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.
Between home sales, seasonal staff and rental turnovers, rekeying is some of the most common work we do in the mountains. Same locks, new keys, done at your door — usually in well under an hour for a whole house.
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.
Reach Dean's team at (530) 308-6643 — free phone estimate, no pressure, no dispatch-center runaround.
