When your car key won't turn because the lock is frozen, the quickest fix is often heat—try a hairdryer or warm metal key. Lubricants like WD-40 or graphite powder can help prevent future freeze-ups but might not resolve a fully iced mechanism. Calling a locksmith, while pricier and slower, saves you from damaging the lock with over-enthusiastic thawing or wrong lubricants.
