Finding the right Clip&Zip slider

How do I find my cursor / slider?

We will try to help you find the right cursor the first time.

STEP N°1: DETERMINE MY MESH TYPE (and not the material of the slider !)

Mesh = teeth of your closure.

NB: All our sliders are made of cast zinc, and when we indicate PLASTIC, SPIRAL NYLON OR METAL we are talking about tooth materials and not the material of the cursor!




METAL TEETH


They are often straight, with a small hook, very easy to recognize!

We will categorize METAL tooth closures in reference A.

3A, 5A, 8A, will only fit METAL tooth closures and 10A will only fit METAL and PLASTIC closures.



PLASTIC TEETH

We recognize them visually by the material but also by their shape with a square base and rounded tip!

We will categorize closures with PLASTIC teeth in reference B.

3B, 5B, 8B, will only fit PLASTIC closures and 10A for METAL and PLASTIC.

SPIRAL NYLON TEETH

As in the image, the closures with the spiral nylon teeth are very tight together.

We will categorize the closures with the SPIRAL NYLON teeth in reference C.

3C, 3CB, 4C, 45C, 5C, 8C and 10C will only fit SPIRAL NYLON teeth closures.

STEP #2: DETERMINE THE SIZE OF MY CURSOR

There are several ways to find the correct slider.

a) Measure the width of the teeth when closed/engaged WITHOUT THE TISSUE ( then refer to the product sheet for the slider you need).

b) Look behind the slider if there is a number that can indicate the size. If there is a 7, this corresponds to size 5 at Clip&Zip slider, this indicates the standard size of the slider.

c) If the teeth are impossible to close to measure the width, measure the width from the INSIDE of the original slider, without the metal edges, only the interior.

IF YOU HESITATE BETWEEN SIZE 3 AND SIZE 5:

SIZE 3: never for a coat, if the size you measure for a COAT is closer to 3 always take size 5! Unless there are exceptions, contact us before.

To give you an idea, size 3 is the size of the flies regardless of the teeth. For 3CB spiral nylon it is the size of small purse pockets or suit flies.
SIZE 5: this is the STANDARD size, therefore the most common. If there is a 5 on the sleeve housing or the slider, you must take the size 5 slider.
