Subject:Frozen Locks! after rain
From:Carl Hansen
Date:Mon, 20 Dec 2004 19:40:56 -0500

Any one else have this problem?  Last nights rain soaks the mechanisms,
then the temperature drops below freezing and in the Morning...... I have
to yank on the door to get the door to release the seal.... and worse, the
lock mechanism freezes up and won't latch when I try shut it!

Heat loosens the mechanism temporarily, but it takes sittin in the sun for
hours to make the phenomenon truly go away!

Any ideas????  too much grease?  not enough grease?  kinda frustrating........
