WD40 will work in a pinch, wouldn't use it too much though as it tends to degrease the lock mech.

Re: How shall you be dealing with frozen locks?
No issues with locks or central locking freezing in my short experience, however this morning did have my mates L-series engined freelander refuse to start... frozen starter solenoid. Hot water from the kettle and a few taps from a metal pole conveniently lying around and presto, no problem. He was amazed

Most people's garages are full of junk - no space for cars!

Re: How shall you be dealing with frozen locks?
I went out to the 827 the other morning with a view to going into work for a wee while.
Tried it once and the locks were frozen. Tried the boot and it opened. Contemplated climbing through.
Ended up closing it all up and went back into the house.
Had a very nice day with the other half and my son lazing about watching TV and drinking tea!
