From Carson City, Over the Summit to the Lake
The Nevada side of Lake Tahoe is part of Douglas County, and it sits roughly 25 to 30 miles from Carson City. To get there we take US-50 west over Spooner Summit and down to the shore. It is a beautiful mountain drive, and it is also the reason we always talk timing with you up front, because snow, ice and holiday traffic can slow it down.
Up here, a lot of lock trouble happens to people who are not home. Visitors locked out of a rental, owners who arrive to find a dead keypad, guests who drove off with the only key. We come to the property or the parking lot with everything needed to open, rekey or replace the lock on site.
Lakeshore Communities We Cover
- Stateline and its condo and resort area
- Kingsbury Grade (SR-207) neighborhoods
- Zephyr Cove
- Round Hill
- Glenbrook
- Homes along US-50 on the east shore
Help for Vacation Rentals, Second Homes and Property Managers
Short-term rentals and part-time homes need locks that are easy to manage from a distance.
Guest lockouts
A guest is outside a rental with a dead keypad or a lost key. We open the door, confirm the guest is authorized with you, and get the lock working again.
Rekeys between owners or managers
When a property changes hands or management, rekey so old keys and lockbox keys stop working. It is the cheapest way to start fresh.
Keypad and smart locks
Keypad and smart locks let you change guest codes without handing out keys. We install them and replace failing units.
Ski Season, Beach Season and Winter Conditions
Lake Tahoe has two busy seasons. In winter, skiers head for Heavenly and the shore fills with weekend visitors. Car keys get lost in the snow, fobs die in the cold and car doors freeze shut overnight. In summer, beach days bring keys locked in cars at crowded lots and keys dropped in the sand or the water. Either way, our car lockout service and car key replacement work the same: we come to the vehicle.
Snow and ice also affect home locks. Doors swell, keypads drain their batteries and deadbolts stiffen until they will not turn. Please do not force a frozen lock. Call us, and if the hardware is worn out, we can replace it with something better suited to mountain weather.
Winter driving over the summit can take longer, so we will give you honest timing when you call. If you are somewhere cold, tell us, and look for a warm place nearby to wait.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you come to Stateline and Zephyr Cove at night?
Yes. We are open 24/7, including nights and weekends, for Stateline, Kingsbury, Zephyr Cove, Round Hill and Glenbrook. The drive over Spooner Summit can take longer in snow, so we will give you honest timing when you call.
Do you serve Incline Village?
Incline Village is on the north shore in Washoe County. Please call to confirm before you count on us there, and we will tell you whether we can reach your address.
Our rental guest is locked out. Can you let them in?
Yes. We will confirm with the owner or property manager that the guest is allowed in, open the door and get the lock or keypad working again. Have the address and unit number ready.
Should we rekey a Tahoe second home after a manager change?
Yes. Former managers, cleaners and contractors may still have keys. Rekeying makes the old keys useless. You can also switch to a keypad or smart lock so you control codes from a distance.
Can you make a car key if I lost mine on the ski hill?
Often, yes. We can usually cut and program a new key at your vehicle, even if no key is left. Have the year, make and model and proof of ownership ready.
