I'd be careful with a 201 or newer as theres a lot of plastic right there, with
the old 123 I just hold the torch flame right on the lock, no worries... I
guess I'm pretty redneck.
I did melt the door handle ever so slightly a couple times. Worst was last
summer when I was trying to get the locks unstuck. If I'd have known the amount
of crud in there before I started I wouldn't have wasted my time.

'Poured warm water on frozen lock areas several years ago to thaw 'em; I'd
carefully use hair drier if necessary. Likely won't have this again for
years.
BTW, I think I got a little frostbite on tips of fingers cleaning the snow
off yesterday - not prepared for it, bare hands, etc; fingers tingling
today. 'Need to remember that thermodynamics works here, too.
