Description :

Secure your valuables with industrial-grade vintage reliability using this heavy-duty Sentry floor safe, distributed by the Portland Safe Co. Finished in a classic neutral tone and mounted on sturdy wheels for mobility, this robust security chest features a secure interior locking dual-drawer compartment and an Underwriters' Laboratories (U.L.) Class C 20-minute fire rating badge. While the safe is currently open, the combination will need to be reset. Key for inside drawer has not been found. 

Note - Combination needs to be reset, so safe has been left open. May need to secure the door during transportation.

For this vintage mechanical dial Sentry floor safe, resetting or changing the built-in mechanical combination isn't a simple button-press or digital toggle like modern electronic locks. Because it uses a traditional mechanical wheel pack, changing the active combination requires accessing the interior mechanism:

Inspect the Back of the Door: Look closely at the inner plate on the back of the door directly behind the dial mechanism. On many of these older vintage models, a protective cover plate shields the wheel pack.

​Remove the Cover Plate: Carefully unscrew or gently pry off this panel (note that decades of paint or sealing can make it stick tightly).

​Adjust the Wheel Pack: Once exposed, the internal change-key mechanism or wheel gates will be visible. Depending on the specific vintage wheel design, changing the combination usually requires using a changing tool/key to unlock the wheels, dialing in your new desired numbers, and locking the wheel pack back into place.

Alternative Option: If you are trying to find an unknown existing combination rather than changing it, locksmiths or vintage safe enthusiasts typically align the wheel pack gates visually through this inner panel access point while manipulating the dial. Alternatively, noting the serial/model tag on the front can sometimes allow you to request the original factory combination from customer support.

Due to the size and weight of this item, placing a bid confirms your agreement to arrive with two or more able-bodied helpers, an appropriately sized vehicle (please review measurements), and any necessary moving equipment such as a dolly or hand truck. Failure to arrive prepared may result in forfeiture of the item without refund. Please note: there will be no staff on-site to assist with moving or loading.


Dimensions : 17 in W x 23.5 in H x 18 in D
