Wider flange button provides extra security.
The Dunlop Straplok System is designed with the artist in mind. 360° groove-and-ball design allows the unit to rotate without catching. The strap retainers are easy to install and operate. The case-hardened steel skin guarantees long life. The same strap can be used with several guitars as the strap button is interchangeable. Release-tested up to 800 lbs. of pull; it won't come loose. Complete set (2 units for instrument and strap) adapts to instrument by replacing existing strap pins and screws with special Straplok System brand buttons and screws. 2 strap attachments are included.

What's not to like? You get a quality set of strap loks that allow you to snap your strap on and off easily BUT when connected is very secure. Item worth having to protect your guitar from dropping while playing. Solid construction, quality plating, easy installation. I have them on all 11 of my guitars, my bass. Go the extra money and get a set and protect your guitar investment.
Features are a swivel style straplok that attaches securely to where you removed your old strap mount. The Dunlops feature a slightly larger screw so that you securely get a bite on the wood, they go a bit deeper as well to ensure more contacts for safe and secure attachement. Then you attach a collar with the push-in post through the strap (this could take a bit of doing or even trimming the leather to allow the clamp collar to snap into it's groove. So you push the post through the strap enough to expose the clamp ring, drop a matching finish washer over the post, and slide the C clamp securely over the push in post. All that remains is to push in the pin, which retracts the small ball bearings enound to allow the post to slide into the strap lock on the guitar, release the push in pin and the balls extend out and secure the post deep inside the strap lock. It cannot be pulled out, in fact, you'd risk perhaps yanking the strap lock out of the guitar body first. Best of all, they swivel 180 degrees so you have complete freedom of motion.
Solid quality, nice finishes, heavy plating. Best of all is a good screw phillips head that won't strip out as you're driving it into the guitar blocks. Hint: if it gets too tight and you still haven't secured the strap lock end to the guitar, compressing that little piece of felt that was on the guitar, you may want to remove the screw, and with a much tinier drill bit than the screw, drill out the hole so that the screw isn't trying to drill a new hole, You'll still get a nice secure fit. What happens if you mess up and strip the screw hole? Grab a couple of toothpicks, I like the pointy rounded ones, snap them in half and slide both halves into the stripped screw hold small end first. You may even want to add a drop of Tight-Bond wood glue for insurance. The toothpicks are now wedged into the oversized hole when the screw mashes them up against the holes oversized walls. The screws will bite the toothpicks, glue will make it all secure. Let it rest overnight before attaching the strap loks.
Hey, you spent a lot of MONEY, scrimped, saved, toiled, and slaved to buy your new guitar. To protect it, you want the security a good set of straploks will give you. Cheap insurance to keep from dropping your pride and joy.

Don't waste time on others. Get these.
These are the best. If you have tried the Schaller (or Fender clones) these are superior. The Schallers have multiple problems.
If you use a thick leather strap, the Schallers are nearly impossible to get the strap, washer and nut over a thick strap. It limits your ability to torque down the nut on the strap. Next thing you are looking for the nut on the carpet floor of your studio or gig.....
Oh yes, and if you can't find that Schaller nut, your strap lock system is worthless. Go down to Lowe's, Home Depot and/or Ace Hardware to try and find replacement nuts for the Schaller system. You won't find them....
The Dunlop's are great. They use a C-pin to lock, can accommodate thicker guitar straps and there isn't hardware that can come un-screwed on the strap. If you forget your strap and have to borrow one that doesn't have Dunlop locks on it, the buttons on the guitar are flanged and wide enough to keep a backup strap in place and get you through your gig. Don't waste time on others...get the Dunlop's.
Very good. Strong. Good design. Well thought.

Comments about Dunlop Dual-Design Straplok System:
I have used the Strap Lok System before on other instruments and so, with the purchase of my new guitar, using Strap Loks was a must. Prior to using them, I nearly dropped a bass and since, have never had a close call like that. My only regret is that there is not a specifically designed Strap Lok to work with the attachment point at the bottom of the guitar. This is due to its dual function as the plug in for the instrument cable as well as the place to attach the bottom of a strap.

Comments about Dunlop Dual-Design Straplok System:
I don't play a guitar without these if I can help it. Relatively easy to install (except sometimes on the upper horn of a strat body - the angle can be tricky). Make certain you use the included screws. Other screws won't work with these. Never had a set wear out, never had a set fail.

Picked it up for a Warrior with built in recievers. Takes some effort to set up on thick straps but solid connection and ease of use is the reward. Not sure I'm ready to convert all my instruments to the system just yet.
