#5 aluminum zippers are made of medium-weight metal and feature teeth that measure approximately 5mm (1/4 inch) wide when zipped. Zippers separate at the bottom, jacket-style. The zippers have a silver finish. These are one-way zippers (they have one slider).

The wire pull slider allows for easy gripping (perfect for when wearing gloves!), and the hole in the pull tab allows for attachment of a fabric or leather swatch, if desired.

This zipper is right-handed unless you check the box for "make left-handed."
