How to Make the Entry Code on a Sentry Safe

All Sentry safes come with either a three or four-digit combination lock that cannot be changed. Some safes also have an electronic lock with a keypad. Only these safes' access codes can be changed. They come with a factory-set code on the safe's user manual. This code is stored on file with Sentry and is unique to your safe and one-of-a-kind serial code. This code can be retrieved if the combination is ever lost or forgotten. Coming up with your own user code can help protect your safe and the valuables stored inside.
