Best Guitar Strap Locks of 2025

"As a long-time guitarist, I decided to try these strap locks after my lead guitarist suggested them. They were super easy to install—I just swapped them out for the existing clips. Now I can quickly change guitars with the same strap, and it feels much safer!"

"I was initially hesitant about these strap locks because they seem to easily come off with a button. However, after tightening them with a wrench, they’ve been fantastic! I love how easy it is to switch straps, and it fits perfectly when I display my bass without the strap!"

It's straightforward to install and incredibly secure, giving me complete peace of mind during performances. This system perfectly balances durability and usability, and I wholeheartedly recommend it!"

"Having learned the importance of strap locks the hard way, I always choose these for my instruments—except for my Rics, which need a different kind. I order these immediately after getting a new instrument to ensure it’s ready for rehearsals or gigs. My first bass had an unfortunate accident, but I will never let that happen again!"

"I've been using strap locks for quite some time now, and they generally work well. However, I encountered a problem recently with a pair on my resonator guitar that failed after a couple of years. I suspect the interior of the guitar fitting wore out and became less snug. I recommend replacing your Dunlops yearly if you play out frequently to avoid any mishaps."

"I believe Schaller is the best strap lock available. I use it on all of my most precious gear, and it hasn't failed me yet. I found that most straps don't have a hole that's big enough for the button, but I solved that by using a cheap set of leather punches. Overall, it's a great product for the money!"

"I’ve equipped all of my bass guitars with these strap locks because they work GREAT! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable strap locks."

"I've been using this brand since my first Tele in 1990, and I’ve never had an issue over the years. The strap locks are not bulky and look fantastic. They provide the peace of mind that my guitar will stay securely attached, no matter how much I bounce or pull against the strap. For ultimate reliability, these are definitely a must-have!"
