Sentry safe solenoid

Opening the solenoid is not easy, but they can be drilled open.

n't have the combination number.. anyone know how to open the solenoid elec tronically.?? i tried to apply 6v to red black and green, didn't work. the safe is from a relative who passed away.. any help will be taken seriously

Such as in many hotel rooms and so forth?

And you want us to give you a 'way in'?

I suggest you get in touch with the manufacturer. They will know how to do it, as well as verify your bona-fides.

She chose to leave it open, but not get the combination.

The magnet trick usually requires a rather powerful, dangerous, and expensive permanent magnet. Handle it wrong and you will smash your fingers. Not recommended unless you know exactly what you're doing.
