You can either use a small screwdriver and the nail file, as you did with the two paper clips, or the nail file may do the job on its own. Place the tip of the nail file into the lock. Wiggle the file and attempt to rotate the lock clockwise. Continue trying this motion until it starts to give.

Why is the Sentry Key not working on my Sentry Safe?

What’s the best way to open a Sentry Safe?

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO REMOVE THE BACK PANEL WITHOUT BREAKING ANYTHING. TAKE YOUR TIME AND USE A BUTTER KNIFE TO PRY THE DOOR OPEN OR A FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER. I USED A BUTTER KNIFE.
