The Secret Meaning Behind A Magnet On Locks During Winter
By CHRISTY RAE AMMONS
If you've ever noticed magnets on the locks of front doors and cars, there is a clever reason behind it. These magnets are used to prevent the locks from freezing during winter.
This strategy ensures that moisture doesn't seep into the lock and freeze, which could lead to a frustrating and potentially risky situation where the lock can't be opened.
The success of this method hinges on using a magnet that is strong enough to adhere firmly to the lock and is sized just right to cover the keyhole fully so water can't seep in.
The beauty of this hack lies in its simplicity: Users can easily remove the magnet to unlock the door, and then reattach it afterward to keep the lock protected from freezing.
