When it comes to broken zippers on bags, we've all been there. You're about to head out the door, and you can't get your zipper to close. Or maybe you're halfway through your day, and your bag suddenly pops open, spilling your belongings all over the place. A broken zipper can be more than just an inconvenience; it can be a major hassle. However, before you give up on that favorite bag of yours, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem.
First, let's determine the cause of the broken zipper. A missing tooth on the zipper can cause the zipper to malfunction. This can happen when a tooth on the zipper is missing, which makes the zipper unable to close properly. To fix this issue, you'll need a replacement zipper slider. You can purchase one at a sewing or craft store, or online.
Another common cause of a broken zipper is a jammed slider. This can happen when something gets caught in the slider, preventing it from moving up and down the zipper. To fix a jammed slider, carefully pull out any debris that may be stuck in the slider. Then, lubricate the zipper with a small amount of petroleum jelly, graphite powder, or bar soap to help it move more easily.
Sometimes, a twisted zipper can also cause problems. To fix a twisted zipper, carefully unzip the bag, and lay it flat on a clean surface. Then, gently straighten out the zipper by moving the slider along the teeth, being careful not to force it. Once the zipper is straight, you should be able to zip and unzip the bag without any issues.
