Sentry electronic safe, dead battery + lockout
Saturday afternoon at The Bridges - Sentry electronic safe in the master closet, batteries dead + no override key on hand.
We used a manipulation bypass on the electronic mechanism, opened the safe in 20 minutes non-destructively, replaced the batteries, and re-keyed the mechanical override to her existing house key (so she'd never be locked out by dead batteries again). 35 minutes total.
Dead-battery lockouts on Sentry electronic safes are the #1 Bridges safe call. Once we re-key the override to your house key, it stops being a recurring problem.
