How I solved the problem of freezing constipation in outbuildings

My farm consists of a dwelling house, as well as an old wooden house next door, in which chickens live in winter. Every morning I go to turn on their lights, feed them and change the water. At the same time, in the last days, when frosts above 15 degrees were established in the Urals, opening the locks became a real torment for me.

The latches on the metal doors freeze, and I have difficulty opening them. And I stopped closing the lock that hangs on the old house altogether, because it does not open in the morning. It is, of course, purely symbolic, nevertheless, it creates at least the appearance of a locked door. But having ruined the manicure even with gloves, I did not suffer anymore.

And then I saw that my husband was using some kind of lubricant in the locks of the car. Of course, I immediately wondered what it was and this is what I discovered.

It turns out that this is a silicone grease, the range of action of which is from minus 40 to plus 200 degrees. And I begged him for this wonderful lubricant for my household needs. After I lubricated the bolt, it stopped sticking in the morning, and the lock began to open perfectly. Of course, if it is minus 40 in winter, you will have to renew the lubricant, because it will deteriorate. But for now I am delighted that I have found such a great solution.

It is very simple to use the lubricant - a thin tube is fixed in the cap, with the help of which the lubricant can be introduced into the narrowest holes.

Before using it, you need to shake it up and press the spray bottle, as in any aerosol. Excess need not be sprayed, a very thin layer is enough.

To be honest, not to tell my husband about such extravagance, I also greased the locks on the flasks in which I store grain and mixed feed for chickens. And now I open these tight locks with a light movement, even in the most severe frost. Therefore, the use of a wonderful lubricant was found the widest.

I advise everyone to give it a try who is not yet using silicone grease. We have the same as in the photo, but I think that there are many varieties on sale, choose according to your taste.
