Broken key work, done at your door in Palisades Tahoe
From our mobile workshop we take care of snapped-key removal from door locks, deadbolts, ignitions and padlocks — plus a fresh key cut on the spot — around the Village at Palisades Tahoe — lodges, shops and employee housing at the resort base.
Why locals in Palisades Tahoe call Lightning
Up here, locks live a harder life than they do in the flats — snow-swollen doors, sub-zero mornings, sandy spring grit. After nearly three decades in the Truckee–Tahoe area we know which hardware survives the mountains and which doesn't, and we install accordingly.
Cold metal is brittle metal — keys snap in frozen cabin deadbolts and stiff ignitions up here every winter. We extract the broken half without wrecking the cylinder, then cut a fresh key so you're not gluing your keyring back together.
