I've never had any problems with these Schaller strap locks & honestly, I've been using mine for 15 + years & twice that long if I count the sets of locking tuner that are a little different design (that ones that all the cheap knock offs "copy"). The old ones required a half-inch or maybe a 14mm wrench, but these don't . The don't require any hammering or drilling of your guitar (I know that may be disappointing to some) & really only require two tools:
1) A Phillips Head (or whatever type your current screws are) screwdriver to remove the screw holding your current end pin.
2) A hex head (Allen) wrench to screw these in.
Both of which should be part of any electric guitar or bass player's tool belt. Especially if you play out. Just a word of advice here? Leave the tools you use for breaking your car in the garage & buy some tools JUST for your guitar. Your guitar with thank you & you'll thank me. While it is true that "A bad workman blames his tools". Here's my quote for our times, "A good craftsman is only as good as their tools let them be". Don't make your poor guitar suffer because you're to cheap to buy good tools.
I used to buy the cheapo jobs, thinking, "They're all the same..." but I got tired of messing with the cheapo strap locks. When I couldn't even get them on the strap correctly, I finally snapped & went back to my tried & true Schallers. These are flawless. I never have a problem getting the strap locks on or off a strap & it just takes a few minutes to remove the current pins, screw in the new ones (with an Allen Wrench) & install the hardware on the strap, which takes nothing but your fingers (ahh. German Engineering at its finest). Also, because the pins that screw into the guitar to replace the current buttons are hex head (you need an Allen Wrench), they go in easily & securely. Even more importantly, they stay put. In the past, I've had the brands strap locks & they just used the Phillips head screws that your current strap uses. I've had them strip right out & had the strap just pull the screw right out of the guitar on one of my Strats. I had to pour Super Glue in the hole, then screw the screw in & hang the guitar upside down so the glue wouldn't drain out before it could dry & wait 24 hours before I could use the strap. I'll also probably never get that screw out. So far I haven't need to. If that would have happened to my SG or LP, I'd be writing this from wherever they put old musicians when they lose their minds.
Wrapping it up. Finally. They are a little more expensive than some, about $25 - $30 for a pair, normally. They did go on sale one time about 5 years ago, but the sale only lasted one or two days & they were maybe 20% off. I try to just remember how badly I felt when my guitar went one way & the strap didn't & that I wouldn't buy a crappy cheapo car seat for my kids when they were small. They got the best, because they are the best. They're irreplaceable. Both my kids & my guitars. When I think about it, spending $20 or $30 to secure a $2,000 or $3,000 guitar is probably a wise investment. They also come in a cool little plastic box. 😁
They are expensive, and considering the low quality original design produced by Shaller over the last couple of decades, I was reluctant to try them out again.. but I did... I'm happy to say that they are indeed, once again, a worthy purchase.
You will need an allen wrench to install the screws, and a very small screwdriver like the kind to fix glasses, neither of which are included. The new design allows for thick leather straps, which is what I use, and I have not had a problem with fit on any strap I have used. You'll need that small screwdriver to tighten the nut on the strap, which keeps it well attached and is a welcome addition.
The old original design had a problem with installing the screws in the original hole. A common trick was to insert a toothpick to help with the grip. The new button and screw are combined, self threaded, and the old hack is no longer needed. You will use your own allen wrench to screw it in. Works great.. HOWEVER I have noticed one issue. On my Fender Strat Elite, which is made of ash, the screws slowly unscrew from the guitar body. No, I do not move around alot, this is from just regular playing, taking the guitar on and off, and it takes several weeks, but all of a sudden I'll look down and see the strap attached perfectly to the button, but the screw has come almost all the way out. A quick grab of the allen wrench and all is good again, until a couple of weeks later. So, this is something I have to check on constantly. FYI, it has not happened with any of the other guitars I use these on. My Les Paul, Telecaster, Flying V, Explorer, and several others have not exhibited this issue. I think it has to do with the Ash wood and the tight grip of the new design. Perhaps a little glue might help.
The new design promised to be quiet. Those of us who used the original design will all testify how noisy and clattery they were. You could actually hear the noise through your guitar amp. The new ones have indeed solved this problem brilliantly and is a very welcome addition to the design.
They are expensive, but worth every penny for those who wish to protect their fine guitars from the damages that can happen all too often when a strap pops off the button. You'll need a couple of your own tools, and those with ASH guitars may wish to either keep an eye on those screws or try some glue.
All in all. I do highly recommend the new design and definitely warn other guitarists to NOT purchase the older design, or even use it if you got it for free. They are flawed. The new design is well done and has proven once again that Schaller makes a great product.

Il titolo dell'annuncio invece diceva correttamente che si trattava di "Set Security Lock Completo" ma la foto mi ha tratto in inganno.
Ho tenuto alla fine il prodotto perché ne avevo bisogno urgente (button sul body si era spaccato e non teneva la tracolla) e comunque il modello vecchio Shaller è assolutamente affidabile, ma do' 2 stelle per mancanza di chiarezza sull'annuncio
Superbe couleur ruthenium
Montage facile à 5 min.
Très bon rapport qualité prix.
