Cold weather spray lubricant

Is there a spray that is not affected by the cold. I sprayed my door cable because it was binding a little. Now everytime I go to open the door from the inside. If it is below frezzing outside. I snap the handle right off. I think i sprayed the door mechanics also. Third handle, My brain does not function fully at 04:00

Silicone spray works pretty good for me in cold weather. Most stuff, anyway.

A graphite based lube would work, maybe something like a liquid graphite lock lube.

Fluid Film works well in cold tempatures. I use it in all of my door locks so they don't freeze.

Thanks everyone; I tried what Ford_Six recomended. Cleaned everything up, then used the liquid graphite. Three mornings below frezzing and it works like new. Thought I was going to have to buy left side handles buy the case. The only thing I like buying by the case is liquid refresments. Matter of fact I think i will. See yah Thanks again.
