Dunlop Straplok Dual Design Strap Retainer System - Black

Yes, the Straplok system is designed to be attached to your existing strap by replacing your standard button holes with the provided locking mounts.

It is compatible with most standard electric guitars and basses, provided you have enough wood to securely mount the new screw.

You will need to replace your original strap buttons. While this is standard, it technically modifies the instrument from its factory state.

The Dual Design allows the strap to be used with the lock engaged, while also allowing the guitar to be used with a standard strap in an emergency.

It is good practice to check the screw tightness during every string change or before major performances.

Check for any accumulated debris in the groove. A small drop of instrument-safe lubricant can often resolve stiffness in the ball-bearing mechanism.

Do not over-tighten. If the screw spins without gripping, remove the screw, insert a small amount of wood glue and a wooden toothpick into the hole, let it dry, and reinstall the screw.

Ensure the lock is not under tension from a twisted strap. If the problem persists, check that the internal spring has not been obstructed by dust or grime.
