Why locals in Dollar Point 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.
The spare key is mountain insurance — the neighbor who checks pipes, the caretaker, the kid coming up Friday night ahead of you. We cut accurate spares at your door (kiosk copies of copies drift out of spec), including cloned chip keys for the car.
A word about winter: we’re honest about storm days. When the roads over the hill are chained up or closed, we’ll tell you straight on the phone whether we can reach Dollar Point today — and help you figure out a plan either way. No dispatch-center promises we can’t keep.
