In most cases, the zipper opens quickly and closes without any problems.

This explains the fact that zipper is found on many wardrobe items and bags: this type of fastener is very convenient to use.

However, the situation changes dramatically if the runner starts to get stuck.

A stuck zipper is annoying. It is very difficult to solve the problem without using special means: careful use takes a lot of time, and if you jerk the fastener sharply, it can break.

How to solve the problem

Fortunately, it is very easy to restore the functionality of a zipper.
