@@jasonmeaty8036 That's why you _always_ have to anchor down a safe like that one. Attach it to something in a way that can't be undone easily and to something that can't be destroyed easily. Just putting a safe of this size into your closet without anchoring it down doesn't really do any good.
Sentry Safe here, we’d like to let you all know that we’ve addressed this security issue. We’ve replaced the sponge with some sugar free double mint gum instead. Rest assured your security is our number one priority.
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

So the lock in my safe was jammed up and the key would not turn it. This video saved me hundreds of dollars from a locksmith and helped me get into my safe in less than a minute! HUGE THANK YOU LPL!! Kinda scary how easy it was to get into!
I just did this as well. It definitely wasn’t as easy as he made it sound. Mostly because he had the benefit of making his tool the exact right length.
You can't even call this picking though. Hell this is a no skill bypass. The worst part, though, is that the company who made that is probably not at all shameful of the low quality of their product..
Just had to do this, brother in law passed away and my SIL could not get in and was panicking. Took me about 10 minutes to get the wire just right and catch the lever. Thanks for the assist! Helped a widow lose some stress.
I had one of these at work, batteries died, and we couldn't find a key. Sat for over a year untouched... I used this technique and was finally able to get the damn thing open. Thank you very much.
I was wondering, what is a "sponge"? Thinking it was fancy lock/safe nomenclature for a part. Nope... Crappy sponge. I mean gaffer tape would have held it tighter.
I've watched enough retro-tech videos where deformed or disintegrated foam bits are replaced to know he meant it literally. This is a cheaply designed electronic gadget pretending to be a security device, after all…
Could easily tack-weld a little angle iron shield in front of the solenoid and bolt to prevent that. Not saying you should have to, just that you could. Just what I want to do with my brand new security device: open up the door and fire up the MIG.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall of sentry safes conference room after they see this video. Cause someone's getting fired over that blatant disregard for anything even resembling security
So my batteries went dead in this exact safe- could not find the keys anywhere. I called the company and they no longer make those keys, advised “go to locksmith”. 20min after watching this video I was in. Absolutely amazed and sooo thankful. Time for a new safe!!
I have a Secustar. I've spent 2 hours trying to get into it. Bought a giant earth magnet that I now can't get off of the side of it. Bent I can't tell you how many wires. Even got the front panel off but can't get the key lock off. Have a set of those pin things. My Grandmother left her pearls to me, I put the keys INSIDE the safe, cause you know batteries last forever. Now I can't for the life of me get to Grandma's pearls. Tomorrow I drop the thing off of the roof cause tapping the side didn't open it either lol.
This video just saved me. My hotel safe lock tumbler fell apart and no batteries in it. Passport and all my cash inside. This totally worked, thank you so much!
This morning a man walked into a Home Depot, one thing led to another, and now 1.14 million people are clowning on a Safe company for their use of sponges
Having a decent amount of experience in a related field , I am well aware that NO lock will prevent a well-armed / well-determined thief or robber from getting into almost ANY lock. BUT - after watching several of your videos - what I do find alarming is the EMBARRASSING EASE so many of these locks / keys / safes can be defeated - YIKES !!
As always, it's just a matter of $$$.... the companies will make things as cheap as they can, and price them as high as they can get away with. It takes a lot of research and a willingness to spend an arm and a leg to get a good quality safe. And in reality, I think it's kind of always been this way.
As a professional bank robbery lockpicker, my friend can confirm this. He says that the first step is getting into a bank computer, spreading a specual virus so that we can manually control when what is active/not active. After that, we map out all cameras and doors. Meanwhile, we also find where the alarm is and shut it down before moving on. After that, my friend has to go near the bank, wait for the pc virus and alarm to shut stuff down, then he goes in (it's generally at night and not via the main enterance.) He then proceeds to pick the doors (with both standard and special tools) and then they can take a part of the money, quickly but silently get away and there won't even be camera footage left. Clean, fast, stealthy.
@@u6uggg6hguiuggy Ok but how are you getting to the "bank computer" without being caught on tape? Even once the cameras are off they can still see past footage. It's not like banks are empty either, they're not gonna just let you walk into personal restricted areas.
I've never picked a lock in my life, but every episode on this channel gives me immense satisfaction. I wonder how many lock/safe/etc. companies just face palm when LPL owns them for everyone to see. Of course, they may also see it as free product testing.

