- Broken slider is often reason of disconnecting both parts of the zipper. In this video you will learn how to fix plastic zipper and replace a zipper slider.
How do you fix a broken zipper slider? How do you put a zipper back on track? How do you fix a zipper that separates? How do you replace a zipper? You can find answers to all these questions in this video or on our website.
In this video you know how to fix a zipper without replacing it from clothes. To do this you will need some tools and skills.
To replace the slider from your plastic zipper you need first break the stopper with pliers. To remove metal slider you can use a screwdriver or others tools. By doing this you can damage your fingers, be careful!
Note: The new slider must have the same size (number) and have same shape as the broken slider. When buying a new slider, compare the marking on the back side. The numbers and letters of both sliders must be the same.
You literally saved my sanity. After putting in dozens of zippers (a while back) in canvas application, I had a total brain block when converting a separating zipper slider from one pull to double pull slider. Duh. Thanks for walking through so closely and carefully for me. Well done!
Thank you
I'm going to add this as a PSA since I've done some research on my own after being a little frustrated with this video in that not all zippers have the size stamped on them. The number size, in this case "5" is shown, refers to the approx. width of the zipper, measure in millimeters (mm) when the zipper is closed. Measure only to the edges of the teeth. I might add that people shouldn't be too critical of a good person trying to help others with videos like this. Besides no explanation of the zipper size, I like this video...well done.
Thanks for the useful information, we did not carry out such research
@@sewway No problem, keep up the good work :)
ОК
Actually I went to the sewing shop (it's like a treasure trove of bits and pieces and sewing sundries😊) with just a photo of my busted zipper and the salesperson knew right away it was a Vislon (plastic not metal)5, apparently that's kind of standard for jacket zips😮 took it home watched this vid and done in 45 seconds.🎉🎉
BTW the zipper at the store had a V, Roman numeral five, rather than a 5 itself, on the back of the zip. 2:40
Very helpful! Thank you for posting this. Just fixed my parka. I didn't want to sew in a new zipper. Just replacing the plastic zipper itself worked great.
Thank you for posting. I did it! I purchased replacement zipper heads from Amazon but they came with no instructions. After watching your video I was able to quickly fix three of my favorite fleece tops. 💕
Thank you
Me too from Amazon no instructions! Good job you can find anything out on RUclips:)
No explination required, well done.
thanks so much for posting, this really helped me
This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for posting it!👏
Thank you ! My zipper fell off of my prom dress!
Mine too 😭😭
Omgahhh
W asf
This is a very good tutorial video. Thank you!
Thank
Great video, I just fixed my favorite vest with your technique, love it... thx for sharing
Thank you
Great video, I am impressed.
Excellent, simple & to the point, well done!
Excellent video; thank you! Question: Is there pliers that work best for breaking various stoppers? Also, is there a place you recommend we order the zipper pull replacements? Mine break after a while I think from being thrown around in the dryer.
Side cutters, end-cutting nippers
@@sewway Thank you!
@@sewway and where can we get new stoppers for it? You seemed to just take one of the teeth of another zipper? What do I do if I don’t have another zipper lying around (or if I don’t have one with metal teeth?
brilliant!! thank you for the instructions...fixed an expensive coat destined for the bin!!
For some reason, your post reminded me of the time I pulled the brass zip up on a tweed shooting coat and shredded my favourite cashmere scarf. 😫
I am an audiovisual learner and thought your video was so helpful, I subscribed. However, the zipper I am trying to fix is on a tote/carryon bag. Both ends are identical and the zipper slider is missing. So I don't have a size reference
Very good demonstration. TY!
OUTSTANDING! Thanks!
Thank you
Wow, just what I needed. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this. I have learned from you.
Many thanks for the video. I have a zip that is broken and it has "5" and "A" stamped on it... Any idea what the A means? It is a plastic zipper for a garden growhouse/greenhouse.
5 - slider size
A - spiral type
You can buy a slider №5, but with a different letter and it will not work. It is advisable to have with you a sample of a broken slider, or even better the zipper.
@@sewway Thank you! - I located a 5a. It worked perfectly. Legend!
Tsym for this video. I was able to save my mom's sweatshirt because of you.
Can you please tell me where to buy the zipper head? I need size 5H
If I sent you my polo windbreaker to fix could you it takes a 5 and c type of zipper
Sorry, but we do not provide such services.
Amazing ❤ thank you very much!
Nice and simple technique.
Thank you
What if you dont have the zipper and dont know what number replacement should be?
Thank you for your post. I have a question: Could you please tell me what size the brown zipper is?
