Can You Fix A Broken Zipper?

A broken zipper does not mean the end to your favorite purse, backpack, or boots! That goes the same for your wallets, briefcases, or luggage. Broken zippers can either be re-tracked, repaired or, depending on the intensity of damage, the zipper can be replaced entirely.


Often, repairing your zipper might be easier than you think. Something as simple as a broken or tweaked zipper slider can often be the cause of an unruly zipper in the first place. As a zipper is used over time, the components will wear out, and the zipper slider may not be locking the zipper teeth together properly. This causes a full-on zipper malfunction! Simply replacing the zipper slider will help to pull the teeth together properly and get that zipper working again.


No matter what is wrong with your zipper, a cobbler is a master zipper-fixer and can help! Austin Shoe Hospital always keeps a wide variety of zipper pulls, new zippers, and extra patience on hand to face any zipper dilemma.
