This guy is great! Who would have thought that someone could have such enthusiasm for talking about zippers! My daughter's coat is broken and I'm trying to mend it, I came across this video and it's so helpful. Thanks, Zipperman!

Thank you for helping how to fix the slider in a very very easy way , I had backpack that I was trying to fix all day and I saw your video and I fixed it in an instant! I felt so accomplished!

Who would have thought that a zipper vid cold be so fascinating. Can't wait for the snap-fastener sequel.

Very informative! Came across this from trying to figure out how to repair my jacket's zipper. Never knew there were locking zippers, so cool!

Great video! Many thanks for sharing. Your technique of feeding the slider from the bottom saved a pair of diving boots. My YKK locking slider broke so even though I found and bought an original YKK replacement slider nobody wanted to fit it since it wasn't feasible to access the bottom of the zip to feed the slider from the top. But I managed to do it from the top of the zip using your technique and making minor damage to the zip stopper. Thanks!

I have reversible jacket that has a broken metal, single-tab, locking slider that is still attached to my jacket and I need to know how can I fix it?

Thanks for the explanation.

Great Videos thanks i found it very useful and informative

when did Mike Rowe start doing zipper infomercials?

Replaced broken metal puller with cord puller. Why does my metal (guessing auto-lock) zip not move well when unzipped, but moves fine when a chain is formed (zipping up both sides)? Thanks

My zipper slider has an F on the back. What does that stand for?

can you tell if there is a difference between a round top vislon and a square top vislon?

Hello sailrite, I have a coat with a two way vislon zipper with two long metal anchors at the end of both teeth tracks. One, bottom slider is faced down ward and it may have been a locking vislon slider but I can't remember, if there was a box receptacle for the two long metal anchors at the bottom end of zipper, like you showed on your video and do you need a box if you have the locking vislon slider? Is it correct to place two vislon sliders that lock and do I need the bottom box for the two metal anchors? Perhaps one vislon locking slider for the bottom and one non locking vislon for the top or can I do without the box joining the bottom metal anchors?

I am looking for zippers that allows me to replace the “tab” at will. I have a leather bags manufacturing co.

nice video!!! actually im making zipper to and i know how make nylon and plastic to injection to make a top stop and the bottom stop.

Hi, do you know is CSK zippers are good brand?

Thanks very helpful!

@SailriteDIY , what does one do when the metal locking mechanism, seems to move freely, but does not unlock?, even when adding a paper clip for more lift, didn't help. Any suggestions, other than ripping out the zipper? ( Been fixing zippers for over 45yrs. ) Hoping this is fixable. It would be great to not rip it out.

Sail rite what kind of slider would go on a tent zipper?

I need to get me a polo us zipper to replace the one that broke today. I like this jacket I am wearing to. I need to go find me one.

Is it possible to replace just the "Tab"? (...the tab that you pull between your fingers that flops around, and sometimes breaks off)

Wait, I can't believe I just found this video. I'm, like, the biggest zipper fan in the world. Gonna binge watch all of these. The locking slider is some serious shit.

We have 5 sliders for #5 coil YKK zippers. Here are the part numbers: 104337, 104356, 104359, 104333, 104433. You can visit sailrite.com to find these sliders.
