What to do if I forgot my combination or lost my keys?

Contact SentrySafe customer service via www.sentrysafe.com. You will need the safe's serial number (located next to the door hinge). They can provide a replacement combination or keys.

How to replace the batteries?

When the yellow light turns on, replace the batteries. Open the door, remove the screw on the lock housing if present, turn the housing to the 2 o'clock position, remove it, replace the 4 AAA (or AA depending on model) batteries with new ones, put the housing back at 12 o'clock. Codes are not erased during replacement.

The safe does not open despite the correct code, what to do?

Check that the handle is fully turned UP to the horizontal position before entering the code. Ensure batteries are in good condition. If equipped with a key lock, insert the key and turn it to unlock the cylinder. If the problem persists, wait for the delay mode (2 minutes) to end after three incorrect codes. Contact customer service if needed.

Can I secure the safe to the floor?

Yes, an optional bolting kit may be included. Turn the safe on its right side (hinges horizontal). Open the door, drill 7/16 inch (11 mm) holes in the recesses under the safe. Mark the floor, drill holes (wood: 9/32 inch, 64 mm deep; masonry: 3/8 inch, with anchors). Fasten with provided lag bolts and washers.

Which items should not be stored in this safe?

Do not store jewelry, as interior temperature can reach 350°F (177°C) in a fire, which would damage jewelry. Do not place hard drives, CDs, DVDs, audio/video cassettes, or photo negatives, as the safe is not designed to protect data media. Use specific SentrySafe Fire-Safe products.

How to interpret the light signals?

Red LED + three beeps: error (wrong sequence, invalid code, or 5-second timeout). Green LED: valid code, you have 4 seconds to open. Yellow LED: low battery, replace them. After three invalid codes, delay mode activates (red LED steady for 2 minutes).

How to open the safe with the combination lock?

Ensure the handle is in the horizontal position. Insert the key if necessary and turn. Set the dial to zero. For a 3-digit combination: turn the dial left passing zero three times, stop on the first number. Turn right passing the second number twice, stop. Turn left passing the third number once, stop. For 4 digits: pass zero four times, then follow a similar sequence indicated in the manual.