Used this video to gain access to a SentrySafe in my office when the batteries died and the keys were lost! Thanks LockPickingLawyer, you saved my company a big headache.
The locks usually have a letter or number on them to identify the key needed to open it. Just write the safe company a letter that you lost your key with the identifying number/letter and they will send you the key. Collect all of them and have all they keys for that model and probably most other safes they sell too.
I am the most amateur of all amateurs and I did this in under 5 minutes! I’ve had the safe for years and attempted the break into it several times and this blew my mind. Bravo!!!
This worked perfectly! My young son has one of these safes - to save his treasures and birthday loot from Grandparents etc., but he locked the keys and the code inside many years ago. So it was a bit of a time capsule. He’s so happy to have all his gift cards and saved up birthday money again. Thanks for sharing this.
@@mindlessreader1595 I agree, but I live in the UK where they may or may not have an expiry date. And if the company goes bankrupt you are just another creditor owed money.
@@NereidAlbel nah they know. It's the managers who told the people who designed these locks to make it cheaper because they wanted to see better profits and assumed nobody would find out.
Rather than buying a new one, they could solder a wall to block access from the hole to the solenoid and just keep it. Thieves will be pissed when their trick doesn’t work.
Dont be deceived by these videos; this guy works his way backwards; he first opens the safe by the standar method (keypad password) then dissasembles the inner box to discover the flaw; in this case the flaw he shows is easily fixed by putting some strong metal block wall in the path from the led holes to the solenoid; but even if you gave him this safe and ask him (without knowing in advance the inner mechanism) he wont be able to open as easily as showed (there's no way he can come up with that specific hanger bent in that specific way if he doesnt know EXACTLY how the safe works, which of course he knows by first opening it off-camera)
@@alerey4363You are correct. Lock bypass cannot be done with knowlege of how the lock works. What are you trying to say? Locks cannot be bypassed without knowing how they work. There is no deception here at all. This is how any locksmith or criminal learns how to do this. As a Locksmith (50 years) I think these videos are great because it helps me to sell a better product. Do not buy cheap locks! Talk to your local Locksmith. Be safe & secure everyone. -30-
I actually own this safe. It’s just good enough to keep things out of access for my little kids. That’s it. I have zero illusions about it being secure against anyone with a brain or any strength. And if they didn’t want to take the time to open it in my house they’d simply pull up on it ripping the thin metal the screws are in to hold it down then open it whenever they wish. But it does well for keeping ammunition in small amounts and prescription medications out of access for my 7 year old daughter.
Try this, you’ll be very upset about it, turn your dial like youre trying to open it, just has to be at the point it stops moving, then with your open hand, smack the top of the safe while turning the dial at the same time, the safe will pop open, a common smack’s shockwave allows you to turn the dial and open these little safes..
That's the way things are for us now that our leaders have allowed China to have a freebee ride into easy-money-by-proxy. Our products that were made in USA decades ago are still around and most of those things like nail-clippers, scissors, can openers, etc still work today. China durable goods aren't durable at all.
"SentrySafe produces and distributes fire-resistant chests, files, safes and security storage containers to more than 54 countries worldwide. An affiliate of the Master Lock Company ..." "Nuff said."
After a few frustrating days and a few bent coathangers later, it does work. Just got to find that sweet spot. Alas, the only thing inside rattling around was the bag of mounting bolts and the little teardrop-shaped keyhole cover. No treasure.😪 After watching your videos, Master locks and Sentry safes are off my list. Thanks for all of your info,
What are you guys talking about? I fucken buy them all the time to this day, I actually have one extended in my garage cus my lady has locked her keys in the car more than once in a week and that's my go to, I live in California and they sell them everywhere, I believe the swap meet has 5 for one dollar, target has them also but fuck them
With any of these electronic safes that rely on a solenoid, a strong magnet or bouncing the box works great. Kinetic energy pulling that solenoid open gives you a gap to open it same way bumping a lock works.
Double sided tape might be more secure, because the lights wouldn't as obviously give way. Also, they could avoid this kind of attack by having the lights protected with a thin plastic cover. A criminal could break the cover to perform this same attack, but it would be just a little harder to do.
I legit thought he was joking until he took the sponge out. I wonder if this was intended to have a larger mechanism/board, and they just re-used the shell? Because that sponge fills out quite a lot of empty space.
Only in the way that he steals from people by selling them crappy safes, while giving a rats ass when someone is losing his valuables because he trusted this piece of garbage. In fact, asking a real thief how to design a safe would make a lot more sense to me than trusting someone who just wants to make some quick money.
