For example, the zipper on pants will not slide down automatically if it has a pin. Once the pin is broken, it will greatly affect the use of the zipper. At this time, you can repair it according to the following method.

How to repair a broken zipper latch?

The zipper is not flexible: When the zipper is damp, rusted, or oxidized, it will not move smoothly and cannot be pulled even if you try hard. If you rub the two rows of teeth back and forth with a candle and bake them over fire, it will then be very smooth to pull.

The zipper cannot be opened: A common problem with metal zippers is that they cannot be pulled up or opened. The main reason is the zipper puller. The slider is made of two pieces of metal, one above the other. After a long period of use, the distance between the metal pieces will be widened and the zipper will not be able to be closed. The repair method is very simple. You just need to use pliers to clamp it up and down or left and right, but be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging it.

Zipper burst open: This problem is caused by the slider being pulled for too long, causing the opening to become larger. Just clamp the tail of the slider with pliers, but be careful not to use too much force or clamp it off-center. If you want to solve the problem completely, replace the slider.

Zipper missing teeth: Use pliers or tweezers to pry open the zipper teeth at the original end and remove a few teeth. After installing them in the place where the teeth were missing, use pliers to gently press the teeth against the edge of the fabric to make it bite firmly.

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.
