Frozen Locks 200 1984

What's the best solution for frozen door locks, once they happen.

It's 14 degrees F here in Chicago and the passenger side

door opens, but won't latch when closed. Seems

there is a small piece of metal that clasps the

door latch and holds it, thereby keeping the door

closed. This small metal piece isn't moving too

quickly in the cold. Can I spray a penetrating oil

in there to unthaw things with impunity?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
