I have a sentry 1250 safe which is open but locked how can I get the code to use it?

Safes with dials are a little more complicated. NEVER close the door after changing the combination. Practice the opening sequence with the door open. If you did it wrong, you can reset and try again

Safer to get a locksmith safe technician to rest it for you as if you get it wrong the safe will lock and won't open

dear sir i was given a sentury safe#1250 ,serial #g969560 the safe is open how do i figure out the combination?

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.

Sounds like the the only thing you could do is to drill it. Then look in the hole to line up the tumblers. For more help call a good locksmith.
