Something is stuck is look that is sealed, the key working good the gasket not, we push and make some weird sond
The best way to break the rubber water proof seal is to push down on the left rear corner. That will pop open the front right corner need more help you can get my phone number here

Being a master locksmith we see this problem all the time on the Sentry Safe F3300 What happens is this Sentry Safe has a waterproof seal that sticks the door shut to prevent watter damage. But in doing so makes it seem like it will not open. We suggest pushing down on the left rear corner to pop the front of the lid open

There is a lock and there is a latch.
You can latch the safe without locking it and unlocking it does not unlatch it.
After you unlock it, then you must press up on the spring loaded latch while (this important) pressing down on the cover to releast the pressure on the latch hook, allowing it to move out of the way. After the latching hook is out of the way, you can release the pressure on the lid and it will open. You can't see the latch hook as it drops down from the lid, into the front wall of the safe where it engages a post, but perhaps you can imagine what it looks like.
Mine will not unlatch, even though it is unlocked, unless I press down on the lid to give it clearance first. There is quite a bit of spring in the plastic that this safe is constructed out of. It works against you when you try to open it and close it.
I can take digital photos of the mechanism if this description does not help.

If you know the combination:
1) Turn the dial to the left a few complete rounds, then stop on 1st number.
2) Turning the dial to the right, pass up the 2nd number once, then stop on it on the next round.
3) Turn the dial to the left directly to the 3rd number then stop.
The handle should open now.
