Frozen Door Poppers

[Jon Brown]

My Door handles (poppers) old style are frozen.

It there a simple solution to stopping this in the future and also resolving the current problem

I used to use wide band electricians tape over the top of them to help stop the water and frost from getting on them. It was cheap and easy to peel up to press the button if you doubled over the end of the tape.
If they ever froze (before I put the tape on) I would sit on them for a short time and then they worked.

Bit late for this year maybe for mine I held down the button and gave it a good dousing in WD40 at the arse end of September and then a couple of weeks later held the button down again and flooded the inside of the housing with some silicone lubricant - seems to work for me generally.

Unfortunetly my parents garage has been a games room for a very long time so no cars allowed in there unfortunetly.

My door lock seems to have completely seized, when I eventually go the door open it was looking rather light on the grease side of things.

When you push the button down it seems to bend the bar rather push down on the catch. It took quite a bit of effort to get the door closed again as it was getting dark.

Not sure how im going to open the door next time though

Leave the roof off and climb in?
