This informative video is providing the consumer a clear "disclosure" of what minimal effort it takes to access the contents of this perceived "safe" box. It's amazing how many get upset about exposing the vulnerabilities to their so called fireboxes/safes. However, once they lose their precious family heirlooms, documents, jewelry, guns etc.. THEN they say.. "wish I had known". Well HERE is your wake up call. Excellent Video.
Put this safe inside another safe thats inside another safe thats inside another safe. That way its safe.
It would be safe to say that would work.

You mean it's a safe safe. 😁
Sentry should fix this embarrassment and proactively replace every customer safe [free of charge] affected by this design flaw.
He could offer higher security mechanisms, but why should he do that for free? Sentry is not his company, and he has had zero involvement in its poor design, so why should he offer his upgrades for free?
why its a fire safe, security was not in mind during design
thank you so much. You just saved me a whole lot of money when my Sentry Safe stops letting me in. I bought a magnet for $16 from Amazon and I was able to make it happen. Sincerely thank you so much you really save me a lot of time and money
How big was your magnet?
Same question I bought a 550lb pull fishing rare earth magnet & still won't open
Thank you for posting this video, was about to pick one up from the local warehouse because they are on sale, and decided to look up some info on this product. You guys saved me 200 bucks! ^_^
LOL true dat!
Great for keeping the kids away from my wallet but that's all . .
buy a gun safe
A great many gun safes have this same vulnerability, and others. Some, I kid you not, can be opened with a McDonald's straw. Others, require something a bit more sophisticated: a paper clip. There are toddlers, on video, opening some of these things in under 10 seconds. And then closing them and doing it again because it's so much fun. Adorable to watch and hear, really, until you consider the ramifications.
Thank you so much I was able to get into my unsafe and fine that one of my jewelry was gone but able to figure out who did it. THANKS for the video
Thanks guys! I greatly appreciate knowing how worthless those are.
how ironic, the Canadian uses a hockey puck magnet.
New Videos coming lol
Mr. Locksmith
You just taught everyone how to break into them. WTG!
pretty sure it is all over the place. I appreciate being made aware so I can stay away from this type of safe
Fantastic Video Guys. Keep up the great work. Nick.
so you guys are showing someone how to break into peoples safes.... Awesome!
I just started thinking of how many people have piece of mind and think no one can get to their valuables...when the truth is anyone, absolutely ANYONE!!!!...! Can get in the safe, anytime they want to. That truly makes me sad. It's true when they say," NOTHING IS SAFE ANYMORE!"
Rock it back and forth pushing down on the handle at the same time.
If there is key function included or in addition to the combo pad, will you need to pick open the key cyl first?
"I just play with the wires until it opens",thanks sentry that sounds like quality security.
great info video
im 13 n i jus learned how to get my xbox back lol ahahha
SUPREME TEAM lol,
Same, it feels good man.
My mom's n dad cut the Male end of the cord, replaced it for a female one and the spliced the 2 males together to make a "pigtail "for the tv.
Pigtail was a foul word around our place gauranteed to create a problem and stress
same nigga execp i gettin my money back
Just don't put the magnet near your xbox or you will fry the electronics
does this work on older sentry safe models? i have one in my garage that i gave up on getting into until i saw this video. i can provide a picture of it if will help.
If a magnet does not work, I opened/destroyed my Sentry safe in about 45 minutes with common tools
what brands of safe to you recommend to store cash ,gold and silver bullion/coins???
How about a dial combination sentry safe can your magnet open it or is this just for digital sentry safe?
Could you please send me the link where can I buy the magnet for $ 15
If you want to keep your valuables safe from thieves you have to buy a real security safe. Anything under 1000 dollars is probably not going to keep someone from breaking in to the safe. There's a reason most of those lock boxes are labeled as "fire safes". Not to mention anything that isn't bolted down or too heavy to carry is just making things easier for the thief by putting all your valuables into one convenient location inside an easy to carry portable box that can be broken into later.
What comparable safe would you recommend?
