Everyone has at some point in time felt helpless when the zipper of your jeans or jacket gets stuck. Here are quick hacks to fix a faulty zipper.

Make sure nothing gets stuck with the zip line while zipping.

1) When it opens too many times

There’s a locking mechanism on the zipper; all you have to do is put the tiny zip thing down. If that fails, then put a keychain ring on the zip slider and hang it to the pant button.

2) When teeth are separated

With the help of a plier, you need to tighten the slider to close down the gaps. Test the slider, and in case further tightening is required then do it.

This is a quite common occurrence. A hair, thread, or a fabric could get stuck in the zipper. If this happens, you first need to remove it from the zip line and slowly travel the zip to open the line.
