Combination lock instructions
Your new Sentry
®
Gun Safe is equipped with a combination or electronic lock. Instructions for operation of each type of
lock appear on the following pages.
The combination for this safe has been randomly selected and appears on the back cover of this manual. It is important
that you keep this Owner's Manual in a secure place other than IN your safe; it is your reference for both the safe's
combination and Serial Number. Compare the Serial Number on the back cover with the number found on the lower right
side of the safe. If the numbers do not match, do not attempt to operate the combination and contact Sentry.

Accurate alignment of the lock with the opening index
(the vertical line at the top-center of the dial) is essential
for successfully operating your combination. Dial your
combination slowly and carefully to avoid passing the
desired numbers. Should you dial past the correct number,
the entire combination will need to be re-entered. To avoid
damaging the lock mechanism, never spin the dial back
and forth rapidly.
COMBINATION:
1. Start with dial on ZERO.
2. Turn the dial to the LEFT (counterclockwise).
Pass the first number of the combination three
times. Stop on the first number of the
combination the fourth time.
3. Change the direction you are dialing. Going
RIGHT (clockwise), pass the second number
of the combination two times and stop on
the second number the third time.
4. Change directions again. Turning LEFT
(counterclockwise), pass the third number of
the combination once and then continue around
in the same direction, stop on the third
number of the combination.
5. Change directions again, turning RIGHT
until the dial stops completely and
will not move.
6. Turn safe handle upward, to the left (clockwise)
and open the door.
To Close and Lock
With the door closed, turn the handle counterclockwise to
secure the locking bolts, then spin the combination dial to
the left at least four times to scramble the combination.
