FAQs

What is the main purpose of these cord locks?

They are designed to secure elastic cords and drawstrings, preventing them from slipping or loosening on items like clothing, backpacks, and sportswear.

What size cord can these locks accommodate?

They are suitable for cords and drawstrings around 2.5mm in diameter, which is a common size for many elastic applications.

How do I attach the cord lock?

Simply thread the cord through the single hole, press the spring to allow movement, slide the lock to the desired position, and release the spring to secure it.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are made of durable plastic and are suitable for many outdoor applications like securing tarps or gear, though prolonged extreme weather exposure may affect longevity.

What is included with the product?

The product typically comes with 50 pieces of black plastic spring cord locks and approximately 10 meters (32 feet) of 2.5mm diameter elastic cord.

Can these be used on non-elastic cords?

While primarily designed for elastic cords, they can be used on non-elastic cords to cinch them, but they might not provide as secure a hold as on elastic material.

How durable are the plastic spring mechanisms?

The PP plastic is durable for regular use. The spring-loaded design is intended to provide a secure grip without being overly difficult to operate.

Troubleshooting

Cord lock not holding the cord securely

Ensure the cord is properly threaded through the hole and the spring mechanism is fully engaged. Check if the cord diameter is appropriate for the lock's hole size. For very slippery cords, a double knot on the end might add extra security.

Spring mechanism feels stiff or difficult to press

Gently flex the spring mechanism a few times. Ensure no debris is obstructing the spring. If the issue persists, the lock might have a manufacturing defect.

Cord lock breaks during use

Inspect the cord lock for any existing cracks or stress points before use. If it breaks, replace it with a new one. Consider if the application is too demanding for plastic cord locks and if a metal alternative might be more suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Thread your cord or drawstring through the single hole of the cord lock.
  2. Depress the spring mechanism to allow the cord to slide.
  3. Position the cord lock at the desired location on the cord.
  4. Release the spring mechanism; the cord lock will grip the cord.

Compatibility:

These cord locks are designed for use with elastic cords and drawstrings approximately 2.5mm in diameter, fitting common uses for clothing, bags, and sporting goods. They are compatible with materials like PP, polyester, and nylon cords. The single-hole design is best suited for securing one cord at a time.

Care:

Clean the cord locks with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
