Just one finger
is all that is needed
to open and close
EasyOpen^® rings.

A unique delayed tension feature means EasyOpen rings won't pinch if your fingers happen to get caught between closing rings. Once fully closed, the rings lock automatically and the tension fully engages to secure your papers.

EasyOpen rings are so unique and so much easier to use, they are the first binder to have received the Arthritis Foundation's Ease-of-Use Commendation.

EasyOpen locking rings are available in both Slant-D^® and Round styles. See ring capacity guide for number of sheets each can hold.

Pre-formatted templates make it easy to create attractive and professional-looking inserts for the cover. Available with Slant-D shape rings.
