| A cord lock is a small mechanism, often made of plastic, that is attached to a drawcord to secure it in place, allowing for easy adjustment of tightness and looseness. When the cord lock is damaged or missing, the drawcord becomes non-adjustable. |
|
| This guide will demonstrate how to replace a cord lock without the need for sewing. To ensure this solution is applicable, confirm that at least one end of the drawcord is not sewn into the item, allowing for the cord lock to be removed without undoing any stitches. |
