How to Open a Sentry Electronic Safe Model DS3607

A home safe, such as the Model DS3607 Sentry electronic safe, is very important to keep family documents and irreplaceable keepsakes safe if fire should strike. Sometimes we find ourselves locked out of our own safe by accident, but there are solutions to get you back into it.

Instructions

    • 1

      Look for the number combination that can be found in your owner's manual. If you have lost this number, it can be recovered online, by fax or through the mail. Even if you have changed the combination, the factory combination can still open your safe.

      Recover your combination online if you have registered it at the Sentry Safe website by entering your user name and password.

    • 3

      Request your combination through fax or the mail if you have not registered your combination on the Sentry Safe website. You must mail or fax a notarized letter requesting the combination and stating you are the owner of the safe for which you need the combination. This letter must include your name, phone number and address. Also include the serial number and model number of the safe. If you send this by mail, then include a $20 check made out to Sentry Group. When faxing this letter you do not need to send payment. You will be contacted by Sentry and can make payment arrangements.
