You deserve better than a cheap cord lock manufactured overseas that will simply break on you again. Our cord locks are made in America and fit tons of different drawstrings and types of cord. They can be used with everything from shoelaces, packs strings, drawstrings, pants closures, paracord, and a variety of outdoor and gym products. Compressing the closure to thread the cord is easy to do. Once the cord has been threaded through the pre-aligned holes the stainless-steel spring mechanism will grip and hold any cord tightly. This opens tons of possibilities including lanyards, tie-downs, or any other applications that required easy one-hand adjustments. Our cord locks are suitable for uses involving exposure to any weather or elements. Use our cord locks in many applications including apparel, sporting goods, and industrial. Choose from packages of 6 to 1,000. To preserve the spring for on-demand cord lock use, some ellipse cord locks may come un-activated. To activate these cord locks PUSH DOWN HARD ON TOP OF THE LOCK TO MAKE THE SPRING POP - you will hear a clicking noise when locks are activated.
