Lightweight Cord Control for Garments, Bags and Outdoor Products
This top-press plastic cord lock is designed for products that need reusable drawstring adjustment without a permanent knot. Its single-hole configuration guides the cord through one shared channel, while the lightweight plastic body suits jackets, bags, sportswear, footwear, camping accessories and suitable technical textile products.
With a 14.5 mm / 0.57 in width, 26.5 mm / 1.04 in length and 7 mm / 0.28 in cord-entry opening, it is a practical choice for manufacturers using a relatively wide cord channel and a compact vertical stopper body.
How Does the Top-Press Structure Help?
The press section allows the user to reposition the cord when adjustment is required. Once the selected position is reached, the locking structure helps hold the cord in place. This makes it useful for tightening a hood, gathering a bag opening, securing a shoe cord or managing drawstring length on sports and outdoor products.
A cord lock and a cord end perform different jobs. A cord end normally finishes the end of the drawstring, while a cord lock creates an adjustable control point along the working cord.
Recommended Applications
- Jacket and coat hoods
- Waist and hem drawstrings
- Bags, sacks, pouches and protective covers
- Sportswear and outerwear
- Footwear and boot lacing systems
- Camping accessories and tents
- Suitable cords, laces and round elastics
What Does the 7 mm / 0.28 in Measurement Mean?
The 7 mm / 0.28 in value refers to the cord-entry opening. It should not be treated as a guaranteed compatible cord diameter. Soft braided cord, firm filled cord, elastic shock cord and smooth synthetic cord can behave differently even when their nominal diameters are similar.
Check the compressed cord thickness, surface friction, stiffness and the number of cord ends passing through the channel. A sample should be tested for insertion, adjustment and holding performance before bulk production.
Single-Hole or Double-Hole Cord Lock?
This model has one shared channel. It is suitable when the design uses a single cord path. Two fine cord ends may fit through the same channel when its real capacity allows, but this must be confirmed with the production cord.
Select a double-hole cord lock when two cord ends must remain separated and travel through independent channels. Other structures are available under Plastic Cord Locks.
