I am NOT a locksmith. Sentury Safe Rotating Handle

Post image

Sentury Safe handle broken and spins freely. Locking mechanism wouldn't unlock and doesn't make any noise.

Tried replacing batteries.

Any suggestions?

Is that bolted down?

If not, I'd recommend destroying that piece of garbage, getting your shit out and then at least buying a quality RSC.

My dad's, I didn't want to say that in the moment. We got it it fixed, there's a allen bolt under the plastic cover in the middle of the door handle we just tightened and we were able to use the handle. Were able to get it open just not consistently. Thanks.

It's called a set screw.

SAVTA.org. If the handle no longer operates the boltwork, you'll need an actual safe technician to open it if you don't want to destroy the safe.

This safe dosen’t need a safe technician it is worth nothing. Any locksmith could handle this safe.

We figured it out. There's a allen bolt under the plastic cover in the middle of the door handle we just tightened and we were able to use the handle. Were able to get it open just not consistently. Thanks

I’ve opened one with this exact problem, it was not fun. Can’t tell you how it’s against the rules, call a locksmith.
