If you’ve ever misplaced or lost the key to a Sentry Safe, don’t worry – you can still open it without the key by lock picking. Lock picking is much easier to do than you might think; all you need is a few special tools and a little patience. This article will walk you through the process of how to pick a Sentry Safe lock.

What You’ll Need:

  • A tension wrench

  • A lock pick set

  • Pencil or marker

  • Patience!

Step 1: Insert the Tension Wrench

The first step in lock picking a Sentry Safe is to insert the tension wrench into the bottom of the keyhole. Make sure the tension wrench is firmly inserted all the way in, so that it has a solid grip on the plug of the lock. Turn the wrench clockwise to put tension on the plug – this is essential in lock picking.

Step 2: Feel for the Pins

Once the tension wrench is in place, it’s time to start feeling for the pins inside the lock. Insert your lock pick into the keyhole and start feeling for the pins. As you feel each pin, make a mark with the pencil or marker on the lock pick so that you can easily identify them later.

Step 3: Move the Pins Upwards

Now that you’ve identified the pins, it’s time to move them up so that you can unlock the safe. Insert your lock pick back into the keyhole and carefully push each of the pins up. Try to keep the same amount of pressure on each pin as you push them up. Be careful not to push them up too quickly or too hard; this could break the pins.

Step 4: Turn the Tension Wrench

Once you’ve pushed all the pins up, it’s time to turn the tension wrench clockwise again to unlock the safe. Be sure to turn the wrench slowly and steadily to avoid jamming the pins and risking breaking them.

Step 5: Open the Safe

Assuming you did all the steps correctly, the last step is to open the safe. Slowly turn the dial on the safe to the right until you hear a click. Then, pull the handle to open the safe. Congratulations – you’ve just picked a Sentry Safe lock!

With a few special tools, patience, and a bit of practice, you can easily learn how to pick a Sentry Safe lock. Just remember to take it slow and follow the steps outlined above – and you’ll have no problem unlocking your safe.
