How can I enlarge the inner hole on these cord locks? The cord locks are brass-plated, but I’m not sure whether it’s plastic or metal underneath. The outer hole is 5mm in diameter; the inner is ~4mm. I need the holes to be enlarged so the cord end fits through. Any ideas? pic.twitter.com/66d37qSc1W
