This happened to me twice in the past week. Today my passenger lock was frozen but my key worked in the driver's side door.

I wouldn't bother taking it to Honda, they can't do anything about the lock design. Just get some lock de-icer and spray it in there, or keep some windshield wiper/de-icer fluid in a spray bottle and use that. I prefer that stuff to using an ice scraper on the windows.

Thats one good way to make it so your doors won't freeze. Shave everything off.

Mine did that just a couple nights ago. It was freeeezin and when I came out of work I chirped my alarm and couldnt open my door. I had to crawl over the console from the passenger side! It opened after I hit it a couple of times.

I won't worry about it. It happens because water gets in and freezes over night. Happens to the best of us.
