Who we are

A Locksmith for Your Home, Business and Auto

in Truckee, N. Lake Tahoe, Incline Village, West Shore, Donner Summit, and Surrounding Areas.
We’ve all been there. Standing in the store parking lot during a snowstorm, and your keys lay on the driver’s seat of your rental car. Locked in. Or when we have to break into our own cabin. Again. Or after a day on the slopes, all we want is a cup of hot cocoa, but our keys are nowhere to be found. Lost.

FAQS

Frequently Ask Questions.

Certainly, here are some example questions that customers might have about your services.

What should I do if I'm locked out of my home or car?

 In the event of a lockout, it’s best to contact a professional locksmith for assistance. They have the tools and expertise to safely and quickly unlock doors without causing damage.

How can I improve the security of my home?

You can enhance home security by upgrading to high-quality locks, installing deadbolts, and considering smart lock systems. Regular maintenance and rekeying of locks can also help.

What's the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?

Rekeying involves changing the internal pins and tumblers of a lock so that it works with a new key. It’s a cost-effective way to maintain security. Replacing a lock means entirely removing the old lock and installing a new one, which is necessary if the lock is damaged or outdated.

Can a locksmith help with keyless entry systems?

Yes, many locksmiths are trained in keyless entry systems and can install, repair, or reprogram them as needed.

How do I choose the right locksmith?

Look for a licensed and insured locksmith with a good reputation. Ask for recommendations from friends or family and read online reviews. Verify their credentials and ensure they offer the services you need.
