You must call (800) 828-1438 for combination retreivals.

The following is for informational purposes only:

If you need your combination, you must send a notarized letter stating you are the owner of the safe. (Note: the owner's last name must be different from that of the notary public). For locations that require a raised notary seal, use a pencil to shade the seal to insure that it is visible.

The notarized letter needs to include:

  1. Your name, address and phone number.
  2. The model number and serial number from your safe. The serial number is typically found on the front of the door, lower right corner on a small sticker; the right outside wall of your safe; or under the keypad/dial on the front of safe.
  3. Please indicate how you would like to receive your combination. Options include first class mail, e-mail or fax. Your letter must clearly indicate which method you are choosing to receive your combination, as well as the mailing address, e-mail address, or fax number to which it should be sent. Note that failure to indicate the method in which your combination should be returned to you will result in delays to the process.
  4. Special Circumstances
    • In the event you need to open the safe after the owner is deceased, your notarized letter will also need to include that you are now the owner or executor of the estate and need access to the safe. You must also include a copy of the death certificate.
    • If you hold Power of Attorney for the safe owner and need to access the safe, your notarized letter will also need to include that you are acting on behalf of the safe owner. You will need to include a complete copy of the Power of Attorney documentation to confirm that you have the authorization to act on their behalf in this type of circumstance.

SOURCE: how do you open a sentry 1250 combination safe? I have the number

Locksmiths agree If your safe doesn't have a key, skip Step 3.
Turn the dial to zero.
Insert your sentry safe key and turn it until the plunger pops out.
Turn the dial to the left (counterclockwise) three times to the first number of the combination (pass the first number of your combination two times, stopping on it the third time).
Turn the dial to the right (clockwise) two times to the second number of the combination (pass your second number once, stopping on it the second time).
Turn the dial to the left to the last number (stop the first time on your last number).
Pull the handle down; cracking the Fireproof Sentry Safe open.

SOURCE: know combination, but cannot open sentry safe 1250

If you know the combination:

1) Turn the dial to the left a few complete rounds, then stop on 1st number.
2) Turning the dial to the right, pass up the 2nd number once, then stop on it on the next round.
3) Turn the dial to the left directly to the 3rd number then stop.

The handle should open now.

SOURCE: i have a sentry safe

Hi Juli, if you still have the manual, there is a factory code printed on the beginning page and that code can be used if you forgot your code. The factory code can never be deleted. If you dont have your manual anymore then the only other option is to call the company and they might be able to give you the factory code somehow.

I have a Sentry Safe S0310 and I have my key but forgot the combination I want to close it.

That is the best way. Changing the combination is done from inside the door panel. This is a dial safe, so not quite so easy. Sentry will tell you the original code. Having said that, most people who can't open a combination safe are doing it wrong. It isn't like they show it in the films, one way to number, other way to number, back again to a number and it opens. It is 4 complete revolutions to number, 3 revolutions to number, 2 revolutions to number and 1 part revolution to open the lock bar.

Videos that show.

I can't seem to unlock my safe Sentry 1250.

Locksmiths agree sometimes even with the green light the safe’s batteries are not strong enough to retract the latch. Try replacing them with some new alkaline batteries