You are the man! lost my keys and batteries died. I'm moving and i had bolted the safe down and couldn't remove it without getting inside to the nuts. Got in if 5 seconds!!!! Thank you!!
One of my friends bought a safe. He bolted it down to the shelf. The shelf was easy to remove so when the robber came he took the safe together with the shelf.
You know, when it comes to these videos, I’m not even surprised anymore, but each time one pops up on my notifications, I’m absolutely thrilled.. sadly he picks them before my popcorn is even microwaved..
Although it causes you to miss out on your popcorn, I just love the fact that so many of the videos are just three minutes, and that I've never seen a LPL video fluffed up to 10 minutes, like most every other channel.
welp you saved my butt today, I'm a manager and switched the code on one of these bad boys today, made sure the code worked before I shut it... but forgot to shut the battery door.. 😂 safe locked, key inside and no power to the keypad because the batteries popped out - an hour and a half later and I was in! Thank you LPL!
Isn’t it amazing that so many of us are entertained and even addicted to videos from the Lock Picking Lawyer. One of the most interesting channels on CZcams. As an engineer one thing that consistently bothers me is so many issues are the result of bad engineering, certainly driven by cheap management.
Liked his videos because there's no loud intro useless lengthy music all that stuffs. All straight to the point, informative video from a knowledgable person who had something to share.
It's business. The purpose of any business is to make a profit. Everything else is secondary. We've become so jaded to it that we rarely hold companies accountable for their failures. Well, at least now I know not to buy a safe from this company, so that's one person they won't be fooling.
@@johndododoe1411 Hotel "safe" are of very varied quality. One hotel I have been a guest of had a "master code" of 1 2 3 4 5 6... so... well... even if I set my own personal code; the 1 2 3 4 5 6 code also opened the safe. So far in my frequent travels though, I have not been subject to theft that I am aware of.
@@Paxmax As far as hotels are concerned, you'd probably want to look at the layers of security, and who has access to each. See what the room locks look like, the safe itself, any other security features in the common areas (sensors, cameras, night guard, etc). You'd also want to be discreet before checking in. Don't do anything to stand out, like wear expensive jewelry or designer clothes. Lastly, make sure to secure your belongings before you leave the room. I'm pretty sure that most hotels thefts are done by the maintenance or housekeeping staff.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! We have this safe and couldn't get in because the keypad battery died and we lost the key. I have zero lock picking experience and was able to pick the lock on this safe following this video. Took me about 10 minutes!!
@@TwistedMe13 if they could pick up my safe as easily as that they deserve the contents..... It took four workers to leave it at the foot of my stairs.
"The circuit board is secured in place with a sponge..." Wait, what did you just say? A sponge? "High security sponge..." Phew. I thought they might have cheaper out and gone for a regular sponge, but I am now relieved, because high security sponges are known for their LPL proofness
I actually tried to return a safety wire for a computer i could "pick" by shoving a bent paperclip in. they said that once it's out of the package it's no longer their problem.
There is a MUCH easier way to open this type of safe as long as it is not bolted down. Because it relies on a solenoid that has a VERY weak spring to engage the locking bar All you have to do is give the safe a quick shake downward and quickly up and it causes the solenoid to retract momentarily and you can open the safe! No tools required. That being said, LOVE THE CHANNEL 😊😊😊😀😊😀😊😀😊😀
The CEO's probably regretting the cost cutting exercise they implemented a year ago where they removed a metal cover and two PCB supports. Now he'll probably blame the engineers who never wanted to do it anyway.

I am the most amateur of all amateurs and I did this in under 5 minutes! I’ve had the safe for years and attempted the break into it several times and this blew my mind. Bravo!!!
This worked perfectly! My young son has one of these safes - to save his treasures and birthday loot from Grandparents etc., but he locked the keys and the code inside many years ago. So it was a bit of a time capsule. He’s so happy to have all his gift cards and saved up birthday money again. Thanks for sharing this.
I guess that he will find those gift cards expired by now.
@@RonSeymour1 Gift cards can't expire in Canada
@@QuadTAZ Most do have an expiry, here in the UK. Not only that but if the company goes bankrupt then you lose the money on them.
@@RonSeymour1 Gift cards don’t expire in lots of places. For example, its illegal for gift cards to expire in california
@@mindlessreader1595 I agree, but I live in the UK where they may or may not have an expiry date. And if the company goes bankrupt you are just another creditor owed money.