Would it work on SFW123FTC sentry safe its like yours except the handle bar is grey and it has an inside shelf
Thank you! What is a good type of safe to buy to protect against theft? Any reccommendations?
guns safes
where do you get the magnet from on ebay? I searched but can't seem to find one the same size
Mr. Locksmith... do you have any recommendations for a firearms safe? (available in Canada...) that is more of a challenge to open?
You guys should try using a hard drive magnet from the older hard drives pre sata.
I have a Sentry Safe DA3831. I bought a $5 95 lb pull magnet. Is the solenoid on the DA3831 in the same place as yours?
any suggestions on a affordable water/fire/magnet proof safe? or at least the best bang for your buck?
all you need to do to fix this is replace the magnetic solenoid element with a strictly copper coil that is energized at the same time as the outer coil.
THANKS! I had the combination, but even after replacing batteries it didn't open. Used the 9 volt battery trick and it opened immediately. Apparently there is a small disc battery that also needs replacing.
If it uses power to retain its user programmable memory, that's bad. That means you could short the battery terminals and clear it's memory. ...leaving just the factory default code (typically 1234, 1001, 9999 or 0000) to open it.
My battery is dead and I cannot figure out how to open it to replace it. I no longer have the key. Any suggestions?
I have a safe like this one except my keypad wire was cut so I can't use it anymore. Been locked out of it for almost 2 years. Does this method work if their is no power going into the safe?
This will probably work on any electronic safe or lock. Solenoid protection is only good if thief does not know the direction of the solenoid. They should change it to electric motor latch, where motor has to make like 10 turns to unlock and add a reed switch to detect an attempt and time lock for like an hour.
My safer is fairly old mabybe about 25 years, I tried your magnet approach but it did not work. I even tapped it with a rubber mallet to see if maybe it was stuck as it is so old, but that did not work either. Placed the magnet exactly where you suggested and moved it around a few time but it did not open. Here are the numbers I see pasted on the door A5865 and AK395372. Not sure what there are? Any suggestions? Maybe I got a good safe from Sentry? Last time I was in Vancouver was for the Wordl's fair. Brother live there!
I THINK THAT YOU ARE AMAZING MY FREIND WATCHED YOU VIDEUO AND GOT IT THANK YOU
Nice! Great video!
Ok I have a quick question what would be the best kind of house locks you can buy for the money and whats the best kind of security safe you can buy for the money
Thanks for the video, i was just about to buy centrysafe and put all my valuables. Now i am thinking of buying Bighorn Heavy Duty 6.9 Cu Ft Safe, 60 min Fire Protection with The Securam ECSL-601 electronic lock with UL certified swingbolt lock design, do you think swingbolt is good enough and magnet hack proof? Please suggest.
A Buglary victim.
Thanks for showing people how to open my safe
He is just showing people that sentry safes are really crappy
Hey this is a really stupid question but I'm terrible with this stuff.
How do you open this safe with the magnetic key? Because idk the combination but I have the key and it isn't opening.
Or do you need both?
On the SFW082et electronic floor safe is the solenoid in the same location?
Magnet trick failed, but dropping one corner of it a few times seems to have reset the solenoid somehow, re-enabling the electronic keypad function.
Thanks for the "peak behind the curtain" of the door mechanism.
Sometimes laying the safe on its back will cause it to open.
GREAT VIDEO.. WHICH SAFE DO YOU RECOMMEND.. I LIKE THAT SIZE.. I'AM IN SAN DIEGO.. ARE THE ONES THAT ARE NOT DIGITAL BETTER???
Hi Mr.Locksmith, would your magnet solution work on Sentry safe that has both the lock and the electronic key pad?
Hen Sum The Rare Earth Magnet will only work on the solenoid. The mechanical lock has to have a key, be picked open or physical dmg to the lock.
How do you protect the contents inside, like money and papers from getting mold? The silica gel packet that comes with the safe does not work. I found mold all over my stuff.
I've tried using a magnet with 150 lbs pulling capacity as well as one with 350 lbs pulling capacity. Neither one opens my Sentry Safe. My safe is about 3 years old.
how do you do it for the same safe but not the digital but the dial
There should be two solinoids that move pins in opposite directions (both as shown here, and in the reverse direction) so that a magnet wouldn't work. That innovation wouldn't add much to the cost of the safe.
