How to change the zip slider
You need pliers to remove the previous zip slider and a screwdriver to install the new one.There's no need to to any sewing in order to switch sliders.The cursor should be placed on the side of the stopper (the female part at the bottom of the zipper, where you insert the male part when you want to close your zip).
How to choose the right zip slider
To make sure you choose the right zip slider, there are 3 criteria to take into account:
- Zip width:There are various sizes (widths) of zips:4mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm; these are the main standard sizes.
- Zip type:Plastic tooth, coiled, invisible coil (the coils are inside the product)
-Self-locking or not (free):If it's self-locking, when you pull down the zipper, the slider can no longer slide
