How to Get a Zipper to Work Smoother

You've just pulled on your favorite jacket and you're running out the door into the cold night air -- when the gold metal zipper gets stuck. Instead of having this or any other zipper professionally repaired, save a bundle of cash and fix the stuck zipper you. Zippers typically get stuck if they're blocked by an obstruction, but they may also stop gliding smoothly as a garment ages. Fix your corn teeth zipper by using one of several common household items to lubricate the zipper teeth.

Step 1

Check your highly polished metal zipper for obstructions as small pieces of lint or a thread can stop the zipper from sliding properly. If the zipper lining is caught in the zipper, pull the fabric back and forth a few times to get it out. If you see an obstruction that you can't pull out with your fingers, try using a small pair of scissors to remove it. Take care not to damage the garment with the scissors.

Step 2

Open the zipper all the way. Rub over the zipper teeth with a bar of unscented soap, a pencil graphite, a crayon or some candle wax.

Step 3

Zip up the zipper and rub the soap, crayon, candle wax or pencil over the teeth again.

Step 4

Pull the zipper up and down a few times until it glides smoothly. If the zipper continues to stick, apply another coat of wax, soap, crayon or graphite.

Step 5

Rub the zipper with a dry cloth to get rid of any excess residue.

Types of Zippers based on Functionality

Heavy duty zippers are always measured from "component to component" (end stops), regardless of  zipper style.

Close-end zippers are non-separating and are normally opened and closed with a slider.  The bottom stop is made up of a single part and doesn't allow complete separation of the  chain. These zippers are used on trousers, jeans, bags, boots, etc.

Open-end (separating) zippers have separated ends. The ending part is joined by a box  and pin mechanism provided on the lower end of the zipper. The zippers are closed using  sliders, and are normally used on jackets and other outerwear.

Two-way separating zippers have separated ends as well. The bottom slider allows  movement from the bottom of the zipper. These zippers are used in rainwear, sportswear and sleeping bag.

Two-Way head to head zippers have two sliders at the center of the chain when the  zippers are closed. Head to head zippers can be open-end by pulling the sliders towards the  stops, but cannot be separated because the ending parts have two stops that cannot be  divided. These zippers are mainly used for bags, backpacks and luggage.

Two-way tail to tail (back to back) zippers have sliders on opposite ends when the gold zipper  is closed. These zippers can be opened by pulling the sliders towards each other, but cannot  be separated. They are used for overalls and anything else.

Length Tolerance in Zippers : Generally zippers can vary when bulk is received due to various factors. Based on JIS-S3015 following tolerance is acceptable in zipper lengths.

The Invention of the Zipper

Although buttons were easy to use, there were times when better ways to fasten clothing together were needed. Depending on how the buttons were arranged on one’s clothes, the simple act of sitting down could be cumbersome and could damage the upholstery on furniture. Also, buttons do not provide a very tight seal, which is important in cold climates.

In 1851, inventor Elias Howe (who also invented the sewing machine), received a patent for a device called an “Automatic Continuous Clothing Closure.” This would be the first version of what we commonly refer to as a zipper today. Although Howe invented this device, the popularity of the sewing machine occupied so much of his time and effort that he never pursued the development of a market for his invention.

Over forty years would go by with no zippers until another inventor, Whitcomb Judson, developed a similar device he called the “Clasp Locker.” Unlike Howe, Whitcomb decided to market his invention. He formed the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture clasp lockers. Unfortunately, in spite of his best efforts, his product did not capture the public’s attention and never really took off.

All was not lost, however. One of Judson’s engineers, a Swedish gentleman named Gideon Sundback, began working on different designs for the clasp locker. It was Sundback who would create what we would consider to be the first modern zipper, which Sundlack named the “Separable Fastener.” In addition to the “Separable Fastener,” he also invented a machine that could manufacture the device, making several hundred per day.

One of the first buyers for Sundback’s invention was the B.F. Goodrich Company. They wanted to use the device to act as a fastener for a new design they had for rubber boots. It was the people at Goodrich that coined the name “zipper.”

Now the heavy duty zippers are mostly use for garment and bags.

