#5 Zipper Top Stops

Description

Top stops are the metal components found toward the top end of the zipper that keep the slider from running off the zipper tracks. When shortening a zipper or replacing a zipper slider, use these to replace the top stops you have removed. They are also known as "top stoppers" or "top ends."

#5 top stops are recommended for #5, #4 and #4.5 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 with yellow hues (think yellow, gold molded plastic zippers)

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

- White stops pair best with white molded plastic zippers

- Black stops pair best with black molded plastic zippers

Note: Bottom stops, not top stops, are typically used as top stops on nylon coil zipper chain.
