How much are you willing to pay for peace of mind ?

Just 30 bucks and you're good to go, don't ever be afraid your favorite guitar is going to go body side, or worse, head side first onto the floor because your favorite old strap has it's holes to worn out.
Made out of though steel, with durable finish and simple press to unlock mechanism.
Have them on all my favorite guitars.

Unpleasant surprise
SingleMalt 09.08.2019
I just finished installing these.

Pros: good looking (subtle), easy to mount, clear instructions. You will need two tools. A Phillips screwdriver, evidently, but also something like a needle point nosed pliers to get the retainer clip to snap into the locking pin?s shank groove. Unless you have steel fingers.

Cons: I?ll let the instructions speak for themselves (the caps are Dunlop?s ):
"Maintenance: It is important to periodically maintain the Straplock system. Keeping the ball bearings and the locking pin lubricated is VERY important, as is making sure there is nothing inside the strap button. We recommend the following items to assist you:
1. Cotton Swabs
2. Lubricant Spray"

Frankly, how is one supposed to know what "periodically" means in this context? Is the alternative to this vigilance/effort on the part of the buyer that one day the locking pin, and therefore the strap, might get stuck on the guitar? This is a bit of a concern since one of the locks is tricky to release. So I guess it already needs lubricating...

Jeez Louise. Wish I had known, cause these don?t come cheap. I got my six-year old the Harley Benton Security Locks BK at a fraction of the price. They work fine and don?t require maintenance.

these last a lifetime

I've had a pair of these for years, and they are still going strong.
Btw, this is what you need if you want to spin your guitar around yourself and don't want it to end up in your neighbours yard!

In use with ESP ltd 600 Gary Holt guitar and a Minotaur Strap. Easy to install on the guitar ( tip: follow the steps on the small manual ). Once installed it sticks out a bit . So had to adjust the custom case that went with the ESP ( cut out some isomo and replace the fur in the case to make the guitar fit again ).
Also use the screws that come with the locks ( don't re-use the guitar screws ) as the heads of the screws are adapted to fit the locks.
Very solid product and well worth buying with any guitar to avoid it from falling when strap comes loose.

It does what it says it does.

The installation is easy; a video can be found on YouTube. The strap locks are reliable in securing the guitar, and they have the advantage of allowing you to use your own strap and interchange them if you have multiple strap locks installed.

Standard for all my guitars and basses
SebastianJames 07.09.2017
As the heading says, I tried a set of these years ago, and now I put them on everything I buy. I'm happy to be "limited" to this system, as I can still swap straps around between all my instruments.

Pros:
- they work, and they keep working.
- they're easy to fit, and can be removed wihout much trouble.
- you can still use a regular strap on guitars fitted with these.

Cons:
- the screw is pretty deep, so it sticks out a couple of millimetres from the back end of one of my guitars - I was just worried about splitting the wood if I drove it any deeper. I drilled a hole through a pick and used that as a spacer, as a workaround.
- once you've fitted a strap with the matching clips, you can only use it with instruments that are fitted with these, until/unless you remove them from the strap.
- they _feel_ slightly rattly, but I've never had one fail on me yet.

My favourite security locks
Tauzieher 14.02.2014
I've been using these on all my guitars and basses for years now and I couldn't be happier. I actually started out using the "Flush Mount" version on 1 guitar and 1 bass when I first discovered the system, but went on to use the "Dual Design" on all successional instruments, because they make it possible to still use "regular" straps and of course because they're much easier to install and the mod is completely reversible.

What I like most about these locks is that there's no screwing around (pun intended) - apart from the screw that holds the pin of course. The counterpart that you attach to the strap is locked in position by a spring-lock washer that won't come off unless you use tools (like a small screwdriver) and a lot of force.
And should it not hold sufficiently anymore, because you have taken it out and put in in again (to adjust a "traditional" leather strap, to put them on a different strap, ...) too often, you can get replacement washers for a few cents at pretty much every hardware store. I've never had to replace one yet, though, and I've changed strap lengths etc. quite a lot over the past few years.

Also, when connected to the pins, the locks can freely rotate 360° so you're absolutely free to move. And you have to push the button (protected against accidental pushing by the collar) and simultaneously pull the lock out of the pin to separate the strap from the instrument, which makes it pretty much impossible to open these by accident.
I haven't had a single incident in about 6 years (using them on 11 instruments).

Best strap locks I've found
MrGuyJP 05.03.2018
I used to use schaller strap locks on all my guitars but I bought a bass that had these on and I loved them so I bought them for all of my instruments. It is great that you can use a regular strap if you want to. The only drawback is that the part that goes on your strap is a bit difficult to fit, though I eventually got used to it after doing a couple of straps. Once they are on it looks like it would be a pretty tough job to get them off again! The only thing I don't like is that if you are using this and you do the usual trick of passing the cable through your strap (to protect from standing on your cable and pulling it out of the guitar) then because of this design, the strap does not tightly hold your cable next to the guitar. The strap attaches to the end of the strap button so that leaves a gap. It's not really a big deal but is something to be aware of. I have not had any problems because of this.

Great and discret !
Bobbynou 24.09.2019
I never liked the look of the original Dunlop Straplok, because it didn't look as authentic as the oirignal guitar strap buttons.

But these are really great ! Because it's faded perfectly in the look of the guitar and seemed authentic. You can also use them without the strap button and you could use a regular strap with them.

These have never failed me and I've been using them on various guitars for a lot of years !

Nice design

The top button allows for easy one hand operation. If you keep the lubricated you will never run to a problem with them