How to Use the Zipper

Highly polished metal zipper fit into a class of mechanical devices called fasteners. A fastener is used to connect two or more things together; that is, to fasten them to one another. If you think about using a zipper, you usually think about an article of clothing such as pants or a coat, and rightly so. The heavy duty zippers fastens two pieces of cloth together. It also provides a simple way to unfasten the same two pieces. That is the beauty of the zipper. It is fast, efficient and can be used over and over again to repeatedly open and close things.

Zipper cleaning method

A riri teeth zipper should be closed and the slider fixed before cleaning.

Left open, the tip of the stopper may damage the fabric or the tape may become stretched or may shrink.

Strong alkaline detergents or chlorine bleaching agents used to remove oil or bad stains dissolve paraffin or oily film and must be used with care. If a shiny sliver zipper does not work smoothly after cleaning, apply paraffin, and work the slider up and down several times until it works smoothly.

Methods to Determine Zipper Strength

There are various methods by which to evaluate highly polished metal zipper strength. The basic strength can be determined based on the results of the following inspection methods, from which all around strength appropriate for respective uses can be judged.

Crosswise Strength of chain (per 2.5cm)

To determine ordinary zipper strength: a zipper chain is interlocked, pulled at a fixed speed at a right angle to the chain interlocked direction, and the resistance is measured.

Vertical tensile strength of the top stop

The lower part of an interlocked zipper is fixed and the slider is pulled up to the top stop.

Holding strength is measured by pulling the slider top stop firmly.

Bottom stop tearing strength

A slider is pulled down to the bottom stop and single chains are opened to the right and left sides.

Bottom stop holding strength and resistance of the elements inside the slider are measured.

Horizontal tensile strength of the box

The open part is fixed to the tensile tester

(Only the open part as shown in the figure) so that the end of the last element falls into line with the clamp edge and the tensile strength can be measured.

Slider lock strength

A slider is locked at the middle of a zipper chain and single chains are opened to the right and left sides. Locking strength and resistance of the elements inside the slider are measured.

Overall strength of the slider (90 degrees)

For a completed slider, resistance of the slider is measured when power is put on the pull tab and the lower part of the body. In addition to the 90 degree method of measuring shown in the figure at left, there is one of 45 degrees.

How to Fix a Broken Zipper

Metal zipper two way can only withstand so much use before the teeth stick together or otherwise break. The corn zipper on your couch cushions rub up against the fabric constantly, every time you shift or move. Any spills or accidents on the couch that reach the zipper cause rust, which stops the pull from sliding along the teeth. Simple fixes might solve the broken zipper problem, but the process may require a little more work if the zipper breaks off the cushion.

Instructions
1
Grab the zipper pull and gently work it down to the bottom of the zipper. Place the pliers flat against the zipper pull and press down. Move the pliers to the other side of the pull and press again. Try sliding the zipper pull closed.

2
Look over the zipper and identify any uneven teeth. Even a single off-center tooth stops the pull from closing the zipper. Squeeze the tooth with the pliers until it sits flush with the surrounding teeth and try pulling the zipper pull.

3
If other methods do not work, lay the seam ripper flat against the fabric on one side of the zipper. Slide the ripper along the fabric, tearing off one side. Use the seam ripper on the opposite side, removing the zipper from the couch cushion. Leave a piece of fabric from the original zipper approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch long on the bottom of the cushion where the original zipper sat.

4
Pull the cover off the cushion. Leave the cushion facing right side out and set the new zipper on the cushion, making the bottom of the zipper sit directly on top of the fabric piece. Insert sewing pins along the sides of the zipper, attaching the fabric on the sides of the zipper to the cushion.

5
Hold the cushion flat as you slowly push it through the sewing machine, stitching the zipper to the cushion. Use a zigzag stitch or another strong stitch that keeps the pieces firmly attached. Add a second row of stitching for extra protection and repeat the process on the opposite side of the zipper.

Tips & Warnings

If the zipper pull fell off, replace it with a small charm. Use thin-gauge wire, like that used in jewelry making. Wrap the wire around the charm and push the wire through the hole in the zipper top. Twist the wire around and trim off any extra wire with wire cutters.
It is better to choose a highly polished metal zipper.
