Product Information

Full details

This Universal Clothing and Luggage Zip Repair Kit from Harbour Housewares is designed for anyone frustrated by broken or missing zip pulls on clothing or bags. Its key benefit is providing an immediate, easy, and cost-effective solution to restore functionality without needing to visit a tailor or purchase a new item. A potential caveat is that these are replacement pulls and may not address structural damage to the zip teeth themselves. The kit contains 16 zip fixers in two sizes, offering a simple attachment method to get your zippers working again quickly.

FAQs

How many zip repairers are in the pack?

The pack contains a total of 16 zip repairers: 8 small ones (2.5cm handle) and 8 large ones (3.5cm handle).

What kind of zippers can this kit fix?

This kit is designed to fix zippers where the pull tab has broken off but the main slider mechanism is still functional. It works on most standard clothing and luggage zippers.

Do I need any tools to attach a zip fixer?

No, no tools are required. The zip fixer is designed to be attached by hand by looping the hook and snapping the pull into place.

Can this repair a zipper that has come off its track?

This kit replaces the pull tab. It cannot fix a zipper that has completely detached from its track or has damaged teeth.

How do I choose between the small and large zip fixers?

The small fixers are generally for smaller zippers found on thinner fabrics or smaller items, while the large fixers are for more robust zippers on coats, jackets, or luggage.

Is this a permanent solution?

It provides a durable and functional replacement for a broken zip pull, significantly extending the usability of the item. However, very heavy or frequent use may eventually wear the attachment point.

Troubleshooting

Zip fixer feels loose

Ensure the hook is threaded through the correct part of the zip slider and is securely snapped into place. Try the other size if available, as a slightly tighter fit may be required.

Zip fixer does not fit the zip

Verify that you are using the appropriate size (small or large) for your specific zipper. The small size is for smaller teeth/sliders, and the large size is for bigger ones.

Zip still catches or is difficult to move

The zip repair kit only replaces the pull tab. If the zip teeth themselves are damaged, bent, or misaligned, the zip may still function poorly. Clean the zip teeth or consider a full zip replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides an instant fix for broken zip pulls.
  • Includes two different sizes to accommodate various zippers.
  • Easy to attach without tools or sewing.
  • Saves money by extending the life of clothing and luggage.
  • Prevents the need for professional tailoring or replacement.

Cons

  • Does not repair damaged or missing zip teeth.
  • The fix might be temporary for heavily used zippers.
  • May not be aesthetically identical to the original zip pull.
  • Requires careful selection of the correct size for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the size of the zip fixer needed (small for smaller zips, large for larger ones).
  2. Locate the remaining part of the original zip slider or the small hole at the top of the zip track.
  3. Thread the silver hook of the zip fixer through this hole.
  4. Snap the plastic pull onto the hook to secure it.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for standard coil and metal zippers where the slider mechanism is intact but the pull tab is missing or broken. It is compatible with most clothing, bags, and luggage items.

Care:

These zip fixers require no special care. Keep them in a dry place. If they become dirty, wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
