How to Open a Digital Sentry Safe

Unlock and open your Sentry safe.

The Sentry Group is a manufacturer of safes for home and business. While many of its safes utilize a mechanical combination lock, some have a digital keypad lock. With the digital keypad, you may enter either the factory code, the user code or a user pin number to gain entry to the safe. Learn the proper method to opening your Sentry safe with a few simple steps.