Bingo & the engineer makes the big bigs
I see slot of these but they are all with electronic locks, please do the same test with a mechanical combination lock. not saying it can't be done but why would a criminal bypass so many valuables to hope there's something better in the fire safe bolted to the floor in my closet? I mean if I have done my job right then my schedule would appear random to a point to them so they wouldn't know when I would be home so they wouldn't want to be cought dicking around with a small fire safe. they will grab what they can and run. but no ur right I should go by s safe from you 10 times the price and have nothing left to put in it. You guys are great salesmen good job.
does this work for a phoenix-fs0440 safe?
what is the best safe to buy to safely protect your treasures in your opinion
Thank you, time to case some joints.
I have this safe with a both digital key lock and a physical key, will the physical key help the security?
Does that work on the lock without the battery installed? In case the battery line is fully empty or taken away to disable the pin code?
Thank you so much - you have given me hope. My electronic locking mechanism is dead and really need to get in. Will give this a try.
did you have any luck with this technique? My keypad also stopped working, even after a battery change, and I'm trying to figure out how to get in. I tried messing with the wires and a battery, but no luck...
+Matt Atienza I did not have a rare earth magnet strong enough to pull the mechanism AND apparently I placed my heavy iron magnet in the wrong spot. Sadly, I ended up destroying the safe by using a large crowbar to get my stuff. In my case, the release mechanism was near the hinge on top, not the other side. A strong magnet in the right spot (including the one I used) may have worked as it appeared pretty simple. If you use the magnet, try it in different areas around the door and striking it to break the mechanism free if it's stuck.
Please help me, trying to open a Sentry safe S-3460, have the key but combination is not working. Thanks.
I have a s3517 sentry I tried magnet not work is solenoid in a different spot? I got safe after my mother passed but all paperwork for it is locked inside..
what if it is the same sentry safe but all mechanical, spin dial ... no keypad
Sentry 1.23 cu. ft. safe is $90USD and weighs no more than 80lbs/36kg and it's junk.
what's the best brand, kind of safe to get then that doesn't cost a ton
does this happen with combination safes?
The next video needs to be how to pick locks. I dont want to have to kick a door😏
Was just about to buy this type of safe, thanks to your video I made a much better investment. 👍
Does this work with the safe that also needs a key because i lost both my key and code
Are the newer ones this easy to open? This video is 7 years old
Do most (or all) sentry safes use the same magnetic solenoid? Is this magnet a good investment to open these things? I own a locksmith shop and was wondering if this is a good tool to have.
What I’m trying to figure out then, is... 1. What’s the best fire proof safe to use then? 2. What’s the best security safe to get? 3. Can vaultek gun safes be broken into?
So this is an electronic safe. Can you also open a combination locked safe as easliy? If so, the safe is pretty useless when someone has a magnet. What about the fire rating and waterproof capabilities the safe has. If those arent useless then the safe is prepared to keep items safe in case of a fire...etc
Is the mechanical version secure? Meaning, does only electronic version have these problems?
How about if you use the key? there is a key to double lock it besides the entry panel..???
Try that on the Sentry Safe SFW123UDC with audible intrusion alarm. Can you do the same without tripping the alarm? I only ask because I just purchased the SFW123UDC model.
I am a locksmith and I can open anything. The alarm is ok but again, with time and skill anything can be defeated.
Burglars don't carry around a big magnet when they break into a home nor do they have a big pry bar and hammers.I'm sure they also don't have a hand truck. The safe is too heavy to pick up if its not bolted to the floor. Burglars go for the easy stuff when the alarm is sounding and police are on there way. They are not breaking into a safe. Any safe can be broken into with the right tools and time.
I have a combination does this still apply?
Do the batteries in the safe have to be charged for the magnet trick to work?
Can you open a bigger same with one of those magnets
how big is that disk and were did u get it
So what safe is a good safe to buy?
