WD 40 worked to the point where I could finally get the key all the way into the lock. But the key still won't turn. Ideas please!

    In the olden days, people used to heat the key with a lighter repeatedly, then let it cool in the lock...

    There are frozen lock chemicals...(alcohol in a spray can with a special tip to deliver it into the lock)...available at your hardware store, or possibly your local supermarket...

    If your a man and your in a hurry you could pee on it but if you have the time then you can get a blowdrier and defrost the thing.