I always imagine the downvotes for his videos are people who use these locks and realise they have to buy new ones
Nah, they're the people who designed the locks
@@NereidAlbel nah they know. It's the managers who told the people who designed these locks to make it cheaper because they wanted to see better profits and assumed nobody would find out.
@phillip stafford-dafoe Well, I learned that I should probably spend a few more bucks on a lock if I want one that actually does the job.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo I guess if I ever have enough cash I need to hide I will just use the most inconspicuous books
Rather than buying a new one, they could solder a wall to block access from the hole to the solenoid and just keep it. Thieves will be pissed when their trick doesn’t work.
Thank you so much, after so many videos and tries my husband got to opened our safe. Regards
Well you see, this is actually the type of safe that's perfect to store anything you'll never need again. Like the keys to this safe.
My front door was locked so i played "This is the lock picking lawyer". The door unlocked itself.
On more secure doors you have to play thr parts where he says "binding on 1..."
"1 is loose, 2 is binding, 3 is..." Booyah guess who?
@@Kounnah I'm sorry to tell u this but if the door have a high security sponge no amount of lpl videos will open that door
I seriously LOLed. 😂
I literally spat out my coffee on this one 😂

@@robbespel8393 bruh you can't even spell
@@owenfranklin814 lol you think i can't see you edited that comment mister soell?
Dont be deceived by these videos; this guy works his way backwards; he first opens the safe by the standar method (keypad password) then dissasembles the inner box to discover the flaw; in this case the flaw he shows is easily fixed by putting some strong metal block wall in the path from the led holes to the solenoid; but even if you gave him this safe and ask him (without knowing in advance the inner mechanism) he wont be able to open as easily as showed (there's no way he can come up with that specific hanger bent in that specific way if he doesnt know EXACTLY how the safe works, which of course he knows by first opening it off-camera)
@@alerey4363You are correct. Lock bypass cannot be done with knowlege of how the lock works. What are you trying to say? Locks cannot be bypassed without knowing how they work. There is no deception here at all. This is how any locksmith or criminal learns how to do this. As a Locksmith (50 years) I think these videos are great because it helps me to sell a better product. Do not buy cheap locks! Talk to your local Locksmith. Be safe & secure everyone. -30-
Locked my keys in my safe today (don’t ask how) and got them out in under 5 minutes thanks to this video. Now I’m going to buy a new safe.
I actually own this safe. It’s just good enough to keep things out of access for my little kids. That’s it. I have zero illusions about it being secure against anyone with a brain or any strength. And if they didn’t want to take the time to open it in my house they’d simply pull up on it ripping the thin metal the screws are in to hold it down then open it whenever they wish. But it does well for keeping ammunition in small amounts and prescription medications out of access for my 7 year old daughter.
Keep your kids away from his channel then XD
Try this, you’ll be very upset about it, turn your dial like youre trying to open it, just has to be at the point it stops moving, then with your open hand, smack the top of the safe while turning the dial at the same time, the safe will pop open, a common smack’s shockwave allows you to turn the dial and open these little safes..
Where do you live?
@@rainierbettonviel5989 why does that matter for any of the above comments?
I pick mine with pair of toe nail clippers lost my keys
LPL at Home Depot customer service: I’d like to return this safe it only took me 10 seconds to open
Customer service: Well I understand, with the keys it shouldn't take that long.
LPL: No, no, no. With a coat hanger.
Customer service:○_○
@@ttilatv3502 costumer service? Is home Depot a Halloween store now?
@@startedtech Sorry, why?
@@startedtech yes, apparently it is. They sold a mailbox disguised as a safe. :-)
@@startedtech Haha. Funny.
They can't even be bothered to mount the circuit board. That's the ultimate in cheap junk.
That's being competitive as a business. Always finding ways to make your crap cheaper than that of the competitor.
@@QoraxAudio it's amazing what some people take pride in
Opened mine today with a flathead and a vice grip.
@@QoraxAudio Safes are very heavy and the cost of shipping is ultimately what keeps these thing with low production value.
That's the way things are for us now that our leaders have allowed China to have a freebee ride into easy-money-by-proxy. Our products that were made in USA decades ago are still around and most of those things like nail-clippers, scissors, can openers, etc still work today. China durable goods aren't durable at all.
Thank you! This helped me get my safe open! Previous owners of the house didn't leave a key and the batteries died. Now to get a better safe!
