How to fix a zipper that has fallen off?

I believe everyone is familiar with zippers. In daily life, we often come into contact with zippers. For example, zippers are almost indispensable on people’s clothes and pants. In today’s society, there are many types of zippers. There are many types based on materials alone. The most common ones are metal zippers, and there are also resin zippers, nylon zippers, etc. So if one side of the zipper falls off, how should it be repaired?

How to fix a zipper that has fallen off?

First, use pliers to pull off the top big tooth of the zipper, and pull both sides.

Then pull the zipper lock to the top and merge the teeth on both sides together.

Then put the zipper lock in (it is somewhat difficult because the diameter of the metal zipper is relatively thick. If it really cannot be put in, cut a small hole in the diameter. Remember, do not cut where the big teeth are installed, but cut near the top, otherwise the big teeth cannot be installed)

After the zipper lock is put in, install the big teeth and everything will be OK

If the chain is not opened and closed smoothly, if you pull the chain head hard, it will cause tooth engagement failure. At this time, apply paraffin or lubricating spray [Zipper Partner] to the surface and inside of the teeth, then move the slider several times and it will slide easily.

If you really don't know how to do it:

When opening and closing the zipper, sometimes the chain head bites the thread segment or fabric and the slider cannot be pulled. If you forcefully pull the slider, the bite will get deeper. You should push the slider back while untying the fabric. When it is fully bitten in, do not pull the slider with force, but slowly pull it back. Also, do not leave any hidden dangers when sewing the zipper.

The zipper pops open after being zipped

This problem is caused by the slider being pulled for too long and its diameter becoming larger. If you want to solve it temporarily, just use pliers to clamp the tail of the slider. Note that it is the tail, but be careful not to use too much force or clamp it off-center. If you want to solve it completely, you have to replace the slider. Most shoe repair shops will replace the zipper for just one or two dollars. Repairing a zipper is actually very simple.

Rub the drawing pen over the teeth. Rub the tip of a drawing pencil along the teeth of the zipper so that a layer of pencil dust is left on the teeth.

Pay attention to the problem areas of the zipper, as these are the roughest and need the most lubrication.
