I can't get my sentry safe open
    #23575347 - 08/25/16 08:47 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I've had a combination sentry safe since the beginning of this summer maybe may or june I bought it. It's been burried all summer so its in rough shape with some rust, lots of scratches and some dents. I moved last week and brought my safe with me, worked the first few days, and now the handle is stuck. I put the code in and the handle turns as it's supposed to for about a half inch, the the handle gets stuck. Once it gets to this point I can turn the handle all the way around 360 degrees. It jumps about an inch or two and can turn either direction either way around. I'm not too worried about getting it open cause I don't have anything in there i need desperately but it would be nice to open it. If anyone has ideas it would be appreciated. This is the safe it was 140$

If you're having trouble understanding what the knob is doing, I can upload pictures or a video

You buried your safe underground? That's some serious paranoia

it was buried above ground really - I put it up against this old wall I found and buried it by putting dirt and rocks over it so it was hidden just not that hidden

It looks like its just a combo safe.

I would look up the manual on the safe from the manufacturer there is a chance there could be a master combo thats gonna work.

If not you can try cutting the damn thing open or drilling out the lock maybe?

if its just a damaged lock because of dirt and shit, then theres a good chance that the only way to get it open would be a locksmith or cutting it open with a grinder, there might not a way to keep the safe usable.

Smash the corner without the hinges into concrete. If that doesnt work get a big ass pry bar and try bending it open/ snapping the lock. If that doesnt work drop it off a big ass building on concrete. I would try crowbar first, then smashing the corner, if u could possibly smash the corner and get the crowbar in further it might work better. Or you could possibly try crowbarring the lock off and figuring out how its jamming, or you could get a diamond saw blade and cut the hinges off which would probably work since its a cheaper safe. Yea if it were me id try crowbar first, then diamond saw blade if you have one, if not smash the fuck out of it.

That's what you get for buying a sentry safe. Cheapest pieces of shit on the market. You can break into it with a 5 minute youtube video.

Take it to the locksmith, have it cut open and buy a real safe.

The briefcase looking sentry fire safes are the easiest to break into. All you do is drop it from about 5 feet on the corner opposite of the hinges and they just pop open like a pinata.

Sentry's are cheap safes.

I used to be locksmith.

  If the handle is stuck, it's unlocking but it's likely the bolt mechanism is rusted/seized.  Besides trying to douse the bolts inside the locked door with lubricant and the handle itself, there isn't much else to do besides cutting the safe open and cutting your losses.

I concur with patial's advice


Except I should add that people should educate themselves on safes.  The word safe is deceiving in itself.  Cheap Sentry safes are fire rated only.  Meaning that their only purpose is to stop things from burning in a house fire.  Usually a 1 hour rating.  They aren't designed to keep people out

There are safes with security ratings and media rated safes are like enhanced fire rated safes.  And there is different classes of all these types of safes

I'm not gonna drop it cause I don't want the bottle of liquor in there to break. I'm also in a dorm so I can't use powertools really I'll just bring it back to town one day and then drill it open - I have  a 3/8" diamond drill bit somewhere so i may try that. I don't care about destroying the safe so anyone with advice on how to forcefully open it or cut it open I'll probably do that.

The problem is the bolts not retracting.

So drilling the lock, for example, will do nothing. 

You can pry the door open with a pry bar

The bolts seem to get stuck at a certain point, I can feel them retract for the first half inch of the handle turning and that's when the handle seems to miss and keeps going around. How can I pry it open if the bolts are still in the locks?

Because I went over this already....

It's a fire rated safe only.  It's not designed to stop forced entry.  With a decent pry bar you can bend the door/bolts enough that you get it to slip past...especially if they are retracting half the way already

But you can try lubing up bolts and handle and see if it will let loose.  You might save your safe that way

Because I was living at home and my mom kept taking all my shit and money @Vriska Serket now I just have it cause my dorm building is known for getting broken into and robbed - @Masked I'll try lubing everything then I'll pry it if not I didn't realize the metal was that weak

What kind of safe we talking?

Money/burglary rated?

Media rated?

Fire rated?

Fire and money rated?


Most people buy safes for an assortment of various reasons and don't trust bank security deposit boxes

I have a fire rated/media rated safe where I keep flash drives full of family pictures and memories.  I would be devastated if I lost all those pics of my kids in a fire.

And other random memorabilia :shrug:

It takes some muscle and a good pry bar, but yeah, they are weak.  Not designed to keep a determined person out

Money rated safes with glass relockers and all that shit are another story

Yeah, I had an apartment burn to the ground last year. Fire safe was still intact. Had some birth certificates, SS Card and a spare car key. Those three things saved me a lot of hassle.
