Fantastic video, I have always steared away from safes. But lately i have been getting more and more interested.

Thanks. Lost the combo to ours years ago. Worked great.

Do you happen know if the schematics are the same for a Sentry 1230? Thanks in advance.

I went with another locksmith on a couple safe jobs. I'm 100% automotive so safes aren't my thing. First was a round door floor safe. I think it was a Star which were fairly popular back in the day. This guy was a bit ruff around the edges but could get anything open just not in a fancy way. lol He starts drilling the concrete a couple inches out from the safe head angled downwards. He pokes a single through the concrete into the safe body tube. He spins the head around until he feels the bolt through the hole and beats the crap out of it with a hammer and punch to push it into the safe head. If it had another bolt he beat that one in also and pulled the head out. lol Not pretty but he got it open.

Hello I have one of these safes 1250, since the last time I put something inside it someone tried to get inside it. Now the dial is in a bind and won't turn. Is there a way I can get the dial to turn some way easily, or will the front come off without getting inside?

Thank you from justme

I have got the Sentry 1235 and the door is on the other side. I have drilled pretty far but still couldnt reach/see the dials yet.

My dial broke off how do I open it then?

Hi there. Looks like I may have to do this :) may I ask how deep the hole needs to be? The outer skin looked quite thick from your video.

(If anyone needs to know: a friend's relative has passed away; friend is about to bin the safe but then wondered if there was anything inside it)

[robertschwoch]

Why didn’t you just manipulate it open?

oh and as for the keeping this "secret" ...bad people do bad things and they will find a way when they want.