I know this video is three years old but, IT WORKS!!! Thank you sir, I now my passport back again.
See, this is the very reason I keep all my clothes in a pile on the floor rather than buy a rack with coat hangers. It's safety first in my home.
You get plastic coat hangers :p
As a bonus, you can hide your valuables under the pile of clothes.
@@johnwinebrenner4618 It would certainly be safer and cheaper than putting it in this useless box
Ah the old floordrobe. I remember my batchelor years fondly
No coat hangers means no spare key to your safe.
"SentrySafe produces and distributes fire-resistant chests, files, safes and security storage containers to more than 54 countries worldwide. An affiliate of the Master Lock Company ..."
"Nuff said."
Masterlooooooock! *shakes fist*
“Well there’s ya problem”
Also, how fire-resistant can it be. If you put a fuel source behind a flame ingress point.
When Masterlock don't even release these products under their own name... You know they're bad lol
@@Aimless6 fire-resistant chest mean that the box will not burn, not the insides
After a few frustrating days and a few bent coathangers later, it does work. Just got to find that sweet spot. Alas, the only thing inside rattling around was the bag of mounting bolts and the little teardrop-shaped keyhole cover. No treasure.😪 After watching your videos, Master locks and Sentry safes are off my list. Thanks for all of your info,
Worked flawlessly, thanks for the insight 👌🏽
The hardest part is finding a wire hanger.
Can only find those hangars at dry cleaners anymore. So this attack might require 2 days and $5 to steam & iron your shirt.
What are you guys talking about? I fucken buy them all the time to this day, I actually have one extended in my garage cus my lady has locked her keys in the car more than once in a week and that's my go to, I live in California and they sell them everywhere, I believe the swap meet has 5 for one dollar, target has them also but fuck them
@@chukybenavides9172 so is the update remove this thing
99cent only has plastic ones
You dont even need one. Just hit the top of safe and turn handle at same time.
Must've taken quite a few takes to say "high security sponge" with a straight face....
why do you assume he said it with a straight face?
wait till you see his other video czcams.com/video/Joed0P3hhbc/video.html
Why would he need to do a retake if he didn't have a straight face? He only ever films his hands.
I almost ordered one of these today. Good thing I saw this first. Thanks for the video!
With any of these electronic safes that rely on a solenoid, a strong magnet or bouncing the box works great. Kinetic energy pulling that solenoid open gives you a gap to open it same way bumping a lock works.
“High security sponge” absolutely brutal. I loved it
Heyo its the funny DnD guy. mad respect for your channel
LPL: "It's held in place with a sponge..."
Me: "You mean double sided tape but ok..."
Me: "...omg..."
Double sided tape might be more secure, because the lights wouldn't as obviously give way.
Also, they could avoid this kind of attack by having the lights protected with a thin plastic cover. A criminal could break the cover to perform this same attack, but it would be just a little harder to do.
I legit thought he was joking until he took the sponge out.
I wonder if this was intended to have a larger mechanism/board, and they just re-used the shell? Because that sponge fills out quite a lot of empty space.
Stollllen comment loser
It is a sponge duh
Your instruction were perfect and it took me 5 min to pick the lock. Great video!!
Thank You for educating the house breaking individuals who did not know how to do this.
🤦🏻♂️🤣. I no longer think my safe made out of Lego is ridiculous
First Name Second Name it’ll probably keep him out longer tbh
Bare foot thieves better beware.
I once made a fully functioning safe by following a cardbord cutout template from a kids magazing. Security-wise I think it was on par. :)
If I buy enough Playdough I think I can make something that will take ages to go through...
Yo if you super glue those legos together, you'd have a better safe than the ones shown on this channel
My first thought: a person who designed this lock is a thief.
Only in the way that he steals from people by selling them crappy safes, while giving a rats ass when someone is losing his valuables because he trusted this piece of garbage.
In fact, asking a real thief how to design a safe would make a lot more sense to me than trusting someone who just wants to make some quick money.
No he is a stupid
If it were really designed by a thief, it would be more secure. They'd know what to secure it against
@@Furzkampfbomber
This is true. Like how Frank Abagnale Jr. actually went to work for the government and started catching fraudsters.
@@Pouya- he have stupid
I love the at this literally just helped me break into the exact same safe that I locked the key inside of. God bless you.
You are the man! lost my keys and batteries died. I'm moving and i had bolted the safe down and couldn't remove it without getting inside to the nuts. Got in if 5 seconds!!!! Thank you!!
