You can move the zipper back and forth all you like, but in the end, the item in question never actually zips, though sometimes it might start to catch just to get your hopes up. Whenever this occurs it is always frustrating, and it also generally renders the item useless unless you can get it fixed.<\/p>\n<p>But how do you fix something like this? Well, you could take it to a clothing repair shop of some sort. Seamstresses and the like can certainly fix a broken zipper in a flash, but there\u2019s no guarantee buying a new pair of pants or a new jacket wouldn\u2019t be less expensive in the long run. If you know how to sew, you could always take out the old zipper and sew in a brand new one too. Problem solved, and a new zipper won\u2019t cost you a lot of money, but it will be a time-sink and quite a headache.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fix a Zipper that Doesn&#039;t Close\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GtXWGDb2ppo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Before you throw out your purse or pants, however, you should be aware that there are ways to fix a broken zipper that doesn\u2019t require going to an expensive repair shop or being able to sew a new zipper into the broken item. In fact, the method shown in the video only requires a pair of pliers and takes barely any time at all. Check it out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s amazing how simple fixing a broken zipper actually is. Since the zipper portion\u2019s job is to press the teeth together until they stick, when the zipper isn\u2019t tight enough to engage the teeth, the teeth aren\u2019t forced solidly into position and can\u2019t firmly close.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, tightening the zipper with pliers fixes the issue in a snap. With this trick, you can save your coats, bags, and even jeans in no time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You do need to have your zipper have this particular problem in order to fix it\u00a0in this way. If the zipper portion isn\u2019t loose and not properly engaging the teeth, tightening it probably won\u2019t help your zipper issue. However, surprisingly, most other zipper problems are as easy to fix, if not easier.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine how much money you will save just fixing your zippers instead of buying new clothes or bags when the zippers break.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether on a coat, a bag, or a pair of pants, we have all had a zipper that slipped and stopped catching the teeth.
