The Best Guitar Straplocks...in my Opinion! Dunlop Straplok Strap Retainers with Dual Design. 

Thanks for the demonstration. Super helpful for someone considering strap locks!

Thanks for showing these locks. I always wondered how they worked.

My son use Dunlop on his guitars, I use Schaller. Both works fine. Just remember to check that they sit tight once in a while and you're good to go.

Made a purchase decision after this video. Thank you, Sir!~

Absolutely agree, have them on all my guitars with two straps options for Les Paul shapes and V and Explorer shapes with retainer flipped at one side. Rock solid.

Literally just after putting a set of these on my new Precision Bass. A great choice, super easy to install!

I agree their my favorite as well!

Getting that retainer clip on can be tricky. Pliers and patience with quite abit of force. Thanks. I use a Music Nomad pristine Philips head to get stiff leather down so the rod-ring can come up in view. You make a good point with putting these on all your guitars, certainly your favorites. Thx for the demo.

They are great, going to get a set, thanks for the video .( Dave. UK ).

I just put these on my Explorer and I love them. I like how low-profile they are compared to Schaller style straplocks.

I had Shallers before. Too bulky but more importantly, noisy. Clanging everytime the strap moves. 😂

Bought a couple gig bags from my local guitar shop and found a set of these in the side pockets of each bag. Installed both sets on a couple basses and they work great. I use Lock -It straps on the rest of my basses and they are a reliable alternative but the Dunlop Straplock system is rock solid. The fact that the components installed on your instrument are just strap buttons is great. Schallers funky design isnt compatable with anything else and other systems require you to attatch pieces of strap onto the instrument and those have plastic clips that are going to scratch the shit out of your finish while your instrument is in the CASE😳

At 6:27 The think I really dislike about Dunlop strap locks is that they are just too stinking narrow to fit comfortably on most straps. I definitely prefer the Schaller strap locks.

Can you use the original screws ?

Thanks for the demo, but they're not for me. I can buy a decent new strap for the price of these straplocks. (AUD$35-$40 each) :( I have used the hard rubber rings on all my guitars for years without any problems. Simple, secure and cheap.

Hi Steve, thank you very much, your video is very helpful. I wish I had seen it before I bought the Schaller S-Locks for my guitars. The Dunlop are much more practical to use with the breech. And the disadvantage of the Schaller is that they are so long and stand on the floor when the guitar is in the floor stand. There is a permanent risk that the guitar will simply tip out of the stand. I measured, the Schaller stick out 3.5 cm from the guitar. :-( Can you tell me how much it is at the Dunlop? If that were less, I would immediately switch to the Dunlops and invest the money. It's annoying when you constantly have to be careful not to shred your instruments.

Hello, I have a quick question. Do they allow full rotation of the strap without unscrewing the buttons while doing that? Bc I've been using Shallers and they completely ruined the holes they are installed into by rotating buttons with them, so I'm looking for some alternative now...

will the new ones (dual design) fit on the old (original style) pins, in other words are they interchangeable?

The plastic clips that hold the bag closed on a loaf of bread. Put the strap on the guitar button, slide a bread clip on top of the strap and around the button shaft. Been using for years of gigging and practice, never had one fail.

Going to try these. Bought the Schaler style. The round button you pull on broke off on all of the,. I would love these if you can buy the strap buttons separate so I can share 3 or 4 straps with 20 guitars.

Many thanks for the comparison with Schaller. I considered Schaller for about a nanosecond until seeing your vid. I'll stick with the reliable Dunlop.

The schaller is far superior. The Dunlop ones can slip out. That’s literally impossible with the schaller design.

Thanks but no thanks I’ll stick with Schaller S locks. I Had Different style Dunlops years ago, threw them out and never went back to using them

There is literally no comparison between the Schallers and the inferior Dunlop’s. The Schaller strap locks are superior in every facet, save for cost. You get what you pay for! Lol There are two types of players who use Dunlop strap locks: those who’ve had them fail and those who will have them fail. My comparison is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BSInOEmEqhU.htmlsi=94VxIHG0b1Pr-e7g

Getting the retainer in there made me want me through everything away. The design sucks.

There no good. for a Taylor guitar , you need a specal configuration for a Taylor
