Post Contact troubles
Since the yearly big freeze has started again my ignition key is really hard to turn...
Is it frozen or could it be something else that just happened to happen when it started freezing?

If your lock is frozen .....
Squirt some WD40 into the lock .....chances are it'll cure the prob.....for now.
Then when the weather warms up squirt some Electrical Contact Cleaner into the lock to shift the WD40.
If the poblem persists,remove the lock & investigate further .....it's no joke when your lock is completely fubar'd.

Don't have any WD40 or anything at this location but some vodka did the job for now :)
