Find out from Safe suppliers etc. where you can provide power to it and what kind of supply you need, and whether this changes the safe-opening procedure once it's powered up. Set it up and do it, open the safe...and probably change the battery.
Then try to remember who needed what backup service....

I changed the battery, but my sentry 1610 is not responding. Look like the whole keypad is dead. Can you please tell me is there a secondary battery for the keypad?

Could be the battery holder is bad. A1 Locksmith Burlingame CA 94010 have Sentry safe locks, keys, battery holders, battery door covers, and door handles. But only a small supply in stock.

New battery on 1610 safe but no green lights and will not open

Battery does not have enough current to actuate the mechanism. I have 2 Sentry 1610's with the same problem. I solved it by removing the battery & using a variable DC Power Supply set to 9 volts, and adjusting the current up until I got a response to my combination on the keypad. This is the only way I can get into or close my safes now.
