Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can you make me one in a different color, or longer/shorter, or with different hardware?
A:
Short answer is "no". I buy paracord in 1000' spools in Black, Gray, and Blue. The shortest length of the quality I use is 100'....that makes about 5 lanyards of one color. if I make them 2 colors, then I have to buy two 100' lengths, and can make 10 with it. That means if you want a pink/purple lanyard, after I sell you one, I'm  stuck with enough cord to make 9 more that will likely not sell. I know this because I used to do it, and got drowned in weird colors that I'm still trying to sell from time to time. I buy my hardware the same way, in batches of 100 to 500. I just dont have the means to make special orders. Sorry.
Q: Are the plastic bullrings and carabiners really that durable?
A: YES. I work in Corrections, and I've used my original lanyard since 2013, and I haven't had any issues at all with the plastic hardware. I carry a ring daily that has a Folger-Adams key, two to four Adtek keys, a Mogul key and eight standard keys with no issues at all. If the plastic carabiner still concerns you, wal-mart sells aluminum carabiners 2 for (in the towing/tool section). I used one for a while on my prototype, and it would still clear the metal detector half the time. I make these so that the plastic carabiner can be easily removed/replaced if you choose, but you’d have to cut off the bullring to replace it with a carabiner. You might be able to get a metal ring and open it enough to slide it on, then clamp it back closed...or use a keyring. YMMV.
Q: How do you attach it?
A: You can either use a belt clip (like a ZakTool), a standard width belt keeper or just run the lanyard behind your belt, and run the carabiner end through the ring (which will reduce the usable length by a couple inches.) I use a velcro belt keeper without any issues.
Q: Where should I attach it to my belt at?
A: If you look straight down at a person from above their head, and think of a clock...straight forward is 12 o’clock, and directly behind is 6 o’clock...I prefer to attach mine at about the 1 or 2 o’clock position. If you’re left-handed, then 10 or 11 would work well. I’ve seen a few people wear theres at 3 and even 4 o’clock. It’s all a matter of whatever works for you.
Q: Have you had any complaints or issues with these yet?
A: No. Not a single one. I encourage everyone that’s purchased one to write an honest review. If you have any issues, please let me know so I can address it for you, and in future construction. I have sold these to Police Departments, Jailers, State Corrections Officers in multiple states, TSA agents, Security Guards, and even made one for a lady in a wheelchair that wanted an easy way to retrieve dropped keys. These things are solid!
Q: I accidentally machine washed it, and the shrink wrapping is a little loose now...what do I do?
A: Use a cigarette lighter and slowly run the flame over the shrink wrapping, it should shrink down a little tighter. Be careful not to leave the flame on the bare paracord for too long since it'll melt. You might be able to get this to work twice, maybe not, so be careful not to wash it in a machine too many times. I recommend handwashing, if/as needed. If the wrap is beyond repair, you can usually find it at any electrician store, and I've even seen it at Harbor Freight. It's just 3/4" electrical wire heatshrink that I slide on for aesthetic reasons. The lanyard will still work just fine without it.
