I've always had problems installing the schaller straplocks on the thicker leather straps. The problem I have is the straplock shaft is always bigger then the hole in the strap so it's trimming, squeezing, and swearing to get the things on. I was cruising the isles in a craft store waiting for my wife to get some stuff and found a leather punch there that works great. It's a tandy leather punch #14 size 3/8" and it works great to make the hole in the strap the same size as the straplock. It just slips on after that and tightens up nice and tight. I found a link to one on amazon so you can see what it looks like:
