Opening Instructions
IMPORTANT: The lock on this safe is in the open
position. DO NOT operate the combination until
first reading and understanding the following
instructions.
The combination for this safe has been randomly selected and
appears below. It is important that you keep this Owner’s Manual
in a secure place
other than IN your safe
; it is your reference
for both the safe’s combination and Serial Number. Compare the
Serial Number below with the number found on the lower right
side of the safe.
If the numbers do not match, do not
attempt to operate the combination and contact Sentry.
(Phone number below under “Questions?”.)
Lock Test
Test first with door open!
Test your new UL Listed combination lock several times with the
door open. First turn the dial to the right until it stops at 87, then
turn the safe handle clockwise until it stops. Open the door as far
as it will go and turn the safe handle counterclockwise until it
stops and the chrome locking bolts are extended. Carefully follow
the instructions below.
NOTE:
The dial will not turn past zero unless the bolts are in the
locked position with the handle vertical.
Accurate alignment of the lock with the opening index (the
vertical line at the top-center of the dial) is essential for success-
fully operating your combination. Dial your combination slowly and
carefully to avoid passing the desired numbers. Should you dial
past the correct number, the entire combination will need to be
re-entered. To avoid damaging the lock mechanism, never spin the
dial back and forth rapidly.

Placing and securing your safe
To help deter theft
No safe is theft-proof. With the right tools, time and skill, any safe
can be opened. Therefore, for greater security:
✪
Place your safe with the hinge away from the wall and
the door opening next to the wall. This makes it harder
to pry open.
✪
If possible, conceal your safe.
✪
Keep your safe closed and locked when not in use.
✪
You should bolt your safe to the floor, using the materials
provided and the instructions included in this information.
✪
Don’t keep your combination near the safe, and don’t tell
it to others.
✪
Don’t tell other people where you keep your your safe.

safe in place and use the holes provided in the bottom of the
safe to mark the location of the holes to be drilled in the floor.
2.
Move the safe away and drill holes of the appropriate
diameter and depth for the type of hardware being used and
the mounting surface.
3.
Place the safe back over the holes and install the fasteners
as required.
Maintenance
This Sentry safe has been designed to provide years of service —

cated and should require no maintenance. The chrome locking
bolts located on the side of the door may occasionally need
lubrication. With the door in the fully open position, turn the
handle counterclockwise until it stops and the bolts are extended.
Wipe a small amount of grease under each bolt.
