A cord closure having a housing with an open end, a surrounding side wall and a closed end which forms a cavity for receiving a plunger. The plunger has a body with a throughhole alignable with holes formed through opposing sides of the housing and a stem extending from a shoulder portion of the body with a resilient retaining member on a distal end portion of the stem. A bias spring is disposed about the stem of the plunger and is releasably retained in compression on the plungerbetween the shoulder portion of the body and the resilient retaining member. At least a portion of the body and the stem of the plunger are reciprocally disposable in the cavity so that the throughhole of the plunger is alignable with the hole formed through opposing sides of the housing to permit threading of a cord through the aligned holes of the cord closure without the bias spring urging the plunger away from the housing. The housing includes a release means disposed in the closed end of the cavity for engaging the resilient retaining member to release the bias spring from the releasable retaining member when the plunger is depressed into the cavity of the housing whereafter the bias spring urges the plunger away from the housing to engage andretain the cord threaded through the holes of the cord closure.
