Sentry R3786 combo change?
Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2021 8:44 pm
Hi. I'm new here. I have an old Sentry, about 1 cubic foot capacity, stamped R3786 upside down on the lower front face. I have the combination and have it open. 3 numbers. I want to change the combination. Where can I go to learn how to do this?
I am not quite all thumbs and familiar with most tools [righty-tighty-lefty-loosey etc.]
It is too old for the Sentry Co. to have any information about this safe, so presently I know nothing about it.
I have the cover off the inside of the door and see a simple latch that slides into a slot in 3 stacked wheels retained by a captive type nut. The topmost or closest wheel has 12 holes with a screw in one of them.
I cannot see what is going on below this wheel and don't want to mess up and make this safe become scrap iron. Lin.
