Auto Lock Guitar Hanger

The Donner Guitar Wall Mount Locking 3-Pack looks and feels a bit cheap, but it does the job. If you’re just looking for an affordable way to hang your guitars, these work fine. There’s probably no reason to spend more unless you really care about aesthetics.

Before these magical Auto-Locking Guitar Wall Mounts came into my life, my guitars lived in constant peril—teetering on stands, leaning against walls, and occasionally launching themselves into the abyss like rock stars diving into a mosh pit. But no more! The Auto-Lock is Pure Wizardry. I love not having to worry about these falling. They automatically grab my guitar when I hang it up and release it like a loyal butler when I lift it. It’s like my guitars have a personal valet. It handles all my stringed children: my acoustic, my electric, my bass, and even my ukulele, which now sits proudly instead of getting lost in the coat closet. My oddly shaped headstocks? No problem. These mounts don’t discriminate—they cradle everything like a loving parent. Installation was easy. The process is drill hole, insert anchor, screw in hanger—done. Simple, right? Unless you’re me, who once tried assembling IKEA furniture and ended up with three extra legs. But even I managed to install these in just minutes, so that’s saying something. I love the look... now my guitars float elegantly on my wall like they're part of an exclusive exhibit at the Museum of Rock. My friends walk in and immediately assume I’m cooler than I actually am. 10/10, would let my guitars flex again. Unfortunately, this mount has dramatically increased the efficiency of my metalhead brother-in-law. He can now go from parking his car outside to filling the house with Metallica riffs in about 3.7 seconds. It’s impressive... but also slightly terrifying. My ears and my sanity are still adjusting. So if you’ve ever had the heartbreaking experience of watching your beloved instrument take an unscheduled trip to the floor, get these mounts NOW. Your guitars will thank you. Your walls will thank you. Your soul will thank you—just be prepared for spontaneous shredding sessions if you have any aspiring rock gods in the family.

This locking wall hanger mount works exactly as advertised, providing reliable security and ease of use. Its build quality is solid, ensuring durability over time. I initially ordered three to test them out, and after a year or so of consistent use, I was so satisfied that I ordered six more. I should note that I didn't use the provided mounting hardware, as mine are mounted directly to a piece of custom-cut wood. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for keeping a guitar secure and safe.

Seem very sturdy. I do think the opening is a little wide for my two Strats headstocks. Makes them hang a little crooked. No way I would hang my Telecaster in them as I feel it would slip through. Hard spot as I am sure it needs to be this big for an acoustic or perhaps a Les Paul. Super easy to install although the bolts included to hold the two pieces together could be a tad longer. I really cranked down to get them close to flush. Would also like to see the nut be a locking nylon nut. You don’t want this coming apart. Personally I would like some that are not stood off from the wall as far but again they would need to be this way if you had an acoustic or a hollow body. Just something to think about. Overall I am happy with them. Will check back in after they are up for a few months. While I am a handy guy and it was a no brained that I would need better anchors to hang my prized instruments in drywall, not everyone is. For gods sake put a piece of paper in the box telling people to NOT use the provided hardware to hang in drywall!

As I’ve gotten older, I realize that convenience matters. For just about everything. But specifically for playing guitar. In the past, I placed my guitars safely in cases or gig bags, and then stowed them away in a closet until I had the overwhelming urge to pull them out and noodle. Of course, that was a problem. I can sum that problem up with an old truism: “Out of sight, out of mind.” Turns out I didn’t pull them out much. Consequently, I didn’t get much better, even after some 30 years of owning guitars. On a whim, I ordered a 4-pack of cheap guitar hangers off Amazon (Huhu brand) and hung them in my bonus room. Then I hung my 4 favorite guitars. Immediately, I found myself playing guitar every day. Just to be clear about how much of a dramatic change this was--It’s quite possible that, in the past, I’d gone entire years without picking up a six-string, and now I was playing every single day! Additionally, guitars are great decor. They made my man-cave far more manly, let me tell you! Who needs overpriced art work when you can just adorn your walls with a sunburst Fender Telecaster instead? So you may be wondering when I’m going to get around to talking about the Donner Guitar Hangers. That starts now. You see, I still had three guitars to hang, and while I liked the Huhu hangers, I wasn’t a big fan of their rubbery gasket pieces that were designed to keep the guitars from accidentally falling off. They worked, but seemed a bit too flimsy. So I noticed that Donner offered an auto locking version. Since I was already a fan of Donner products, I figured I’d give them a shot. They’re great. I installed them easily, using nothing more than a phillips head screwdriver and a magnetic stud finder. Everything else (bolts, screws, and nuts) comes with the hangers. In less than five minutes, I had all three mounted. The auto-locking feature is a clever design. As you place the guitar in the holder, its weight pulls down and activates the auto-locks, which tip up like flippers on a pinball machine, holding the guitar firmly in place. Well done, Donner!

Great product and super easy installation!

Comes with two sets of hardware to mount, easy to install and looks great. The pressure based locking mechanism is really cool too!

Unfortunately it's not compatible with both of the guitars I wanted to hang. For Fender Telecaster, the clamp is too wide, and the guitar is not secured safely. For Fender Jazz Bass, the clamp simply is not aligned. Other products allow rotating to accomodate for uneven head shapes, but not this one.

These wall hangers do exactly what they’re supposed to do. Installation was quick and straightforward, and once mounted, they feel solid and secure. The auto-lock feature works well and holds the guitar firmly in place without scratching or putting pressure where it shouldn’t. I’ve used them with both acoustic and electric guitars, and they handle the weight with no issues. The padding is soft enough to protect the finish, and the swivel design helps keep the guitar sitting properly on the wall. Overall, good build quality, clean look, and no surprises. If you’re looking for reliable wall hangers that just work, these are a safe buy.

Was not sure if I would like these , when they came , I was still unsure but once I had put them up and the guitars were in them they look great, very easy to fit they screw into the wall very well and they are well and truly on ,very sturdy well made ,the release mechanism is very good ,lift up to unlock put the guitar in to lock, and as i said they look excellent not expensive, well made so if your looking to free up some floor space these do the job, very happy ,in fact I ordered some more today

These are perfect. Just what I needed for my music room to mount my guitars on the wall. The wall fixings provided are good and the screw length appropriate for the weight of a guitar and bass guitar. The locking mechanism works very well to keep things safe (no horrors of falling guitars). One feature that I really like is that the headstock mounts swivels a few degress to accommodate headstock that have uneven shoulders - eg fender strat headstock. Foam padding seems good too. Overall very pleased with the purchase - I bought 4 units.

Estoy fascinado con estos soportes, llevaba tiempo buscando así que opte por comprarlos y estoy satisfecho con el producto. El material es muy bueno en su mayoría plástico pero muy resistente y lo que me gusto es que donde descansa la guitarra al colgarse tienen ese mecanismo para que de frente tenga unos pasadores que cierran al tener el peso del instrumento, y las almohadillas son suaves por lo que dan esa seguridad de que no dañara el cabezal de la guitarra/bajo, la separación del muro me agrado así no se golpean los instrumentos, y el tamaño al principio los creí algo grandes pero al poner el instrumento ya no los notarás. La instalación es fácil solo que opte por cambiar los taquetes con los que venían los soporte por unos de mejor calidad pero los que incluye también funcionan. Los recomiendo mucho, siento seguros mis instrumentos.
