Sentry Safe Help needed

[gunnut38]

Does anyone have a Sentry safe that looks like this? I need a manual with instructions to reset the combination. I have tried YouTubes for similar locks but they don't work. I have the safe open . I just need to reprogram a new code.

Don't want to assume you haven't already gone this route but, just in case, here's their manual download section if you have the model number. Good luck

Is there a little red push switch located inside near the upper door jamb hinge area?

 

[gunnut38]

Yes there is a red button there. Thank you moderator for moving my post.

My generic AP111 safe lock works as follows:

1st user code change.

Press the reset button inside the door jamb.
The lock will beep twice and a yellow led light will turn on the keypad.
Enter your new code (1-8 digits). then press the ( * ) button
Test the lock several times before closing door.

Changing the 2nd user code:

Enter 00 on the keypad, then press the reset button.
The lock will beep twice and the yellow led will turn on.
Enter the new code (1-8 digits), then press the ( * ) button.
Test before closing.

Forgot to mention this.
When I enter my code, I punch in 4 digits and then the # key to unlock it.

 

[gunnut38]

I will give that a try. I think the # is what I am missing. It acted like it accepted my code change. But then nothing happens. But I am unfamiliar with safe operations .

 

[jbett98]

You only press the * button when reprogramming the keypad and then the # button after you enter your new secrete code numbers when you're opening the safe

When I go to that Sentry web sight, it does not recognize my model number. And my key pad does not have a pound key or star key. I am pretty sure I have been able to program a new, code, I don' y know how the lock is supposed to work.

What are the bottom buttons next to the zero?

What are the bottom buttons next to the zero?

Says "Clear" and "Prog". I happen to have this same box/key pad. My handle is different though.

sorry if this is a dumb question, but does it have fresh batteries?

 

[Certaindeaf]

This is why a revolver is always the correct answer.

No. That's a GOOD question. Looking and fiddling with mine, I don't know how it comes apart? I'd have to go digging and hope I could find the paperwork.
I'll be back.......

All the more reason, I am done with digital safe locks.

I have two rifle safes in my control that I must now use the key instead of the keypad to unlock the safe.

I am on the third keypad for one of them and it still doesn't work, and on the other, less than a year old, it just started beeping and will no longer operate, in spite of the corrective measures suggested.

Can't believe this seemed to work! I think I'm ready for surgery now!

Exactly why I converted my safe to a three combination dial lock

 

[bionic knees]

I won't own a digital lock safe. my 4-digit dial lock has never given me any problems in nearly 35 years.

Thank you Mikej that may save the day. I read this

 

[gunnut38]

Mikej, Yours has a # and *. But I will try this and change out the batteries.
