Why do zippers get stuck?
Before looking for a solution, it is helpful to understand why a zipper can get stuck:
- Dust and dirt buildup : Over time, debris builds up between the teeth, making it difficult to slide.
- Misaligned teeth : Excessive pressure or closing too quickly can prevent teeth from fitting together properly.
- Stuck Fabric : Sometimes a piece of fabric gets into the slider, completely blocking the closure.
- Natural wear and tear : Over time, the mechanism wears out and the slider loses its effectiveness.
