How to Open a Sentry Safe Without the Combination

Having a personal Sentry safe is a great idea. By keeping your valuables in a Sentry safe, you ensure that they are protected at all times from burglars, which offers some relief and peace of mind. However, if you forget the combination to your safe, you might be inclined to panic. Thankfully, there's a way to get into your Sentry safe and retrieve your items even if you don't have the combination.
