very reliable and easy to install.
I had purchased these Harley Benton strap locks along with several other products, for my Harley Benton SC500BK, which is a really heavy guitar, and single cut style guitars usually need strap locks.
These strap locks really are amazing, and very easy to install onto the guitar, and the padded strap that i had also purchased.
Considering its a very basic product with a VERY simple locking mechanism, its not different at all from how schaller strap locks work, so you're getting more than your moneys worth.
In terms of pros: very good looking, very reliable, and easy to install
In terms of cons: nothing really.
They can hold the guitar VERY well onto the strap, and no matter how hard you're jamming out, the strap locks will NEVER become unlocked from the strap buttons NOR the strap itself.
Just remember to get the right sized wrench and bolt the locking mechanism tight to the strap, and to use a screw driver to screw the buttons onto the guitar itself. other than that, its not labor intensive AT ALL, and a very good and safe modification for ANY instrument.
cant recommend these enough, honestly. 10/10 gave it 5 stars!

Yes, yes, and yes!
At first, I was a bit sceptical, as I didn't know whether they would be good or not, considering the fairly low pricetag.
When it arrived, I was a bit surprised, as they turned out to be bigger than I imagined them to be. However, not a problem at all. The packaging was flawless, and when I opened it up, it felt really good. Solid metal, nice gold finish, nice weight to it. And then when I noticed that you can take off the lock function, and use it as a normal strap button as well, I fell in love! You might not want your strap to be locked in every case, and like me only want to use it for gigging, and at home just play without a strap, and this is such a genius design!
Definetely gonna use it for my next build as well!
Pros: Quality, packaging, finish is great, genius design, pricing, feel of the materials,...
Cons: None, like really, none. Not one single thing.
Thanks to all you amazing people at Thomann and Harley Benton for this amazing product and packaging and service!

Best for the price
No significant complaints except a clicking noise when they move around too much. Does the job solidly and locking mechanism is inspired by a well known brand like fhaller. For this price you can definitely get these and have some peace of mind about the strap not falling off.

Probably not the best option for the money
First of all, the locks meet their fundamental purpose. They hold my guitar in place and I personally did not have any accidents during my one year of using them.
Two minor issues that I found disturbing:
The screws wide enough (at least for my epi les paul custom) and the locks tend to get loose every once in a while (two/ three weeks). I try to make sure they are tight every now and then but this could possibly lead to the locks sliding out of the guitars if left unnoticed. An easy workaround to this would be to replace the screws with wider ones or to add wood glue for a stronger grip with the guitar's body.
Also, the locks sometimes make a squeaky sound. The lock itself is quite bulky and this can be quite noticeable when playing, especially when you move around. Sometimes this noise is heard through the amp as well. Other strap locks I have used on different guitars do not have this issue.
Overall, if you are not willing to spend more on strap locks, this product will work for you, but if the above issues seem important to you, you can probably get something that works flawlessly for a few more $$

Pretty decent
I'd say they are pretty decent for the price. The only thing that could be better is the golden color because it wears out relatively quickly.

Everything you would need
Pro:
- Easy installment
- Feels secure when installed
- Comes with felt washers to avoid metal against the lacquer
- Cheap
Con:
- Only one size screw (might not fit all guitars without ajustment)
It does one job, and it does it very well. The price can't be beat either. Fits my G5655TG perfectly.

Harley Benton Security Locks GD
I bought this for my B-450 Harley Benton 6 string bass, they where very easy to put on the pre-existing holes, they are of good quality, and very convenient for putting the strap on and off without fear of my bass falling and breaking.
9/10 I'd buy again
