Changing the combination

I own three safes and change the combinations from time to time. I would like instructions on how to change the 3 number combination for my sentry safe.

It has a number AJ-008359 on the inside. I am currently using it but want to change the combo.

Thanks,

Ken

These sentry safes dial combinations are not built to be changed as they have no key change hole. Switching the order of the tumblers could be done by a trained locksmith. I would suggest buying the electronic sentry safes as these safes can be reprogramed.
