A Locksmith would say 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 sentry safe open.

I CANT OPEN MY SENTRY FIRE-SAFE MODEL:DS3431 SAFE. I KEEP TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY SAY DO TURN DIAL TO ZERO, TURN KEY ETC; NUTHING IS WORKING. CAN U HELP?

Make sure that the key barrel is all the way out. Then replace this example code with your factory code and try it
Example combination: 70-55-05

  1. Do two rotations to the left stopping at 0.

  1. Do two rotations to the left (Anti-clockwise) on the third time past 0 go to your first number.

So – 0 to 0, 0 to 0, 0 to 70

  1. Do one rotation to the right (clockwise) on the second time round stop at your second number.

So – 70 to 70, 70 to 55

  1. Turn directly from your second number to your third number heading to the left.
So – 55 to 05

  1. Push down the handle.
