About Timchak Safe & Lock

About the Owner, Gary Timchak

I started my locksmithing career in 1997 in North Pole, Alaska. In 1999, I moved back to Pittsburgh, PA, and worked for Safemasters as their lead safe and vault technician until 2003. Shortly after leaving Safemasters in 2003, I joined the team at Robert Morris University as their lead locksmith and stayed there until 2021.

While I enjoyed working for other companies, I always wanted to have my own business, so I established Timchak Safe & Lock, LLC in 2003. It wasn’t my full-time focus until May 2021, but becoming my own boss was the right choice, and I’m very proud that the people of Pittsburgh, PA, and the surrounding metro region can count on us to provide them with a wide range of locksmith services.

Timchak Safe & Lock is a veteran-owned and family-operated business offering safe, automotive, residential, commercial, and commercial/industrial locksmith services. We specialize in safe and vault openings, as well as safe sales, repairs, and moving/relocation. Automotive and motorcycle customers can count on us to cut/duplicate and program high-security keys, fobs, remotes, and other chipped keys. We also provide a range of access control and security services for residential and commercial clients.

This company, and well thereforth the company owner is BEYONDDD amazinng. I have struggled getting a copy key from everyone at a good cost, hell even my landlord wasn’thelpful. THIS COMPANY SAVED MY DAY, and made my holiday. Without knowing, finances are always hard! Let alone around this season. He was beyond welcoming, and beyond warm hearted! I would absolutely suggest him to everyone. My key worked perfectly and he did it out of the kindness of his heart; not knowing my situation by any means. Honestly made me tear up, it’s good to know their is still kind souls today! You guys made my day, and for that thank you thank you thank you.

Mr. Timchak and his team member were absolutely wonderful! They were able to fit us in their schedule the same day that I contacted him and they had the job done in less than 3 hours for a whole house change. Very reasonable prices! Excellent communication!

The go-to place for car fob related problems. I lost a key fob, and they were able to replace it fast and for much less than the dealer. Also, have a method if both fobs are lost. Definitely recommended!
