Sentry will not sell parts. Not even to me, and I am an authorized service
provider for them. The only thing they will send me is an entire door,
provided it is a current production model. and that's (AFAIK) only for
warrantee work.
Their logic is... for every safe they sell parts to repair, that's one less
new safe they could sell. It is considered a disposable item.
Some of the newer ones (just some) have an S&G 6730 lock knock-off made by
an off shore company - "Rench". The lock case has the same footprint as an
S&G, but the mounting for the dial ring on the Sentrys with that lock is
completely different from the S&G (or any other standard) dial ring. (Found
that out the hard way on an opening once). I had to drill and tap new holes
for the dial ring mounting screws when I replace the lock with an S&G 6730.
I'm not sure if the dial (spindle) for the Rench lock is interchangeable
with the S&G. Never tried. If so, lock replacement would be fairly easy.
Just reuse the old dial, spindle, and dial ring. If not, it could be a real
pain unless you know what you are doing as far as metal work.
Hope this answers your question.

Post by sofasurferI just aquired a new sentry safe. It was discarded because the
lock/dial mechanism is bad. Is has been removed and discarded. Can this
part be purchased and replaced? Is it worth the cost?
