Sentry Combo + Key (V330) lost combo
I have had this safe for years and since it has a dial combo and a key, i got lazy over time and would just lock it with the key, shift the dial a hair so it would lock.
Then when i wanted to open, just put pressure on the key and turn left and right a little until it opened.
My son bumped the dial today and i cannot find the pamphlet that had the sticker with the code on it.
I tried putting pressure on the key and turning the dial and it stops on 3 numbers, 42, 72, 2. Now i am pretty darn sure that the last number of the combo was 42 because that is right around where i had the dial set when it was working. I also did some digging online and read this safe has 2 "false gates" which i am guessing is the numbers where the dial locked up when i put pressure on the key.
I tried setting the first number and then doing this trick spinning it the other way for the 2nd and 3rd numbers, but it keeps locking up on all the same numbers.
Is there a process of elimination i can do to figure it out? This is a crappy walmart safe i bought in college years ago, nothing high tech security wise.
Sentry wants 30$ and 7-10 days to send me the code so trying to figure out if i have any other options. Can't cut it open since it has paperwork and live ammo inside.
