Replacing a zipper can turn into a risky adventure if you do it yourself, and an expensive one if you have it done for you. However, in some cases, simply changing the slider can be enough. That’s now possible with ZlideOn®.

Available models:
- Various colors: black, silver, brass…

When should you use ZlideOn®?
ZlideOn® can fix your zipper in the following cases:
– The teeth of your zipper no longer engage but are still present
– The slider is damaged or has come off
– The rows of teeth are misaligned
– The teeth have come out of the slider
– The slider is stuck (in the lining or elsewhere)
– The slider is rusted
How to choose your ZlideOn slider?
1- Identify the type of zipper: plastic, metal, coil, invisible.
2 – Measure the width of your zipper when closed.
3 – Find the Zlideon in the chart available here, then look up the reference in our search engine or head to our Zlideon shop to choose the slider that best suits your needs in the right color.

How to change the slider with Zlideon?
To repair your zipper:

– Open the Zlideon slider by holding the base while pressing the pull tab
– Place the slider onto the zipper (on one side only for a separating zipper, on both sides for a non-separating one)
– Close the slider by pressing firmly on the base
