What do you guys use in the winter time to make sure your door locks are not frozen when you want to get your truck going in the winter?? I do not have a garage to put my vehicle in and wonder what things you all use...

i have two hand spray bottles, one in the house one in the truck. both with straight methanol. windshield washer fluid should work to. do NOT heat ether one on the stove, just room temp should work.

No keyless entry I take it? They do make a lock deicer in a can. I usually just breathe onto the lock and just wiggle the key into it. You can also use a lighter to heat the key up.
