Schaller Buttons S-Lock Classic (without screws) as accessories for S-Locks

With Schaller Security Locks, we developed and patented a completely new product in 1981, probably the most secure connection between guitar and strap.
In contrast to our regular S-Lock range, where the strap pin and fastening screw are made of steel in one piece, the S-Lock Classic is the perforated strap pin sleeve, which is fastened via a separate fastening wood screw (not included in scope of delivery).
Both versions offer Schaller's proven quality for securely fastening the strap to instruments such as guitars or basses.

Assembly of S-Lock Classic strap buttons

• If there is no hole drilled in the bodywood, choose a suitable drill diameter depending on the type of wood and the suitable wood screw (according to the screw thread inside diameter).
• If the hole is too large, make it smaller (e.g. with wood glue and a suitable wooden dowel) and drill again.
• If necessary, countersink separately in the area of the outer lacquer layer (around the drill hole) to prevent the lacquer from flaking off when the suitable wood screw is screwed in.
• The strap button should sit completely on the wood; if necessary, first flatten the wood.
• Carefully screw the strap button with felt washer and suitable fastening screw into the existing drill hole. If the strap button is too tight, unscrew it again and gradually drill out the hole in the wood.
• Tighten the strap pin "hand-tight" until it reaches the body of the instrument. Do not continue to use force. The wood may break, the varnish may flake off and the strap button may break off.

Please note:

» Please check the secure fit of the belt pin in the wood regularly and tighten the screw if necessary or reduce or close an expanded hole and re-drill it as described.
» Do not change the factory dimensions of the S-Locks Classic strap buttons  (a change to the purchased item is not a material defect - see Schaller GTC). Any changes to the original product dimensions, e.g. widening of diameters by drilling, will inevitably result in damage to the component and thus the loss of the protective function of the S-Lock.
