Deadbolt work, done at your door in Alpine Meadows

Why locals in Alpine Meadows call Lightning
Vacation country adds its own twists: guest turnovers, cleaners and caretakers who need coded access, and owners who live hours away. We build simple, reliable key and access systems that work for how Alpine Meadows properties are actually used.
A quality deadbolt with a reinforced strike is the single best security dollar a mountain homeowner can spend — most break-ins are kicks, not picks. We install and upgrade deadbolts sized for swollen winter doors, with strikes anchored into the stud, not just the trim.
