Jim Dunlop Straplok® Strap Retainers Dual Design - Black Oxide

Excellent product! Fit perfectly with my guitar, no drilling needed.

I’ve been using Jim Dunlop Straploks since 2020, and they’re now the first thing I install on every guitar I buy. I currently have 17 guitars, and every single one of them is fitted with these. The build quality is excellent - solid, reliable, and easy to fit. Once installed, they lock securely and give complete peace of mind when playing. I’ve never had a strap come loose or a guitar take a fall since switching to these. They look great, work flawlessly, and after years of use, they’ve proven to be incredibly durable. Quite simply, nothing else comes close.

Have a set of these on almost every guitar I have. Do kind of wish it was a little lower profile but these have never failed me yet.

I’ve been using Jim Dunlop Straploks for close to 30 years now and I still swear by them. Every one of my guitars has the strap buttons installed, probably around 20 guitars at this point. One of the nice things is you can buy the buttons separately, so you only need one or two straps and can swap them between guitars in seconds. You can also still use any strap without the Dunlop strap system. They lock in solid and give a lot of peace of mind, especially with heavier guitars. I honestly couldn’t tell you how many times they’ve saved one of my guitars from hitting the floor, but I’m sure it’s been dozens over the years. They’re one of those products you install once and never really think about again because they just work. For me they’ve become standard equipment on every guitar I own.

I was not confident that my new strap would stay put on my new guitar so found these and their great reviews to steer me correctly. Install was very easy, just go slow installing the mount studs. I was able to wax the screws and get them home without adding the fear of a drill slip. My new Les Paul Red Widow is good to go and the locks natural pivot movements make sliding over my head that much easier. Money spent only once if you choose these.

These are fantastic. Strong and reliable. Been using them for years.

As a session guitarist/bassist, I have a rack full of guitars and basses that I am constantly switching between during recording sessions. I ALWAYS use a strap when I play, and for a long time, I was just using the traditional type that slips over the stock strap buttons that come on every guitar. That system worked fine for a while, but I prefer keeping a dedicated strap on each guitar to avoid wearing out the straps and strap buttons, so as my instrument collection grew, the whole system started to become messy and unwieldy. Straps would become tangled, and my guitars wouldn't sit properly in the rack stand and would hang up when I tried to take one out. Perfect recipe for nicks and dents. I decided there had to be a better way. After doing quite a bit of research, I chose to convert all of my guitars and basses over to Dunlop Straploks. The main determining factor for me was that I really liked the push button design, as it would allow me to quickly and easily move a single strap between all of my instruments. I also liked that I could order additional strap buttons at a reasonable cost without having to order more of the full installation kits than I needed. And speaking of installation, the process was was simple and quick. I had my entire collection finished in under an hour. The one issue I did run into with these is that they did not work at all my with PRS Custom 24. PRS uses oversized strap buttons and screws, so the existing screw hole was already too large for the included Straplok screw, and the head of the original PRS screw was just slightly too big to fit through the Straplok button. So I guess I will be keeping the stock strap buttons and a traditional strap on that guitar. Aside from that one problem, these have been really great. Highly recommend.

