Dunlop Straplok Nickel Dual Design

Relatively easy to fit to the strap and very easy to fit to the guitar, I had no issues with the strap coming off as long as I used them.

There’s a metal clip that needs to be pushed in place to fit the attachment to your strap which is a little tough to do but far from impossible. I’d recommend keeping the locks on your strap permanently rather than remove them regularly.

I was able to fit these parts to my Gibson Les Paul without any need for filling or re-drilling holes, the screws fit the existing screw thread.

Keep in mind, these locks are nickel finish, so might not match perfectly with guitars that have chrome hardware (if that’s important to you).

These strap locks in particularly the dual deisgn are great replacement strap pins and strap locks. The dual design means you can use a regular guitar strap over them without it falling off as with the other Dunlop designs. This does add bulk to the design, but is a nice option to have incase you need to borrow an emergency strap at a gig without the other locking part attached.

The locking feature is really great. Incredible peace of mind when you have made sure 1) that the pin has been installed correctly (no loose holes!). You may need to fill and redrill your guitar for secure fit. And 2) that the button is pressed in and depressed properly inside the lock and you test it to make sure of this or you could find it just falling out and seeing your guitar do the very thing you bought these to prevent!

The design for these locking strap buttons make the install of the item itself very easy, as well as the second mechanism which attaches to your strap(s). I have never have the 'lock' fail, and have found the quick release button very useful for quick guitar changes while gigging.

All you will need is a screwdriver, which you'd assumably have anyway to remove the original strap buttons before installing these. One part of the mechanism is the strap button, which will be fixed to your guitar via a screw down the middle. The second part of the mechanism goes around the front/back of your guitar strap 'holes' to secure the 'lock' mechanism to the strap. It has never taken me more than five minutes to fit this product to a guitar. I have never had a problem with the Straplok design and have used it for around 2/3 years now and gifted some to others because I like it so much. Great product for the price, cannot complain at all, acts exactly as advertised.
