difficult for drivers to access their vehicles, leading to delays and frustration during already challenging weather conditions. Moreover, attempting to force open a frozen door can result in damage to the door seals, hinges, or even the locking mechanism itself.
