Sentry 1330 - Handle No Longer Opens the Door
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2022 6:50 pm
Hi. I have a Sentry 1330 I bought used, and changed the combination. It has worked great for a couple years, and just recently, last week, I went to open it and the handle goes all the way down like when you have the right combination, but I don't feel it physically moving anything like I did before and the door is stuck tight.
I googled and searched a few places and can find nothing except the very basics of the 1330 of like, L3-R2-L1, and how to narrow the choices if I forget the combination.
But I think something detached on the inside and I really need to get into my own safe. Like I said, I have the combination. The handle won't go all the way down unless the combination is entered correctly. And when I enter it, it just freely moves down and back up but the door does not unlock.
I called the local (State College, PA) key shop that also works on safes, but they said they are severely backed up and it would be quite some time before they could get to me.
Any advice from anyone??
Thanks!
