A sentry safe is an ideal solution for homes with very limited storage space. Even if you have just a few square feet of space to spare, you will still benefit from having a safe in your home. A good sentry safe is small and affordable compared to the advantages it will bring to your security and peace of mind. These safes don’t require a key or a combination, so they are not as challenging to open as other locks. However, there are ways to crack open such locks without purchasing any extra equipment or tools. In this article, we explain how you can open one with a key but no combination if other attempts fail.
How to Open a Sentry Safe With a Key but No Combination
Cut the Sentry Safe in Half
This is the most obvious and easy method to open a sentry safe when it’s locked with a key but no combination. You can do this by cutting the door off at its hinges, or you can cut it along its edges. If you choose to cut it along its edges, make sure that the door or lid of your safe is secure. This will prevent the lid from falling off while you are trying to break open your safe.
Pry Off the Lid
In some sentry safes, there are two lids that must be separated in order to access the contents of your safe. The first thing you need to do is pry off one of these lids. This should be done carefully so as not to damage any of the hardware inside your safe or scratch any of its surfaces. Once this lid has been removed, use a flathead screwdriver or other similar tool to pry out all of the screws that secure your second lid and lift it off of your safe’s interior components.
Remove All Hardware
Once both lids have been removed, inspect all hardware that is attached inside your sentry safe for damage and remove them if any appears damaged or worn out in any way. Use pliers if necessary in order to remove broken screws and other related hardware components from within your safe’s interior space, as well as around any openings that may be covered by the lids.
Remove the Lid Inside the Safe
Now that all screws and hardware components have been removed from your safe, you can remove the lid itself. This is done by removing all of the screws that secure this lid to its frame or frame to its door, if it has one. Once this lid has been removed, you will need to inspect all hardware that is attached inside your safe for wear or damage in order to determine if any of these components are damaged in any way. If they are not damaged at all, then they can be reused in order to assemble a new set of lids in order to replace the old ones that have been removed from inside your safe. If any of these components are damaged or worn out in any way, make sure to replace them with new ones before reinstalling your lids so as not to risk damaging them further by reusing them for a second time.
Replace Lid Inside Safe
Inspect all hardware and components attached inside your safe for wear or damage in order to determine if anything needs replacing before reinstalling your kids back into their respective locations within the interior space of your safe. Once you’ve determined which components require replacement, make sure to replace them with new parts before reassembling both lids once again so as not to risk damaging them further when putting them back into place. Once both sets of lids have been placed back into their respective locations within the
Pros of Using Sentry Sense
It’s the perfect size for a home safe.
The Sentry Safe is the perfect size to fit in a home safe or gun cabinet. It is also a good size to store jewelry and other small valuables.
It’s not as bulky as other safes
The Sentry Safe is not as bulky as other safes on the market. The Sentry Safe has dimensions of 13x13x10 inches, which makes it easier to store in smaller spaces.
It’s easy to move around
It’s easy to move around from one place to another and it doesn’t take up much space when storing it away, which makes it easier for those who are having problems with storage space.
It comes with an optional fireproof lock that can be purchased separately for $20
The SentrySafe comes with an optional fireproof lock that can be purchased separately for $20, which makes it more secure and keeps your valuables protected from being stolen by thieves or fire/arson disasters. The lock can also be used in conjunction with your safe if you want extra security when placing your valuables inside the safe during times of need or emergency situations like fires or natural disasters that occur within your home or business premises while you’re at work or on vacation overseas (for example). This lock can also be used if you want more security than what is normally provided by your safe itself, such as when storing high value items such as large amounts of cash, gold and other precious metals, or any other valuables that you may store inside your safe. The lock can also be used to keep unwanted people out of your safe during times when you’re not at home or away in order to prevent theft.
It has a lifetime warranty
The SentrySafe has a lifetime warranty on its parts and labor, which means that if the safe ever breaks down or stops working properly, Sentry will replace it free of charge for as long as you own it and are the original owner of the safe.
Cons of using the Sentry Sense
It has no key
The SentrySafe does not have a key to open the safe. This is a con that most customers dislike because of the inconvenience of having to depend on someone else to open the safe when you need it, especially if you’re out of town and don’t have access to someone who can open your safe for you.
It’s not as secure as other safes
The SentrySafe does not provide you with any extra security measures when storing valuables inside of it, such as an electronic lock or other security measures that would keep thieves from stealing your valuables when they’re inside the safe during times of need or emergency situations like fires or natural disasters that occur within your home or business premises while you’re at work or on vacation overseas (for example). This is a con that many people dislike because they would prefer additional security measures when storing their valuables inside their safes.
It can be noisy
The SentrySafe can be noisy at times when opening and closing its door due to its hinges being made out of metal and making a rattling sound due to the fast opening and closing motion used by those who are trying to get into the safe during times of need or emergency situations like fires or natural disasters that occur within your home or business premises while you’re at work or on vacation overseas (for example). This is another con that most people dislike because they would prefer a quieter safe than one with loud hinges.
Tips Before you Start Opening a Sentry Safe
Be patient and take your time
The SentrySafe is one of the more difficult safes to open because of its size and the fact that it has a lot of moving parts that make it difficult for those who are trying to open it during times of need or emergency situations like fires or natural disasters that occur within your home or business premises while you’re at work or on vacation overseas (for example). Therefore, before you start opening the safe, give yourself enough time to complete the task.
Keep calm and keep focused
The SentrySafe is very heavy compared to other safes, which makes it almost impossible for those who are trying to open it during times of need or emergency situations like fires or natural disasters that occur within your home or business premises while you’re at work or on vacation overseas (for example) to move the safe with ease. Therefore, do not lose patience when trying to open the SentrySafe and keep calm as much as possible in order to move the safe with ease.
Use a backup tool if necessary
If you plan on using a hammer in order to break into your safe because you’re having trouble opening it with a crowbar due to its weight, then use a backup measure such as using a hammer if necessary in order for you to crack into your safe without breaking any parts inside of it. This will ensure that you can get into your safe without damaging any parts inside of it.
