REDUCING THE RISK OF JAMMING 

FABRIC IN THE ZIP

•     When using the zip, hold the pull-tab 

between your thumb and forefinger with 
your thumb facing you.

•     As you are closing the zip clear the way 

in front and under the zip slider using the 
back of your hand, and cup the zip slider 
underneath with your remaining 3 fingers.

Use this action for opening or closing. Keep 
the fabric clear of the zip slider - zip and unzip 
slowly. 

WHAT TO DO IF THE ZIPPER GETS 

CAUGHT

•     Pull the fabric bit by bit out of the slider. Do 

not try and pull all the fabric in one go. Do 
not force the slider or the fabric. 

IF THE SLIDER DOES NOT CLOSE THE 

ZIPPER PROPERLY

•     With use, the jaws of the zip slider can open 

ever so slightly. When this occurs the slider 
does not compress the zip teeth or coil 
together tightly enough and the zip bursts 
open or does not close.

•     Undo the zip and with the slider at the end 

of the zip lightly crimp the jaws of the slider 
together. Try top to bottom axis first and 
then side to side axis.

CRIMPING A ZIP-SLIDER

The most common reason why zips burst open 
is that the zip slider does not close the coil 
tightly enough. Wear and tear may cause the 
gap marked A to open up. See Figure 12.

By simply ‘crimping” the slider together at 
points B & C with a pair of pliers, this solves the 
problem most of the time. Crimping in other 
planes is worth a try if B & C does not work. This 
is to be done when the zip slider is still attached 
to the zip in the open position. See Figure 12.
