A Practical Adjustable Stop for Drawstring Products
This single-hole plastic drawstring lock creates a movable adjustment point on compatible cords, laces and round elastics. It can be considered for coat hoods, sportswear, bags, footwear, camping accessories, protective covers and other products where the user needs to tighten or release a cord repeatedly.
The top-press structure supports quick repositioning, while the plastic body keeps the component lightweight. Its 14.5 mm / 0.57 in width and 26.5 mm / 1.04 in length provide a visible but compact control part for medium and larger drawstring applications.
Designed for a Single Cord Channel
The product uses one shared opening rather than two separate holes. This makes it suitable for one-path drawstring layouts. If two ends must stay separate, compare double-hole models before placing a production order.
Two fine ends may sometimes share the opening, but actual capacity depends on their combined compressed thickness. Production compatibility should be established with the final cord rather than estimated from appearance.
Understanding the 7 mm / 0.28 in Cord Entry
The stated value describes the opening in the stopper body. It does not guarantee compatibility with every cord sold as 7 mm / 0.28 in. Braided construction, core density, elasticity, surface finish and stiffness affect both movement and holding behaviour.
A useful sample test should answer three questions:
- Can the cord be threaded without damage?
- Can the user adjust it comfortably?
- Does the stopper provide suitable holding performance after release?
Suitable Product Groups
- Coats, jackets and hooded garments
- Joggers, sportswear and outerwear
- Bags, pouches, sacks and protective cases
- Shoes and boots
- Camping products and tent accessories
- Compatible round cords and elastic drawstrings

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this drawstring lock do?
It helps adjust and hold the working position of a compatible cord without requiring a permanent knot.
Will every 7 mm / 0.28 in cord fit?

Does it have one or two cord channels?
It has one shared channel. Choose a double-hole model when two ends must remain separated.
What are its dimensions?
The body measures 14.5 × 26.5 mm / 0.57 × 1.04 in, with a 7 mm / 0.28 in entry.