One of my friends bought a safe. He bolted it down to the shelf. The shelf was easy to remove so when the robber came he took the safe together with the shelf.
"a lock is only as safe as what its mounted in"
also works well if you change it to
"a safe is only as secure as what its mounted on"
😂😂😂😂😂
your friend forgot to make sure the lock was secured to a strong setting. whoops.
"There was an attempt..."
If you can pick up the safe, it's not safe.
You know, when it comes to these videos, I’m not even surprised anymore, but each time one pops up on my notifications, I’m absolutely thrilled..
sadly he picks them before my popcorn is even microwaved..
You microwave your popcorn before you start his videos. Only safe way to ensure your popcorn is ready for the show. :)
Although it causes you to miss out on your popcorn, I just love the fact that so many of the videos are just three minutes, and that I've never seen a LPL video fluffed up to 10 minutes, like most every other channel.
@@LadyAnuB You have time to eat a piece of popcorn before he gets a lock open? Daaaammmm you're fast...or Very hungry!😁
lol...……...
Thanks! I did it too! So much easier than cutting it open after losing the keys. Thanks a ton, LPL.
welp you saved my butt today, I'm a manager and switched the code on one of these bad boys today, made sure the code worked before I shut it... but forgot to shut the battery door.. 😂
safe locked, key inside and no power to the keypad because the batteries popped out - an hour and a half later and I was in! Thank you LPL!
Isn’t it amazing that so many of us are entertained and even addicted to videos from the Lock Picking Lawyer. One of the most interesting channels on CZcams. As an engineer one thing that consistently bothers me is so many issues are the result of bad engineering, certainly driven by cheap management.
Liked his videos because there's no loud intro useless lengthy music all that stuffs. All straight to the point, informative video from a knowledgable person who had something to share.
It's business. The purpose of any business is to make a profit. Everything else is secondary. We've become so jaded to it that we rarely hold companies accountable for their failures. Well, at least now I know not to buy a safe from this company, so that's one person they won't be fooling.
"High Security Sponge" TM

Wow, you are a rescuer, mine id out of battery and lost the keys. Now I can open it with a hanger.

the scary part is that the hotel literally supplies any theif with the neccessary tools just a few ft from the "safe".
This is not a hotel safe. It's a home "safe" by the worst lock company in the US.
@@johndododoe1411 Hotel "safe" are of very varied quality. One hotel I have been a guest of had a "master code" of 1 2 3 4 5 6... so... well... even if I set my own personal code; the 1 2 3 4 5 6 code also opened the safe.
So far in my frequent travels though, I have not been subject to theft that I am aware of.
@@johndododoe1411 Document fire safe.
the door is maybe the thickest part of the whole "safe"
@@Paxmax As far as hotels are concerned, you'd probably want to look at the layers of security, and who has access to each. See what the room locks look like, the safe itself, any other security features in the common areas (sensors, cameras, night guard, etc).
You'd also want to be discreet before checking in. Don't do anything to stand out, like wear expensive jewelry or designer clothes.
Lastly, make sure to secure your belongings before you leave the room. I'm pretty sure that most hotels thefts are done by the maintenance or housekeeping staff.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! We have this safe and couldn't get in because the keypad battery died and we lost the key. I have zero lock picking experience and was able to pick the lock on this safe following this video. Took me about 10 minutes!!
Excellent video! Very useful. Thanks a lot!

@@StefanoBorini *roblox oof sound*
I'm returning this safe, because it is missing an LED.
There is a MUCH easier way to open this type of safe as long as it is not bolted down. Because it relies on a solenoid that has a VERY weak spring to engage the locking bar
All you have to do is give the safe a quick shake downward and quickly up and it causes the solenoid to retract momentarily and you can open the safe! No tools required.
That being said, LOVE THE CHANNEL 😊😊😊😀😊😀😊😀😊😀
Thanks, I sprained my back with no success.

CEO at Sentry Safe is now planning an "all employee meeting" in the lobby.
So, how long have you all been working for this company, not counting tomorrow?
Both of the competent people probaly already left years ago.
Update on that: Sentry CEO commits suicide by hari-kari in front of board meeting.
The CEO's probably regretting the cost cutting exercise they implemented a year ago where they removed a metal cover and two PCB supports. Now he'll probably blame the engineers who never wanted to do it anyway.
Nah. Just a marketing meeting, and maybe a lawyer.
