How to Open an Electronic Sentry Safe

Keeping valuables safe and secure in your home requires a safe that's strong, yet accessible. A Sentry safe meets both specifications. It's strong enough to keep your valuables out of the hands of thieves, while an electric and key-based combination keeps your stored items instantly accessible whenever you need them. Opening the safe is a simple matter, as long as you possess both key and combination, with the entire opening process taking about five seconds to complete.
