Preventing Door Button Freeze

[Jackstraw]

Live in a cold climate and my door buttons get a bit frozen. Generally, I can get them open but was hoping someone had a suggestion to minimize freezing/sticking. Will graphite powder help?

I think frozen water is frozen water, I doubt graphite would help much. Normally I would suggest something to displace water like a penetrating oil, but I don't think I would take a chance on compromising the buttons contacts or electronics even with a rubber safe product like an electronics spray. In this instance I think I would just use the fob to unlock and keep my door jams wiped down with a silicone product to keep the weather seals from sticking and pull gently on the handle since they have been known to come apart too.
Sorry I don't have any better ideas but felt like you could do with at least one reply. Good luck!

Spill your coffee on them. WOrks for me.

Might just need to hit them with a blow dryer occasionally to get the water dried out. I used to use lock de-icer on my trailer locks and it worked good, but not sure it would work with no real way to get it into the button edges.

Move to a warmer climate. Sorry Florida is full at this time
