When a padlock has spent along time in the cold, especially in an open environment, it hardens. It requires a lot of energy to unlock, but there is a risk of breaking the key. .

For easier opening, it is recommended that you pour lubricating oil into it and leave it for a day without use, the next time you will press the padlock it will be easy for you.

If you do not have lubricating oil, use cooking oil or olive oil as an alternative.