I have a jacket in which the slider is broken and I lost it, then I cannot check the size of the zipper. But I guess the brown zipper, which you have used in the video is like my jacket.
The most reliable way is to ask the seller at the sewing accessories store to match the slider to your zipper.
Genius video!!
Did the work, thanks!
Thanks
thank you so much this is so helpful
Thank you!
Thanks. A zipper on an old sweater of mind randomly broke. I would’ve had to throw it away if it weren’t for this video.
I also sometimes don't want to make more videos, but comments like this don't allow me to do that. Thank you
Thank you! 🌹
Can this still be done if you can’t reach the top stop or the bottom of the teeth. Our zip has broken on the baby’s “next to me” in our room but we can’t reach the top or bottom of the zipper teeth without busting the stitching potentially ruining the next to me. Any help would be appreciated..
In this case, you can rip out a pair of upper zipper teeth with pliers and insert your slider. Then wrap this void with threads For kids' clothes, such a tough option will work.
@@sewway that’s great thank you for the reply.
Excellent 🎉
Thank you. I will try and fix a zipper pull.
Thank you, good vid, helped me fix my jacket so ya!
Nice to hear it, thanks
Thanks 👍👍
Thank you
Very useful. Nice nails too.
i’m gonna try this and hopefully i’ll be able to save my favorite hoodie
That last piece what is it called... The one that stops the slider of the zipper
The top stop.
Illuminating!
The thing thet you pull the zipper broke. I want to know how to replace it
Buy a new one on Amazon, I specifically made a video to explain how to choose the right one
Thank you, saved my favourite leather jacket from 'DOOM'. Will wear it another 10 years now.
These things are indestructible, you need to have good health when buying them
Great idea 👍🏵🌱🌹🌿🌺☘🌻🍀🌷🍁🌴❤
So you have to have another zipper set in order to fix one?
No, you just need to buy a new slider and set it. It is much cheaper than changing your zipper at a tailor shop.

What’s music on background?
Do you like the music? They often scold me that the music is terrible. But seriously, this is from the RUclips music library
For those who need it and dont want to destroy the zipper's end. I widen one side of the zipper by inserting an edge of a fork and then twisting it until it is able to fit in the teeth thats has the thing which prevents it from falling. And then after its inserted, clamp down the zipper using your hand or pliers and you zipper is fixed.
Original way, but not desirable to do so. You weaken the pressed mold and it will not last long.
I just wish you hadn’t talk so much in this video
instead you should thank her on putting efforts into this to help you
@@abdullahbinabbas1706 (It's a joke sir. Just humour) *r/WOOOOSHHHH*
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Regular chatterbox isn’t she?
i feel dumb asf for not knowing this but thank you.
Thank you
Wishing you talked lmao
Audio would be nice!
You're right, it's good to make audio, invite an experienced operator, hire a director, producer, etc. I'm dreaming about that
really clear video just wish there was narration to it. I have a really short attention span so i kept looking away and not knowing what I missed
Means you can't learn and that you're not learning why you can't learn... If you have a short attention span, you probably won't listen either if it was narrated. It's your fault. Hit the replay button and watch it again...
Lose the music, add the narration with voice
Thanks for the advice. Be sure to take into account in the following videos
Try talking it’s helpful
Narration would have made it easier to understand. The irritating music was annoying and distracting.
Not all people speak English, you need to be able to make educational material accessible to everyone for understanding.
How dump do you think ppl are
There is no limit
*Great* tutorial! Now go watch some at-home hack videos on eliminating nail fungus or you risk losing your right thumb nail which you need for these projects!!!
soooo in order to fix the zipper on my favourite jacket i should BREAK IT first... and then fix it again by BREAKING ANOTHER ZIPPER... right, thanks a lot.
Some talking and explaining would be nice. Nothing worse than a "mute" video.
You are right, thank you.
I think the video is good without talking so the entire world can benefit from it.
WTF? You have to ruin a separate zipper to fix the one that's broken? And they could shave a few minutes if they just spoke English instead of pointing.
I didn't invite you to visit my house, but if you come, behave yourself
All these videos are *useless* do a 'how to' vid with a zipper thats ACTUALLY attached to a jacket or bag or something other then a zipper component.
Thank you
I dislike videos where there is no explanation. Waste of time.
Sorry
This video is self-explanatory. It doesn’t need narration. Thank you for uploading this.
@@sewway Don't be sorry to anyone, You did a great job and you taught me what i needed to know. Thank you!
this is a joke. not helpful!!!
Thank you
Thank you
