Warwick Security Straplocks Chrome

I bought two sets of these - two guitars and one strap. The guitar mounting parts are fine (and will accommodate an old fashioned strap without security locks if you want to revert) but the strap mounting parts were a little more hit and miss. The strap mounting part fits firmly onto the strap with no problems, but it has a funky mechanical arrangement which provides the locking to the guitar mounted spigot. Having bought 2 sets, I had 4 strap mounting parts and one of these didn't want to lock / unlock easily. I replaced it with one of the 3 units which did work and have had no problems. I suspect some WD40 and gentle manipulation might cure the problem, but I probably shouldn't have to go through this exercise. Out of 3 sets bought for myself and a friend (6 strap mounting parts in total) only one strap mounting part has had this problem.

Once the working parts were in place, these locks were brilliant. No chance of the guitar falling off while playing (a problem faced by my friend with his bass using another type of strap lock several times before he made the switch) and quick change between guitars is very easy to achieve.
