What can I try if a SentrySafe combination is forgotten?
Answer
Use SentrySafe’s official lost-combination process with the safe’s model and serial information. Avoid forcing or drilling the safe yourself unless a locksmith or the manufacturer directs that path.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Drilling or prying a safe can destroy the lock and damage what is inside.
- Third-party sites that promise instant combinations for a fee are often scams.
