Error light comes on when keying combination code

Model A3750 fireproof safe, always has worked up until tonight. As soon as we put key in, turn to right, button pops out, then when we enter code, error light comes on and blinks as if we have entered the wrong code. Code is correct.

    Thank you for helping me. I though that it might be the batteries, but I forgot how to get to them to change them. After changing them it worked perfect. Now all I need is the papers that came with my safe I have lost them in moving.

SentrySafe A3750 safe. Why doesn't it open with usual code?

Open it with the key. Change the batteries and reset the code. You don't need to even use the key to open them, a rare earth magnet or a bump on the top will open them.

My combination to s3877 works, but key button is pressed by accident and I can't find the keys to unpop it. How do I get it open. Light turns green after inputting the code, but level is unmovable.

You will need to contact customer service (either in the UK or US) for the replacement keys - without the keys you can't get into the safe. The key barrel is a secondary lock and needs to be unlocked before you can use the digital or dial combination.

Key is not working

Nice looking safe. You can download an owner's manual from sentrysafe.com.
Some safes have provisions for supplying power to the combo in event of battery failure.
I don't know how it is supposed to operate with key.
