Strap lock recommendations?

My Warwick strap locks have worn out and snapped off right in the middle of filming a music video..

Which strap locks did you find reliable? Afaik Schaller and Dunlop offer some, but I've never seen them in use.

I'm late to the party but I just use the rubber seal from this kind of bottle on all my basses. It's cheap and reliable.

Yo that’s actually pretty smart!

I am using the ones from Ernie Ball. So far I am happy with them. But be aware that the strap will be about 1.5 to 2 cm away from the body of the bass. It is just a matter of taste, but you should consider that.

That’s fine! The Warwick ones have a similar distance. I also found out what’s wrong with mine: The body attached lock is so worn out that the spring loaded balls slip out of their locking groove.
