Frequently Asked Questions

The zipper splits itself. Can I use ZlideOn?
Yes! The original zipper splits itself because probably the old slider is worn out and can easily be replaced by ZlideOn.
How do I remove the old slider?
Remove the old slider by using a pair of cutting pliers. Cut through the centre bar of the old zip slider and remove from the zip. See/Check our ABC Pictures.
If one or more teeth are missing, will ZlideOn work?
Yes! In most cases it will. ZlideOn will functionate when maximum of 3 teeth are missing/broken.
Sometimes, there is no beginning on the original zipper, what shall I do?
First you should force the original zipper, assemble ZlideOn to the original zipper, press the jaws together and pull down ZlideOn up to the bottom.
ZlideOn does not fit on my old zipper. Did I do something wrong?
It can be that you did not open ZlideOn sufficiently. Try to open little more. Or try another size of ZlideOn.
