I bout a set of these in 2001 for my 1984 Les Paul Custom. It’s been gigged, practiced on and everything in between and the strap locks have not failed once.They are just now getting a bit weak and have a lot of wear but the only way my guitar is ever going to hit the ground is if the buttons finally wear out. I’m glad to see that these are still available and will be getting a new set eventually.

The new S locks fix everything that was suspect with the old design. I was always concerned the old hex nut was going to work itself off and drop my guitars, The thumb wheel design and the ability to add security with a micro screw is genius. The self tapping screws and Allen wrench fitted buttons feels much more secure as well. I’m super impressed, and I’m going to change all the old ones I have for the new ones. The old ones are good, the new ones are PERFECT. Super easy to install, especially onto the strap.

The S-Lock version of the Schaller's are BY FAR the best most secure strap system I've seen/used. Unlike the strap locks from days of yore, these have multiple locking points that make them super easy to install, lock and forget. No more lose retaining lock wheels. The S-locks now have a hex bolt that keeps the lock wheel secure.

Nothing more to say, really. These things rule. If I lost em, I'd buy em again, even if the price was higher. Just go out and buy em.

These are great locks and feel like they will last forever. 2 minor things to be aware of:1. They only have one size screw (long). 2. They do not come with tools. You'll need a set of hex keys to screw them in and lock the collars.

Never worry about a drop again. I have some disability that makes it difficult both hold and play a guitar. Over the years a few strap malfunctions have caused a drop. These locks are easy to use and install. They cannot come off till released. Easy to operate but nearly impossible to release accidentally. Very nice on newer acoustic/electric guitars with an endpin jack....these are famous for ejecting the strap at odd moments. Cheap insurance.

These are superb. I've been using them on all of my straps and axes for many years, and have never had a problem. If you're having a problem with these, it's because you don't know what you're doing, and you are installing them improperly. You don't need thread lock, but you do need to be savvy. The first thing you need to do is alter the strap ends to fit the extra large threads. Once you've properly enlarged those (and if your strap won't take enlarging the holes, stop buying cheap straps), you need to make the nut really tight, using a proper wrench or pliers. The way to tell if you've properly widened the holes is when the strap hole lays perfectly flat against the back of the straplock. If it doesn't do that, then you haven't done it properly. They need to be the same size as the threads: no bigger, and no smaller. Use a sharp razor blade. Not one fo those thin shaving blades, but one made for cutting cardboard and scoring. I prefer FatMax blades, available at your local hardware store. Once you've got that nice and tight, Bob's your Uncle, and they won't come off. As far as the rating: clearly, these don't make any sound, and the only feature that matters is that they work all the time. The wow factor is that you'll never drop your axe, unless you've not paid proper attention to the fastening procedure. Again, don't blame the product because you didn't know how to properly attach them to you strap. These are the best.

These are prettier than Dunlops but I won't trust them on my $3K Black Les Paul Custom or my American Strats due to the ease of the nut falling off which happened to me twice.I originally bought these for my '88 Les Paul Custom I just bought because they looked better than the Dunlops. After 1st gig the nut came off and got lost so I bought another set. I now lost that one in the house. Switching back to Dunlops. I own 17 lefty guitars. Use LockTite if you plan on getting these. I am switching back to Dunlops, not as pretty but there is no nut to come off and I can't afford to drop one of my axes

I'm impressed. These strap locks haven't come lose, they look great, and appear to be extremely heavy duty. I'm using them with a 3.25" wide heavy leather padded strap.

I have used Schaller strap locks since I bought my first guitar back in 2010.This set of locks actually grind against each other and twist the screw right out of the instrument.I don't know what idiot designed these things with such tight tolerances that the only thing they "lock" is to each other. But that person should be fired.Out of a canon.Into a brick wall.The strap pins that came with the instrument are more secure than these pieces of crap.

These are great and they are the best. Super easy install and reliable not to mention if installed right the guitar rests in the cup even if it was to fail your guitar wouldn't hit the floor. My only complaint is Gibson has started using larger screws and buttons on the lower side. The screw in the guitar won't work with these and the screw with the strap locks won't work with the guitar. So if your buying these for a Gibson plan on some work to install them.

My stat has hit the floor 3 different times using these locks. DO NOT USE GROVER/FENDER/SCHALLER STRAP LOCKS! They're all the same lock in different packaging. They do not hold. It ain't like I'm spinning my Axe around my back either. They suck. Use ANYTHING ELSE!