Do you have a safe that you recommend for the common homeowner?
will a Neodymium Magnets wii do it to
What would happen if one would change the type of metal on the solenoid to stainless steel , spring and pin??
Mine is sentry combination safe, does it work?
Hi, what is lowest magnet pull (LB) do you use in open the safe?
2000 lbs
so do u think a 300lbs pull on century safe model # sfw205fyc
I wonder if this has been fixed by the company or if they make the safes the same way.
good
so now which is safe that i can use?
What's not completely obvious here but should be: if a safe uses a keypad (i.e., needs batteries) and has no key or rotary dial then it will use a selenoid somewhere since there is no mechanically-induced rotary or linear motion to retrack restraining bolts. All selenoid pins are moved by magnetic fields. Strong (rare earth) magnets will do. Stay with non-electric safes for non-fire security.
Thanks for showing a bunch of criminals how to break into our safes.
+Brandon Lorenzen If they wanted to get in badly enough they wouldn't have needed this video to figure out how. Bolt your secure (not fire) safe to something solid, and store anything heat/water sensitive in a smaller fire safe inside of it. Or if it's not valuable but you still want it safe from fire/water, then get a small fire safe specifically for that.
Yeah Brandon
They aren't intelligent enough to even know what Neodymium is until someone tells them on youtube. Sorry, but its a fact.
Ben B yes, but not everyone is going to know exactly where the solenoid is and this video shows you exactly where it is and how to disable it. These guys are enabling thieves. Even if this isn’t meant to be a secure safe, it has a lock on it which means it’s designed to keep people out. Again, these guys just made it easy for someone to steal whatever is in your safe.
Cheddar Bob
Locks only keep honest people out. If someone wants in bad enough the lock isn't going to stop them
How hard would it be to modify the safe by adding a bit of magnetic shielding between the solenoid and the door panel to prevent this?
+Eric Sentner hey eric, if you ever hear about actual magnetic shielding, please be sure to let me know. I don't think there has ever been such a thing discovered at all .... od tell me it you hear of something like this ... anyone else know about magnetic shielding? inventorz at yahoo dot com
+Steve Oh I think its better to also put a gravity shield between the safe and solenoid, to balance any extra effect of the magnetic shield.
Hi, I have a Sentry S5741 and I can't open it by using the magnetic. I have the code and key and it's been working fine before but now it doesn't seem to work. I also check to make sure the battery still good. Do you know the location of the solenoid of this model? Thanks
IT'S NOT A SECURITY SAFE PEOPLE... IT'S A FIRE SAFE. FIRE DON'T HAVE MAGNETS OR WANT TO STEAL YOUR CRAP. Your supposed to be able to get in them easily. After a fire all the plastic knobs and buttons melt off. Magnets and prying is what they expect your yo do. It's an amazing safe for fire protection.
+Joanes Pierre You must be a Sentry Safe salesperson lol.
+Joanes Pierre It is a good box for Fire Resistance only
+Joanes Pierre Its not a safe. Its a fire-resistant BOX.
has anyone tryed this? does it really work
Hi Mr. Locksmith I found your video and as my 2 year old sentry safe decided not to accept my code after I replaced the battery. My magnet is arriving in 3 days and if it does not work I will give you a call as I am from Vancouver as well.
What's the size, strength, type etc. of the magnet? You said you were testing for the minimum strength required to break into the safe. What is it?
yeah a fall from a 10 story parking garage works too..."GIT ER DONE" !!
And risks destroying whatever valuables may have been in it.
What is the best safe then?
why would they use 4 bolts for just fire protection?
marketing, sounds better on paper
Helps with the drop test (falling through the burning floor into the basement)
with a sentry safe like this, www.sentrysafe.com/pdfs/OwnersManuals/516247.pdf
at the bottom of page 4 it looks like even if you were to override the solenoid with a strong enough magnet, youd still need a key to open it, correct?
DieForDethklok11 ... did you ever find an answer to that? I have the safe with a key and not sure a magnet will get it open?
thank you Mr locksmith in your opinion what's the best safe that resist fire and hard to crack in
