Zippers made with metal teeth go back to 1893, when Judson Whitcomb patented the first Slide Fastener.
Great advancements have been made since that first interlocking device was developed. Today, LENZIP offers metal tooth zippers in 2 different gauges (weights), 2 different tape widths and 4 distinct finishes.
The #5 gauge is a medium weight zipper with standard 9/16" tape width or a wider 3/4" tape width. The #10 gauge is a heavy weight zipper available in 3/4" tape width.
