Question About an Item

It is possible. When placing your order, please write in the remarks field which zipper you would like to have the top stop changed to a U-shaped stop. An additional charge will apply due to the change. We will inform you separately of the payment for the price difference.

You can purchase them only if they are to be attached to WALDES zippers purchased from us. Please contact us via the inquiry page.

It is nickel-colored. Nickel silver has a slight yellow tint like a 500-yen coin, but nickel color is a whitish, bright silver color.

Yes, it is possible. As a general rule, if nothing is specified, metal zippers come with sliders in the same color as the element, and other zippers come with sliders in the same color as the tape color.
(Sliders with an attached pull tab are available in metal color only.)
The slider color shown on the product page is for reference, so the color will vary depending on the zipper you order.
If you would like to change the slider color, please note it in the order memo.

Please choose a CA, ZA, ZF, or other slider that can be fitted with a pull tab afterward.
The difference between CA and ZA/ZF is whether a pull tab can be attached from the base or not.
Pull tabs are sold by various manufacturers, but the specifications determine whether they can be attached to CA or ZA, so please check carefully.
The color options for retrofit sliders are limited to metal colors only.

Basically, we are unable to accept orders for sliders only, but it is possible to arrange them if they are ordered together with a chain zipper or used for a zipper previously purchased from APPARELX.
In that case, please contact us via the contact form on the Support Page with the type and size of the YKK zipper you purchased, the slider color, the slider product number, and the quantity. We will reply after confirmation.

If you note the desired upper and lower sliders in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will change them to the sliders you want and arrange the order accordingly.

The booklet-type FASTENING SENKA has now been discontinued. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it can be downloaded from YKK's website, so please check there.

You can determine this from the second letter of the slider product number.
“A” = automatic lock (the slider locks automatically when you let go of the pull tab, and unlocks when you pull the pull tab)
“F” = non-lock (a slider with no locking function, regardless of the position of the pull tab on the body)
“N” = notch lock (a notch is attached to the shoulder of the body, and it locks when opened by bringing the chain against the shoulder)
“W” = reversible (pull tabs are attached to the front and back, so it can be opened from either side)
“U” = reversible (an automatic slider with one pull tab that can move along the rotating rail and can be opened and closed from either the front or back.)

If you enter your preferred color and slider in the zipper memo field when placing your order, we will make the change and arrange it for you.

As for zipper inventory, products other than 2CHC concealed zippers are not stocked in the exact length you specify. For made-to-order production, we can process a longer zipper to make it, which shortens the delivery time but increases the unit price. If you want it processed from longer stock and need it right away, please select "Delivery priority (higher unit price)."

The article below is about coil zippers, but it also explains zipper inventory.

We generally do not accept orders for hardware only, but if you arrange the zipper chain, we can arrange it for you.

If the length you want is not available, please write your desired length in the order memo when placing your order.
If the unit price changes, the person in charge will confirm it and contact you by email.
