How to Open a Sentry 1330 Dial-Type Safe

Since 1932, Sentry has designed and manufactured a wide range of fire-resistant safes. The Sentry 1330 is a floor fire safe designed to bolt securely to wood or masonry floors or offer portability with an optional wheel kit. Opening your Sentry 1330 safe isn't difficult. The 1330 has a simple three-digit combination lock that opens with the turn of a dial. As long as you have your safe's combination, you can use the dial to open it.
