If you put in the wrong code 3 times on a SentrySafe, the safe will typically go into a temporary lockout mode, preventing further attempts for a set period, usually 5-15 minutes. To resolve this, wait for the lockout period to expire before attempting to enter the correct code again. If issues persist, consult your SentrySafe manual or contact customer support for assistance.
