Metal Single Hole 23 mm Size and 6 mm Hole Diameter Stopper B0024

This single-hole metal cord stopper combines a 23 × 17 mm (0.91 × 0.67 in) body with a documented 6 mm (0.24 in) cord opening. Made from zinc alloy (zamak), it can be evaluated for drawcord adjustment points on bags, jackets, hooded garments and other textile accessories. A well-chosen stopper can make a drawstring easier to handle and provide a neat metal finish. For the best result, match the actual cord to the opening and test how the assembled part moves and holds during use.

Where a Single-Hole Cord Stopper Can Help

Drawcord details are found on bags, outerwear, sportswear and utility textile projects. The purpose of a stopper is to help manage the drawcord at the desired position. That function depends on the cord's structure, its surface and the way the part works on the finished item. The catalog lists a variety of potential use areas, but this should not be read as a guaranteed fit for every cord or garment.

Dimensions to Check Before Ordering

The 6 mm figure describes the cord opening, not the body's overall size. Before purchase, measure the actual drawcord under normal conditions. A soft braided cord may compress in the opening; a firmly woven one may behave differently. Passing through the hole is only one aspect of compatibility. You should also check whether the component moves smoothly when adjusted and behaves as expected when the cord is under tension.

How to Test a Cord Stopper on Your Project

Use the real zipper bag, coat, hood or other item intended for production rather than judging the stopper only as a loose component. Thread the intended cord through the opening according to the applicable product design and assess its movement. Look for twisting, abrasion or unwanted slipping. If the cord is very loose in the opening or difficult to insert, reassess the combination rather than forcing an unreliable fit.

Repeat the adjustment a few times to see how the cord surface responds. When preparing garments or bags in quantity, check an approved sample after changing the cord material, supplier or braid construction. Identically labeled cord diameters can behave differently because of their construction and flexibility.

Matching the Metal Finish

Choosing the finish after confirming functional fit can make the overall design feel more considered. Compare the stopper with zipper pulls, rings and other bag or garment hardware used nearby. The product attributes mention nickel-colored stock as a common option and recommend asking about alternative finishes, but availability can change. Use the current product options and consider a physical comparison sample if exact color consistency matters.

Practical Ordering Checklist

1. Measure the finished cord instead of relying only on a supplier label.
2. Compare it with the 6 mm (0.24 in) documented opening.
3. Check the body dimensions against the available space.
4. Test movement and retention on the actual item.
5. Confirm the selected finish and current available options.
6. Record the approved model and cord type for repeat orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What diameter cord opening does this stopper have?

The documented cord opening is 6 mm (0.24 in). Test the real cord for clearance and behavior.

Does 23 × 17 mm describe the opening?

No. Those are the listed body dimensions; the opening is separately listed as 6 mm.

What material is the stopper made from?

The product's material attribute specifies zinc alloy (zamak).

Can I use it on hooded garments or bags?

These are listed among possible applications, but each cord and finished design should be tested.

Which metal finishes are available?

Review the live product options; alternatives may need to be discussed with the team.

What should I test before a bulk order?

Verify cord movement, holding behavior, finish and actual assembled fit using a representative sample.
