I am in western New York near Buffalo. Thanks for the tip I will check it out tonight. No it will not lock with the key either.

If the key won't operate it, then it is internally bound or frozen. I would start with thawing it out with a hair dryer, and if that doesn't do it, then try spraying a little silicone lubricant into the lock and working it loose with the key.

Ok thanks. thats kind of what I was thinking, it was about 40 degrees today and it still didnt work, I will try the hairdryer tonight, worth a try. I did spray wd-40 into the keyhole from the outside and still nothing...

The hairdryer trick worked! Thanks for the help. Its odd because one day was almost 40 and raining so I figured it would have thawed but I guess not. My wife wasnt too happy about me taking her hairdryer though. Thanks again
