How do I put the zipper back if it falls off?

Zippers are often used in daily life. No matter where the zippers are, we must master the correct way to use them, because zippers have different adaptability in different environments, and zippers of different specifications and materials also have a certain range of adaptability. Zippers are mainly divided into ordinary and special types, so we must master the usage environment of the zippers. If you accidentally knock off the zipper head, you can put it back according to the following method.

How do I put the zipper back if it falls off?

1. Use a lighter to burn the cut edges of the tape to prevent it from falling off.

2. Pull the zipper head into the teeth in an upward direction, pinch both ends of the tape (arrow position) and pull outwards together (as shown in the figure). The zipper head will go into the teeth under the outward tension of the tape.

3. After the cloth tape is pulled out, the slider is installed.

4. Use diagonal pliers to pull out the excess teeth.

5. Install the upper and lower stops.

Tips for dealing with zipper stuck on clothes:

Perhaps you have encountered a situation where the zipper gets stuck in the fabric of clothing and cannot be moved up or down. Please do not use brute force to pull at this time, otherwise it will get stuck tighter. You should slowly pull the cloth stuck in the slider out, then pull the slider back to its original position and slowly pull it up. You must be patient in handling this!

Tips for maintaining zippers: When using them normally, pay attention to whether the zipper has defects such as "broken belly", "loose teeth", "skewness", etc. If the zipper is loose and has dislocated teeth, you can use a small hammer to gently tap the zipper head a few times to make the upper and lower teeth bite tighter, and it will not dislocate again.

Do not overfill any zippered bags, pockets, or wallets. When pulling the zipper, you should first align the teeth on both sides, then pinch the zipper head and gently pull it forward along the track. Do not pull it hard.

Zipper maintenance tips:

1. During normal use, pay attention to whether the zipper has defects such as "broken belly", "loose teeth", and crookedness. If there are these defects, repair them in time and do not pull them hard. If the zipper is loose and has dislocated teeth, you can use a small hammer to gently tap the zipper head a few times to make the upper and lower chain teeth bite tighter, and it will not dislocate again.

2. Aluminum alloy zippers are more susceptible to corrosion, so they should be kept dry and away from moisture to prevent the aluminum teeth from generating white oxides, which may cause the zipper to rust over time and affect its use. At the same time, care should be taken to avoid contact with alkaline and acidic substances. When storing, ensure a certain degree of ventilation. Do not store it in a sealed manner or in a humid environment. Use moisture-proof paper or dehumidifier if necessary. If the zipper feels rough to pull after being damp, first put the zipper in the sun, then apply some wax on the teeth of the zipper, and then melt it with fire. This way, it will be very smooth to use.

3. When pulling the zipper, you should first align the teeth on both sides together, then pinch the zipper head and gently pull it forward along the track. Do not pull it hard to avoid causing "crooked teeth", "broken belly" and "loose teeth". If the zipper feels stiff and difficult to pull, you can first wipe it clean with a cloth and then apply a layer of white wax on the "teeth".

4. Do not overfill bags, pockets or wallets with zippers, otherwise the zippers may break, lose teeth, become skewed or become soft.
