When your car key snaps or the lock freezes in a Toronto winter, stay calm and try a few tricks: warm the key with a lighter or de-icer spray (avoid boiling water—it can refreeze and worsen the jam). For a broken key, use needle-nose pliers to extract the stuck piece, or call a locksmith. Always keep a spare key handy and park facing morning sun to reduce frost. Quick, simple actions save you from a cold, frustrating wait.
