What should I do if the zipper doesn’t work?

In life, we often encounter the situation that the zipper cannot be pulled. Some people are anxious and will use brute force when encountering this problem, which can easily damage the zipper. So at this time, we must calm down, observe carefully, and carefully find the reason why the zipper cannot be pulled. No matter what the problem is, only after the cause is clear can we find an effective solution. For example, there are the following measures to solve the problem of the zipper not being able to be pulled.

What should I do if the zipper doesn’t work?

1. Can’t be brought together

The main reason why the zipper cannot be closed is that the distance between the upper and lower cards of the zipper slider is enlarged or widened left and right. Just use pliers to gently clamp it up and down or left and right. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the zipper head! After repair, you can apply a little wax on the zipper to make it smoother in the future. If you use pliers to clamp it closed several times and it breaks again after a few days, you should consider replacing the zipper head.

2. Can’t pull

If the zipper won't open no matter how hard you try, you can apply soap or wax on it, and then slide it up and down a few times, and the zipper will open.

Tips for using zippers:

To avoid frequent problems with zippers on clothes, there are some tips when using zippers in daily life!

1. Don't pull too quickly or too hard, and don't pull too hard.

2. Do not stretch it too tight to avoid it stretching.

3. Apply a layer of wax on the zipper frequently and pull it back and forth to ensure that it can slide smoothly.

4. Be sure to close the zipper when washing clothes, otherwise the zipper will be twisted arbitrarily after washing and in the washing machine and dryer, causing the zipper teeth to fall off and become damaged.

5. Check the zipper frequently and pay attention to whether it is "loose" or "skewed". If it is loose, you can use a small hammer to gently tap the zipper head a few times to make the upper and lower teeth bite tighter, so that the teeth will not fall off frequently.
