Why locals in Donner Summit / Norden call Lightning
Mountain conditions are tough on hardware. Freeze-thaw cycles swell doors, grit wears pins, and summit winters seize bolts that worked fine in October. We stock parts chosen for Sierra weather and set up every lock to keep working in January, not just July.
Between long-term rentals in Truckee and seasonal leases around the lake, tenant transitions are constant up here. We rekey units same-day, document the work for your records, and set up landlord master systems so the next turnover is a phone call, not a project.