In Relation zu dem Konkurrenzprodukt vom Hersteller „S……r“ aus Germany,das ebenfalls seit Jahrzehnten mit ähnlich gesicherten Gurtschlössern wirbt,ist das Original Dunlop Straplok Strap Retainer System aus den U.S.A. ganz klar das weitaus bessere Sicherheits-Gitarrengurtsystem Set! Die Vorteile des besagten Dunlop Straplock Systems: Kein lästiges Klappern der metallenen Gurtschlösser,da die Verbindungen faktisch exakt aufliegen. Der Dunlop Schließmechanismus läßt sich sehr leicht durch das Gurtloch schieben. Dieses System ist genial! Falls die zwei Gitarrengurtenden mal nicht mit dem originalen Schließmechanismus versehen,bzw. verfügbar sind,ist es auch problemlos möglich die Dunlop Gurtpins an der Gitarre mit einem Gurt,der nur die üblicherweise vorgestanzten Löcher besitzt,zu benutzen. Die robusten Dunlop Gurtpins sind konisch geformt,und erlauben es durchaus auch mit einer normalen Gurtlochung zu funktionieren,falls ein montierter Gurt mit Schließsystem mal eben nicht vorhanden ist. Der breite konische Dunlop Gurtpin wird dann einfach durch das vorhandene Gurtloch übergestülpt. Es ist dann jedoch nicht so optimal gesichert,wie mit dem vormontierten Dunlop Schließmechanismus,hält aber wenigstens wie ein normaler Gurtpin,da der Dunlop Gurtpin breit genug ist. Es ist aber wie schon bereits gesagt,nur eine Option,der vollständig umfassende Schutz,um die Gitarre sicher am Gurt zu befestigen,ist nur bei korrekter Montage sämtlicher beigelegter Original Teile gewährleistet! Mein Tipp: falls die vorgebohrten Löcher im hölzernen Gitarrenkorpus für die Gurtpins bereits ausgeleiert sind,genügt es,einfach ein abgelängtes und leicht gespaltenes Streichholz (gerne aus Kastanienholz und ohne Zündkopf!) oder einen auf die Länge zugeschnittenen Zahnstocher in das jeweilige Loch zu stecken,damit das ausgeleierte Loch wieder gefüllt ist. Dieser kleine,aber effektive Trick ermöglicht sofort wieder einen besseren Halt der Schrauben,und man erspart sich den ünnotigen Kauf einer speziellen teuren Holzpaste! Wichtig: Bitte unbedingt bei der Dunlop Straplok Montage an den beiden Gurtenden darauf achten,daß die 2 beigelegten Sicherungsringe (so genannte Sprengringe) stets korrekt einrasten! Die genaue Montage der Sicherungsringe ist sehr wichtig,weil nur dadurch gewährleistet ist,daß das Schließsystem auch optimal funktioniert! Folglich müssen die Sicherungsringe bei der Montage (siehe Fotos!) bis zum Anschlag in die vorgesehene Nut geschoben werden. Der Sprengring darf sich dabei aber noch leicht um die Achse drehen,dies ist absolut unbedenklich und technisch so vom Hersteller konzipiert. Resümee: Die originalen Dunlop Straplok Sicherheits Gurtpins sind sehr solide und wirklich sauber verarbeitet. Die Handhabung ist bei korrekter Montageanleitung sehr einfach. Mein Fazit: dieses Sicherheitssystem ist de facto das mit großem Abstand beste Produkt,das derzeit auf dem Markt erhältlich ist! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist zweifellos absolut fair! Volle 5 Sterne in der Gesamtbewertung! Unbedingte Weiterempfehlung!

Probably the best strap lock available on the market! The push/lock system is very well made and easy to use when you need to remove it quickly without worrying about the safety of your guitar. **The only negative point that I can flag is about the installation. The ''C clamp lock'' are very difficult to place and if your strap is not thin as mine was, it will be a lot more difficult. You have to take your time and do it well. In my case, I used a plate screw driver to help pushing the C clamp and it did the job pretty well. Once it installed, I guarantee that these's strap lock are the best you'll have for your instrument because they are solid/well made and can't loose as the C clamp is cliped there and so it don't depend on a nut screwed as some other strap lock model have. Personnaly, I have tried many model of strap lock for my guitar and these are definitely my favorite.

Love these strap locks and trust them a lot.more than other brands that are available.

La partie côté sangle du Straploks est assez large pour ne pas glisser au travers d'une grande boutonnière ou simplement une boutonnière usée. Lors du montage, le clip servant à maintenir le straplock à la sangle peut être difficile à clipser sur des sangles un peu épaisses mais une fois en place, il ne bougera pas. Coté maintient de la sangle à la guitare pas de souci, un fois inséré dans la partie fixée à la guitare (avec un petit clic), on peut marcher, courir et sauter le straplock assure le maintient de la sangle à la guitare sans faillir.
