All user reviews of 4/5 for the Schaller Security Lock

I use two security locks branded Schaller for over a year. I have not tried other brands / models. I have one in your "Black" in 1446, and in a "Ruthenium" 449 (more expensive: € 21.80).

They have an excellent finish, their use is convenient, and highly reliable. It should however be a bit of practice to always succeed the first time the maneuver, to hook or unhook the strap.


The initial set of straplocks is him, not necessarily obvious ...

First, to place the threaded parts, hand strap, the holes in the leather, it's not very easy if the leather is thick and hard: the thread is not very long. Engage the nut on the thread then ask more or less effort depending on the material and thickness of the strap. But it must be a problem on most of these systems, I guess ...

Then, in my case, the screws were smaller than the original screws in my bass and my guitar (Ibanez both). Therefore, I did not want to use them in the holes in the wood, too big for them!

So I had to enlarge the hole of straplocks themselves so that they accept the screws holding Ibanez. This was done quickly and without any difficulty, with a drill, a vise and a drill metal.

I think, without much complication or embarrassment perspective reliability of the method, a dual-format screw could have been expected!

But hey, if it is just a little handyman, it will not pose a problem to enlarge the holes in the straplocks.


I really appreciate the combination of security of attachment straps with the ease with which you can remove them and put them back, all this without using leather straps and eyelets!

A very relevant purchase.


There are certainly cheaper, but I really wanted in this case a total system reliability. Moreover, the tone Ruthenium does not exist elsewhere than in Schaller, I think, and he was absolutely necessary for my bass, which is colored accatillage "cosmo black", so very close to "Ruthenium". So taking the obligatory "Ruthenium" in Schaller, I decided to take the "Black" with them also.



Note: compared to a previous opinion, I prefer, I drill into my straplocks roros to 20, in my instruments to several hundred roros! I really think that the solution of the enlargement of the holes in the straplocks is easier to implement technically, the safest practice, and less financially risky! The enlargement of the hole is not, in principle, of a magnitude that would jeopardize the strength of the parts themselves.

It's been four days that I use.
Handy, especially when you've got expensive guitars you want to see miserably crashing to the ground. Yeah AC would be a shame ...

I did not try at Dunlop's model, I only know one who is well thought it must be said. It looks complicated at first but in fact it is easy and efficient.
Think occasionally tighten the proximity switch is installed on the nut that holds the strap fastening system that is located on the strap and is fixed to the party is on the guitar.

I took two pairs, installed on a Stratocaster and a Les Paul. Beware if the strap is too thick, must touch a bit (removing a little material at the hole of the strap) because it's not fit otherwise.

Value / price means it's a shame because it is convenient but it's really expensive for what it is.
But two products in one: avoid his guitar back down.
Allows you to detach / attach the strap to the guitar many times as you want without enlarge the hole in the strap may break and / or dropping the guitar. Practice!

Yes of course I would do with the experience that choice. But this time I will not buy them, I'll steal because it's too expensive.

I use strap locks for only a few hours because in trying to reassemble, I quickly learned that the holes made after the previous screws were too big so I had to plug the hole with wood glue to screw new screws, hand strap, everything was done quickly, easily and instinctively. The fact that Strap Locks are available in all colors of hardware is a Verygood good point, however, this problem of hole and screws and very ambarrassant. € 15 is more than reasonable, it's cheaper than repairing the guitar after you've done with the fallen standard belt clips ... With experience, I do it again because this choice straplocks Schaller straplocks are the most reliable system with the strap / Straplock DiMarzio guarantee of quality!

I use it for 6 years.
(Since my bass made a mchante fall on the floor because the strap fixed silent evil ...)

+ What I like:
is its System. It really inspires confidence, I think I can do anything with the guitar or bass: never detaches the strap does!

What I like -:
Its price ... the era I pay 2.5 times the price of Warwick ...

I also availing oneself of Straplock and Dunlop Warwick home

Is what I would do this choice:
No and it simply because of price.
I chose the Warwick team almost all my basses and guitars.
It must be said: the warwick really inspire less confidence than Schaller!

Technical:
The systm is DIFFERENT for each straplocks: Schaller must be shot at a stem for free while in the strap and Dunlop Warwick have to push ...
However, it would (conditional ^ ^) easier accidental free strap systm with it ... (But has never happened to me!)

In comparison: Schaller and Dunlop are approximately the same price ... So I chose the eyes closed Schaller.
The Warwick is 2 times CHRE.
Question: do they take into 2fois worse? - Answers to: No ...

I recommend this product, it is probably the most sr's march ... but it does justify the price?
(And since I'm stingy I put only 8 ^ ^)
