How to Safely Open a Frozen Car Door Without Causing Damage
• Avoid forcing frozen car doors; gentle pressure or trying another door may work.
• Use lukewarm air from a hairdryer or commercial de-icer sprays to thaw frozen doors safely.
• Prevent future freezing by applying silicone spray to seals and parking in sheltered areas.
Opening frozen car doors with care
Opening a frozen car door in winter can be a delicate task. When moisture infiltrates the seals and locks of your car doors, freezing temperatures can cause them to stick fast. The immediate reaction might be to force the door open, but this can lead to damage, such as broken handles, damaged locks, or scratched paint. Instead, approach the situation with care and patience.
