Directions for Sentry Safe Combinations

All Sentry fire safes come with either a three or four-digit combination lock. All combinations are preset by Sentry and come printed on the front of the user manual. This factory set combination is unique to your safe and can easily be retrieved by the Sentry Group in case you ever lose or forget the combination. These combinations cannot be changed for this reason. Opening a combination safe is the same regardless of the model you own.
