Bottom stops are the metal components found toward the bottom end of a closed-bottom zipper. Bottom stops are only found on closed-end zippers. They are also known as "bottom stoppers." Bottom stops can also be used to convert separating zippers to closed-end zippers.

These bottom stops are 'x' shaped and are most commonly used on metal and molded plastic zippers. They are NOT meant to be used on nylon coil zippers. 

#3 stops are recommended for #3 and #2 zippers.

Not sure which stop to get?  

- Silver stops pair best with nickel and aluminum metal zippers. They also pair well with any color molded plastic zipper.

- Brass stops pair best with brass metal zippers and with molded plastic zippers with yellow hues (think yellow, gold zippers).

- Antique brass stops pair best with antique brass metal zippers and with molded plastic zippers with brown hues.

- Black stops pair best with black molded plastic zippers and any metal zipper with black tape.
