Bottom stops are the metal components found toward the bottom end of the zipper that closes off the 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.
#7 stops are recommended for #7 and #6 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 or nylon coil zipper.
- Brass stops pair best with brass metal zippers and with molded plastic zippers and nylon coil zippers with yellow hues (think yellow, gold molded plastic zippers).
- Antique brass stops pair best with antique brass metal zippers and with molded plastic zippers and nylon coil zippers with brown hues.
- White stops pair best with white molded plastic zippers and white nylon coil zippers.
- Black stops pair best with black molded plastic zippers and black nylon coil zippers.
Note: Bottom stops are used as top stops on nylon coil chain.
