They have a graphite key lubricant that will not freeze in the
temperature range that most humans would ride. It is easier and
cleaner to apply and you can take it home and put it in your front
door lock as well.

Won't do much to free a frozen lock, but applied each year it got me
through several Michigan winters with no frozen locks - even after
thaw and refreezing several times. Hardly necessary down here in
Maryland. Especially this year...
