Do the come in black?
You could always put a pad lock on it. You don't want people changing it on you haha

I like it, but the one thing I hate with trem blocks is the audible click it makes when it meets the block.

^^ You could always stick a small strip of rubber at the contact point.

The thing I like about it, is that it is very simple and is a very Inexpensive.

It's so simple it's genius. How has no one ever thought of this before?

That's pretty genius, and IMO better than the Floyd Rose Trem Stop

Thats very cool. It took me a minute to realize it's some sort of cabinet latch.

Re: The Floyd rose lock block.

Does the bolt stay in place when you don't have it blocked, or does it rattle around?

Edit: Wow. I just posted this, and by the time I clicked over to the article, it had already been updated:

Update
I had some queries and concerns as to whether the barrel-bolt rattled when playing. This understandably would be annoying if it did.

I’m happy to report that at the very least, the barrel-bolt I used does not rattle in any way that interferes with the tone of my guitar.

So it rattles, but not much.
