Thank you so much!!! We've been trying to open ours for an hour and you helped us get it first try.

Took your advice on my military safe and sure enough it works r-l-r or l-r-l with the same combo.

Great Video..
-
My Sentry 1230 -which looks a lot like your safe- is open, but I do not know the combo..
-
What are my options? Do I need a change key while I access the back of the lock inside the safe?

Thanks for sharing what you know..

I have my step dads safe its about 6 ft tall maybe 3 ft wide or so. Its dark green and says sentry on the front. He just died a
Today well yesterday and we are all trying to see if he has a will somewhere. Will that code work for his?? The dial is on top and there is a knob on the bottom about 6-8 inches under the combonation lock

For anyone asking if you need a key as well with the combo. Yes you need the key and the combo. Cannot unlock without both

The sentry 1250 user manual says you start out with counter clockwise turns. I have a safe I've had for 23 years that I haven't opened a lot in the past 10 years so I'm having trouble remembering the number. I think if I knew the direction id be better off.

The metal bars to lock the door will not retract? I can't close the door? Is this safe broken? Thank you!

[shykes]

I have the exact same safe and I know the combo and still can’t open it idk what’s wrong

I have a Sentry fireproof safe that is unlocked but I do not have the combination I removed the metal plate on the inside of the door and it shows the three wheels I wanted to know if there is a way that I can determine the combination bye manipulating the wheels and recording the numbers when it lines up with the lock bar? You have three wheels one closest to the door one closest to the inside of the safe when the door is closed which one of those dials is the last number since it is unlocked I know that is a five.

Hello, I just purchased e sentry safe from a private sale and accidentally moved the dial knob to many times and won't open any more the combination got stuck inside the safe, any ideas except taking it to a locksmith

Hi, I work at a golf course, and we found a Sentry 125 in what used to be the Proshop but is now the cart shack. Unfortunately we cannot open it, the only person who had the combo passed away 6 years ago, and now that we know it is down in the other building we are interested in using it in our new proshop, is there anyway to recover the combo and reuse the safe? Or is it just a wash?

I have a sentry safe box s3310.
I forgot the code. I can’t unlock the code is there a way to recommend or unlock for me?

This lock dials exactly the same as the combination lock most people had on their locker in high school; which is also the same way you dial masterlock combination padlocks.

I bought the same Sentry S0130 safe with key, but combo not working, how can I reset or get the combo!?

[larryschmidt]

I bought one at an estate sale, door is open and they didn't have the combination. How can I figure out the combo?

[brandyziemann]

I have a Sentry 1250.. I have the combo.. and it just won't open. It's older and my uncle needs to get his trailer title out of it. Any suggestions? I tried holding the door in, pulling on the combo wheel as I turned it... nothing.
