This is particularly unpleasant if it is a zip on a pair of trousers, or perhaps a recently purchased jacket or bag. In these cases, it is always good to be able to count on an immediate repair trick .

broken or blocked zipper can be a real torture, but it has various solutions and below we suggest the most effective ones.

1. Cursor that went outside the chain

Use pliers to hold the chain in place, while using a screwdriver to open the appropriate space in the slider through which the chain must pass. The opening must be small, just enough to fit the chain teeth.

Once both parts are inserted, press lightly on the slider to join all the elements and fix them, then move it from top to bottom.

2. Broken puller

Sometimes, due to wear, the puller, that is, that piece of metal that we grasp to open the zipper, can break or come off.

Use a screwdriver to lift the part on which the pull is fixed, to insert a thin piece of canvas that will replace the pull itself.

3. Zipper blocked

A zipper can get stuck for a variety of reasons, but one trick that works in almost all cases is to put a little Vaseline or lip balm between the teeth of the zipper.

This operation should be enough to release a stuck zipper.

4. Teeth that have fallen out

You need glue, a cotton swab and a pair of scissors. Cut the plastic cotton swab tube into very small pieces.

Take a fragment, open a cut on one end and place it on the part where the tooth is missing.
