Loxx Strap Lock System for Guitar and Bass - Nickel Reviews

I've had a few cheaper styles that didn't appeal to me either because they looked to be cheaply made, or clumsy on/off design.

I've not had any issues with these whatsoever. More color options available directly from the manufacturer.

I've had these locks on my #1 for quite a while now, and while I do generally like them a lot, there are a couple things about them that could be improved: First, the fact that you have to use that special wrench bugs me, especially since I use Levy padded straps which are twice as thick as typical straps. It was a pain in the *** to get the threads to even engage before I could tighten it down, and the force required to do so made it difficult with that tiny wrench—even with pliers. Once I got them on though, they haven't loosened. Second, they are wearing out, in a big way. The ball bearings are eating away the button that goes on the guitar. As such, they are loose and make a lot of noise, and I will have to replace them soon, either with the same or something else. I never had to replace Schaller strap locks, but the fact that those make so much noise when they start to wear made me look for alternatives in the first place.

So, to review: Good locks, but the threads need to be longer to accommodate thicker straps, and they need to last longer, maybe made from a harder material.

Been using strap locks since the 70s... all flavors. Tested these out, and now have them on 9 guitars that I perform with. Yes, the screws are slightly bigger than any of my guitars (2 Les Pauls, 83 Kramer, 82 Dean, 83 Ibanez AR100, 2 Reverends, Andy Timmons Ibanez & a custom build), but gives a solid grip. I sling my guitars on stage, and these are rock solid... plus dead easy to put on the strap or remove. Great idea!

These low profile locks are a must have if you strap attachment point is located on the back of your guitar. I have used them all and thesse are just as good if not better, the key feature of these is the slim profile.

I bought a set of these for my Gibson Les Paul traditional. Within about three months the guitar almost hit the floor twice. On the button closet to the neck it started wearing away at the ball end.All you had to do was turn the strap and it would pop off. I contacted the manufacturer and was told to return them and they would send me a new set. I returned them and never heard from them again. Switched to Schaller and never looked back.

Easy to install? That's IF the screw size on your guitar is the same.
I have a Fender Strat and the original screws are MUCH smaller than the ones that come with this product. So I guess it you have the nerve to drill out the hole yourself and risk cracking/chipping the finish or are ok with shelling out to take it in to have it done you are taking a chance. The add says

...Works with virtually any guitar and strap combination...

The Loxx strap lock system works fine, and the price is a good one. The posts are easily installed in the existing holes with a socket wrench (the tool Loxx provides for this is quite small, and being slick chrome, is hard to hold) and the two-part button that secures the strap itself also works. The Loxx 'key' that clamps the top and bottom halves of the button is part of the tool mentioned above, and it also is pretty hard to maneuver. But hold on to it -- you will need it to tighten (or remove) the button from the strap, should you want to swap out straps.

The buttons can be easily removed from the posts with a deliberate squeeze and release motion, but while in place they are quite secure.

Very satisfied with these strap locks; the only drawback is handling the small implement.

These strap locks are simply the best I've ever had! Well worth twice the price I paid.

This is the first time I have used the LOXX, having previously used Schaller (which I am happy with wanted to try these as they were recommended). Installation is straightforward (tool provided in kit). Very easy to attach and detach the strap when required, and they certainly seem strong and secure.

By far the best set of locks I've ever had. They are very easy to install (although you may have to enlarge the holes in your strap a bit), they look great, and allow 360 degree movement. I also like the extra large grip button to unlock them. The only drawback is having to have a special tool for installation. The actual pin poses no problem, but removing the strap part of the lock requires the spanner wrench (included with each lock set)

I'll be ordering these for all my guitars.

Very easy to install, just don't lose the tool that comes with it to loosen/tighten the part on the strap. Seems pretty sturdy, I don't jump around on stage but with a 200lbs force limit I don't see anyone having any problems with this coming loose (unless your guitar for some reason weighs more than 200lbs).

I've used a few different brands of strap locks and they all seem to do the job well.
I like these locks because they fit close to the guitar and do not stick out far like most locks do.
They may not be as strong as other brands claim to be but I doubt you would ever exert more than 200 lbs of pull on your guitar strap anyway.
Well made, look good and are priced good.
