Zipper is an opening and closing device widely used in clothing, shoes, bags and other items. It is convenient and strong. However, there are some precautions and common problems that need to be paid attention to when using zippers.

1. Things to note when using zippers:

Avoid excessive pulling: When using the zipper, avoid excessive pulling on the zipper, especially in key areas such as the head and tail. Excessive pulling may cause the zipper to be damaged or become stuck and unable to be opened.

Avoid twisting and deformation: Try to avoid twisting and deforming the zipper during use, because twisting and deformation may cause the zipper to get stuck and cannot be opened or the zipper teeth to fall off.

Keep it clean and dry: It is very important to keep your zippers clean and dry. When there is dust, oil and other debris on the zipper, it may cause the zipper to get stuck or not operate smoothly. Therefore, zippers should be cleaned regularly and kept dry when stored.

Avoid friction with hard objects: Avoid friction between the zipper and hard objects to avoid wear or damage to the zipper. Especially when the zipper is embedded inside the item, care must be taken to avoid damage caused by external impact.

Pay attention to the strength used: When opening or closing the zipper, you should pay attention to using appropriate strength to avoid damage caused by excessive force. Pull gently and apply firm pressure to better protect the zipper.
