I equip almost all my electric guitars with security locks, but I was looking for a cheaper version than the schaller ones for a cheaper guitar. These do the job, and are significantly cheaper. The feel is though in line with the price, and using a schaller set and this one side by side, you can easily understand why the price gap is that important. But I would not have 'invested' in a pair of schaller for that guitar, so buying this pair spares the rod and the child. Job done, just feels less quality.
