Whether metal or plastic, zippers<\/strong> have changed the way we dress or store things. The zipper was invented in the mid-1800s, and has since been improved to have a closure almost as perfect as today’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The almost is certainly not by chance. Although very useful, zippers can get stuck frequently<\/strong> , or they can lose “teeth”, making it difficult to close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many reasons why a zipper<\/strong> stops working and for each of them, below, we suggest a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zipper off the tracks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold the zipper tracks firmly with pliers, and at the same time open the side with a flat-head screwdriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening you need to create must be small, just enough to fit the knocked out tooth back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken tie rod<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may happen that, due to a movement that is a little too strong, we are left with the zipper in our hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick solution is to open the part to which the tie rod was anchored with a screwdriver and insert a thin strip of canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zipper blocked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can apply a little lip balm or petroleum jelly to make the zipper slide better and open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing \u201cteeth\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut the plastic part of a cotton swab into small pieces. Take a fragment and cut one end, opening a slit, then insert it into the part where the tooth is missing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
