NEW Schaller S-Locks - Protect your Love
In 1981, Schaller developed and got the patent for a totally new category of product, which revolutionised the connection between guitar and strap. With its unique design and functionality, Schaller has been setting the standard in strap locks for decades.
Strap button
New and unique solid one-piece strap button in hardened steel with self-tapping wood thread. Simply screw it on with an Allen key (size 3mm/ 1/8").
4 mm/ 5/32“ screw with self-tapping wood thread for maximum hold in wood for almost all instruments with existing screws in standard dimensions; for all other cases we offer strap buttons in L and M format (see below); in any case, please read our installation instructions below carefully;
Hardened steel and more than double thickness of the strap button guarantees maximum security against breakage,
Including high-grade felt washers for ultimate protection of guitar's finish.

New designed slanted locking bolt in stainless steel for permanent precision, reliable performance and wear-free finish,

Lock-Wheel
New Lock-Wheel with unique 3-Step security function:
Screw our lock wheel with patented self-locking thread tool-free by hand, you already protect your guitar sufficiently (the round shaping must be facing the pull-up ball!).
Use a 2 mm or 5/64’’ Allen key or screwdriver to tighten it for maximum security.
Use our micro cone-top screw M2,5x5mm to attach it permanently.
You will never lose your wheel again!
Assembly instructions Schaller S-Locks
The Schaller S-Locks come in an attractive re-usable crystal box that you can use as a storage container after removing the protective foam.
It contains:
2x Strap button with high-grade felt washers
2x Locks
2x Lock-Wheels
Assembly of the strap buttons
Screw the strap buttons with attached felt washer into the existing holes by hand with a 3mm/1/8" Allen key. Please make sure that the strap buttons sit fully on the wood, if necessary, first rub the wood flat.
We recommend choosing the strap button first to match the size of the existing hole in the guitar.
If the hole is too big or too small, please choose a different strap button or reduce / close / re-drill or extend the hole.
If necessary, countersink separately in the area of the outer lacquer layer to prevent the lacquer from flaking off when screwing in the strap button.
Carefully screw in the strap button into the wood and, if it is too tight, unscrew it again and gradually drill up the drill hole.
If the strap button is too easy to screw in, then reduce or close the hole and drill again appropriately.
Tighten the strap button "hand-tight" to the instrument body. Do not continue by force. The wood may break, flake off the paint and tear off the strap button.
Please check the secure fit of the strap button in the wood regularly and retighten the screw if necessary or reduce or close an enlarged hole as described and re-drill.
Assembly of the locks on the belt
Insert the lock through the hole in the strap.
The lock is on the inside of your belt and the threaded hole for the lock-wheel on the outside. The open side of the lock (U-shape) points in each direction to the belt, so that the instrument can later safely hang in the lock.
If the hole in the belt is too narrow or there is only one slot in the belt, please cut away a piece of the belt in a circle (10mm) so that the thread can be easily pushed through the lock without the leather parts standing upright. Otherwise, the lock wheel can not be securely fastened and the lock and lock wheel can disengage.
Installation of the Lock-Wheels (3-stage safety concept)
Turn the lock-wheel clockwise onto the thread of the lock. The flat side must point to the belt; the rounded side up! Make sure that the small set screw in the lock-wheel is not screwed inwards and destroys the thread.
Use a 2mm/ 5/64’’ Allen key or small screwdriver through the 2-hole mount for an even tighter fit of the lock-wheel for maximum grip
Screw in the set screw with a cone tip and slot 2.5x5mm with a screwdriver until it stops. This will lock the thread and the lock wheel will not release.
Function of the S-Locks
Pull the lock over the strap button without pulling the ball upwards until the lock clicks into place and the bolt lowers into the strap button.
The instrument hangs in the U-shaped lock and is thereby held securely.
Check the secure fit. To do this, try to pull the lock without pulling the ball from the strap button. The lock must remain engaged and must not be pulled down by the strap button. The ball must sit on top of the thread.
To release the lock, pull the ball and pull the lock sideways away from the open side of the lock
