how does powdered graphite in a lock keep it from freezing? if
the polwder is
in the cylinder, then water get also gets into the cylinder then
it freezes wouldn't you just have a frozen cylinder that doesn't
turn?

Dunno, but I will say I use powdered graphite at the first sign of
lock stickiness in the cold, and I haven't had a lock freeze on
me.

I don't go round pouring water into my lock cylinders though. :-)

neither do I, but the recent rains saoked my garage locks.

You need an awning over your garage-side door(s).

awnings are oh so 1960's

But standing out in the cold while your locks are frozen is a timeless
tradition!
