Ice isn't on the outside guys it's on the inside.

But thanks for all the tips just the same.

I'm shocked your boss didn't tell you to break the window and slide in NASCAR style. (Well not really but I can see my boss telling me that).

This stuff works pretty well for locks, but for door jambs there's little you can do, without worry of damaging the door.

I dont know what it is about bosses that makes them have no common sense sometimes..

If you cant get INTO the car, how did he expect you to show up for work?

Hope it warms up quickly!

Im stuck in a blizzard,,,

you can get a lock unfreezer from a hardware/auto care store. They cost like $10 and are shaped like a key, you insert them into the lock for a few minutes and they melt the ice in the lock.

I hope you didnt get into too much trouble.

What I have done in some situations like that ((Last winter that was HORRIBLE)) warm water and a turkey baster. you can squirt the water into the cracks of the door so it gets to the frozen bits... it takes a bit of time, but normally I have found it works well.

Once you're able to get the door open, apply a liberal amount of WD-40 to the hinges, spray lock de-icer/lubricant into the lock, and get some silicone lubricant to apply to the rubber weather stripping around the doors. Hopefully, that'll prevent things from freezing up again.

Had to love hearing the pull of ice/metal when I finally got the door opened. Ick.
