Can you get keys and combos from other safe makers besides Sentry, or is Sentry the only manufacturer that provides that service and you just have to have the safe picked or cut?
The Sentry safes (IMO) seem to be the most prevalent in the lkrs we get simply because they are relatively inexpensive and available at places like Wal-Mart, etc.
The other larger, heavier-duty safes I have gotten include the STAR brand (probably absorbed by someone from what I remember researching them) and I have taken those to a locksmith. In my area they typically charge $75 but I have taken enough in to one outfit that I think they are charging me more in the $50 range and if keys are needed along with the combo, that's included.
The gun safe I had done (they came to the lkr) cost $300 (maybe $313 or something for the labor and a new combiantion lock) and my discount on the little ones I took to them came after that.
So, I don't know if other brands provide that same combination/key help the way Sentry does, but safes can pay off sometimes (see the other thread).
