How to Open a Lock on a Sentry Safe With No Key

Sentry Safe has been a manufacturer of safes for more than 75 years. The company produces many different types of safes in a variety of sizes and security levels to meet your individual needs. Certain models require a key to be used in conjunction with the combination, while others do not. Opening a Sentry Safe combination lock without a key depends on whether your safe contains a three-digit lock or a four-digit lock.
