I forgot the password to my Elsafe safe box

The fastest thing to do for the portable Sentry Safe 1170 would bring it to bring it to a locksmith and have them pick the lock or fit a key to it.

I can’t open my h060 sentry safe the joy is inside and can’t remember combination

try holding the # and the * key for 5 seconds that should reset the safe and open it up

changed batteries and safe wont open

i forgot my combination to my 15115 sandleford safe how do i open it

There is a lock and there is a latch.
You can latch the safe without locking it and unlocking it does not unlatch it.

After you unlock it, then you must press up on the spring loaded latch while (this important) pressing down on the cover to releast the pressure on the latch hook, allowing it to move out of the way. After the latching hook is out of the way, you can release the pressure on the lid and it will open. You can't see the latch hook as it drops down from the lid, into the front wall of the safe where it engages a post, but perhaps you can imagine what it looks like.

Mine will not unlatch, even though it is unlocked, unless I press down on the lid to give it clearance first. There is quite a bit of spring in the plastic that this safe is constructed out of. It works against you when you try to open it and close it.

I can take digital photos of the mechanism if this description does not help.

Try the factory code shown at the front of your manual. You can find the a user manual on the Sentry website.

Try new batterys ,also sometimes if too full ,you will have to hit it hard to get the stuff off the lock bars that keep them from moving .

I have cracked many codes by just feel and using the lever to feel the drop! The first right turn after three complete revolutions of the dial has one long pause and the rest short! After the long pause is the first in the combination, the left one same thing after one complete revolution, then right again pulling the lever down every drop meticulously. DONE!

Hi I have a Sure Safe electronic key pad safe, i have owned for about 5 years we have moved house and it was placed in storage.
For the life of me i can not remember the code i have tried endless times !! is there a way to get in or do i take it to a professional.

There is no "default code", but they do keep the serial number and code on file, for just this purpose.

Locksmiths agree there might not be a serial# but there is a key # Sentry Safes Keys. Lost your Sentry safe keys. just note your key #(on lock) It's above the keyhole example 3J2, C003B, H,

If ya close and dont have a key or know the combination yer never gunna be able to open it again and you'll be really stuffed.
