What this means for locks and safes here
Bench elevation (~3,000+ ft in The Ridges) cools summer extremes 3–5°F vs central Valley but amplifies UV (UV 11+ standard). Custom-finish hardware — polished brass, satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze — must be PVD-coated or solid material to survive the UV without finish failure. We will not specify lacquered brass for any Summerlin South install; the lacquer fails in 2 years.
