most car part stores carry a product called " lock de-icer" eighter in a spray or a tube, if you can t find it let me know, and I could get some for ya, here in Canada its a standard winter item ,

Bic lighter - Heat your key, then insert. Or you could move somewhere warmer.

if i got the de-icer stuff will i have to spray it into the door lock every time it gets frozen, or does it last a while and prevent it from freezing in the first place?

I would spray them with WD-40. Insert the small red tube into the lock and give one spray. Good Luck!

Yes you would have to spray it each time, when its frozen but if you used this stuff on it before, it dosent really freeze up after.

Lock de-icer Should take car off it. It takes out all of the ice in the locks before you put your key in. So then you have no hassel. Should get it at an automotive store.

This will work, too. I would do the WD-40 now, and carry a lighter with me just in case.
