Cord Lock Pulley 3-Slot
These high-quality Cord Lock Pulleys are the very best available. They operate using a simple mechanism of one smooth plastic roller bar and one toothed metal roller bar. The cords are threaded so that they run between the two rollers. Swinging the cords in one direction locks the cords, swinging in the other direction unlocks the cords. A Cord Lock Pulley is attached to the wood headrail using two screws, which are included with the pulleys. If you use a cord lock, you do not have to use a cord cleat.
Do NOT use a 3-slot Cord Lock Pulley if you are using 0.9 mm lift cord.
