Replacement sliders for zippers and zipper by the meter

Zipper sliders as replacements for your zipper

No zipper works without a slider. If this small metal or plastic part breaks, you don't have to replace the whole zipper right away. Here you'll find individual sliders in various colors and styles, including ones that match the zipper by the meter in the range.

How to find the right slider

What matters is that the slider and zipper tape match. First check the type, because coil, metal and molded plastic zippers each need their own sliders. Next comes the size, which depends on the width of the closed row of teeth and is given as a number by many manufacturers. With continuous zippers, thread the slider onto both sides of the tape at the same time from the open end and push it up a little until the teeth mesh cleanly. Then secure the end with a few stitches or an end piece so the slider doesn't slip off.

Tip: If a zipper only closes partway, the cause is often a worn slider that no longer presses the teeth together firmly enough. A new slider is then usually the easiest fix, as long as the teeth are undamaged.
