A device for locking a guitar strap to a guitar has a slotted base with one slot for receiving a guitar strap through it, and a second slot for mounting to the strap peg on the guitar. The second slot is keyhold shaped and has an entry portion and a retaining portion, the entry portion being large enough to receive the head of the peg, and the retaining portion being narrow enough to prevent the peg head from passing through it. A slot blocking lid is hinged to the base and pivotable about the hinge to close so that the entry portion of the slot can be blocked when the peg has been received in the retaining portion of the slot. A retainer strap is secured to the base at one end remote from the hinge, and extends through a slot in the lid, also remote from the hinge, and fastened by a snap fastener adjacent the hinge to hold the slot blocker lid in locking position until the retainer strap is intentionally released. The arrangement of the retainer strap is such that it has a very large mechanical advantage impeding the inadvertent release thereof.

A strap lock comprising: a base having first and second slots therein, said first slot being oriented and configured to receive a strap through it, and said second slot being oriented and configured to receive an anchor post; a blocker associated with said base and operable between an unlocking position and a locking position, said blocker being positionable in said locking position to limit movement of an anchor post in said second slot; a blocker retainer on the base and movable to a retaining position to hold said blocker in said locking position; said base and blocker being made of one material in one piece with an integral living hinge connecting the base to the blocker; said blocker including a blocking wall therein movable into position blocking a portion of the second slot when said blocker is in said locking position; said blocker retainer being a retainer strap having two ends, with one end anchored in said base and the other end having the first part of a snap fastener thereon, and a second part of the snap fastener being fixed on said blocker, the location of said snap fastener parts being such that when said blocker is in said locking position, and said retainer strap is in said retaining position, said first and second parts of said snap fastener are connectable and oriented in a position relative to said blocker and said base such that said blocker has no effective fastener-opening leverage on said retainer strap.
