Surprised both by how flimsy the plastic feels (low quality, ugly jagged sharp casting lines) and by the fact that these do NOT come as a pair! Extremely disappointed. The price would be fair if it were $2.00 for a pair, not $7.00 for one.I would also note that the hole in the twisty part won't be big enough for some strap buttons once a strap is added; on my acoustic guitar's buttons (which are 1/2in wide at the head, just over 1/4in at the base and 1/4in tall) the hole will go over the button but will twist less than halfway shut around the base with a very thin leather strap. Not really their fault my buttons are small/short, but something to note if you were considering this as a quick/temporary fix. I instead suggest, especially if you are putting locks on an electric guitar, to buy some Schaller-style locks. They might be more invasive to install, but they are more secure and look way better. Do it right the first time and don't waste your money on these like I did.

I bought a handful of these to see if they can help keep some of my heavier guitar straps secured. I tried 7 guitars and it only provides a modicum of usefulness on my acoustic. The problems using them are as follows:1) Will not work with leather straps, or straps with leather ends, due to tolerance between strap and guitar and button head.2) Hole designed for easy on/off installation is too small for almost all of my guitars. Had to remove the buttons and put it between the strap and head and screw it back on... pointless.3) When I do finally manage to get the part on my Danelectro that has smaller plastic buttons, it comes off after a few minutes because it doesn't "lock" in, it relies on friction.. also pointless.4) The piece is made of two thin pieces of plastic which come apart when attempting to install. Again this is due to the tolerance, but also the weakness of design holding the pieces together.5) One broke when trying to install on another guitar, because of its brittle plastic material make-up.After dicking around with these for a couple of hours, I finally decided it was less trouble to remove the buttons and use a few appropriate sized zinc washers and rubber donut gaskets. Cost about .15c each. Just screw the button with strap and the washers back on and done.Chalk this one up to a clever idea poorly executed by Jim Dunlop. DO NOT BUY!!-Glennp.s. - I have been playing over 20 years and have used different types of straplocks on over a dozen current guitars. Not my first try with this type of product.

I've used a few different strap lock systems and this is by far my favorite design (not to mention the most affordable which must be due to its simplicity). To use these, you put your strap on your guitar (as usual) then put the locks on. Rotate the smaller piece until the holes line up then slide the lock on above the strap. Once the lock has passed the head of the guitar's strap button, rotate the smaller piece again until the holes do not line up (close position) which should be about 180 degrees from open position. Very simple and works very well.I have not used any lock system that's perfect. Every one that I've used failed at one point or another (came off unexpectedly). These work exceptionally well. What I like about this design is that it doesn't require any modifications on the guitar or the strap. You can use the strap you like without adding anything to it and you don't have to replace the guitar's existing strap buttons.But they do stick out a bit (to keep the strap from sliding off) so if you're concerned about looks, you might want to try another system that's more discreet. Also, I tend to use thinner leather straps that have thinner ends. These will likely not work very well with thicker straps that tend to take up most of the height of most strap buttons.

I read the reviews here on Amazon and was kind of turned off of buying it at first. Eventually I went ahead and sprung for it since it wasn't expensive. I only needed one, and expected the package to come with just one, but it has two locks so that was a pleasant surprise. I've had them for 2-3 months now and they haven't failed me yet. They keep the strap in place just fine and are fairly sturdy for plastic pieces. Really helped a lot because my strap would keep slipping off the knob and I had to use my ninja skills to get the guitar before it hit the floor. The only complaint I have is that they fit a bit tight with my strap (though it could be my nylon strap is just a bit too thick) and they are an EXTREMELY snug fit which makes me kinda nervous. However, I keep them as tight as I can while still allowing them to rotate a bit so everything is fine so far. Not sure why the other reviews were so negative, but I have no complaints.

When it comes to preventing guitars from detaching from the strap locks, these are one of the best. Dunlop also manufactures a circular version rather than the one shown here which is more like a oversize guitar pick. Both are equally good but my preference favors the circular shaped on since when you move and twist with your instrument, the strap locks move along rather than binds whenever you encounter any sharp or even round edges.Also, you can only use them if you are using thin guitar straps much like the ones made by Ernie Ball which are woven and thin. Anything thicker than 1/8" would be a real knuckle buster since it becomes almost impossible to turn the dial clockwise in order to lock and secure the strap. And if you do manage to rotate the dial through a lot of finger pressure, imagine the difficulty when try to remove the strap. Very painful and downright difficult.

First let me say that I have tried every strap lock mechanism out there in my 40 years of playing guitar. The problems I ran into with the "popular strap lock" systems included:1.) Require special hardware be mounted to each guitar2.) Extend the strap away from the guitar body, can bend the strap button screw if excessive force is placed downward on the guitar (I used to jump around a lot when I played).3.) Did not fit in most guitar cases with the strap on the guitarAfter my tests of the other products, I eventually came up with a solution on my own. This was to use a metal washer on on the outside of the strap button to keep the strap from coming off. This solution had 1 major drawback, you could not remove the strap from the guitar without unscrewing the strap button. As a result I would up purchasing a strap for each guitar.These strap locks work in the same fashion as my metal washer, with the major exception that you do not have to remove the strap buttons to attach or remove your strap.One caution is that these do not work with all strap buttons, the "Gibson Style" seem to work best.Finally a strap lock system of my dreams for less than $5!
