Bottom stops are the metal components found toward the bottom ends of closed-bottom zippers. 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 for nylon coil zippers. 

#5 bottom stops are recommended for #5 molded plastic and metal zippers.

Not sure which stop to get?  

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

- Silver bottom 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.
