Probably everyone, at least once got into a situation when the lightning on a jacket or a boot did not break at the right time, but how to fix it if it does not differ. You can certainly give a thing to repair and pick it up in a couple of days, but it's not at all relevant, if it's the only boots, and you have to leave in 10 minutes.
How to fix the lock with a zip?
If we are dealing with a castle that has split up, then most likely the reason for its divergence is in an open dog. It can deteriorate if the lock is fastened too tightly, is constantly in a strained condition or the thing has been in use for more than one year. First, the lock will need to be leveled, that is, put the slider in the very beginning, and afterwards start to resuscitate it.
In order to correct the situation, we need pliers. With their help you need to squeeze the dog on both sides, while making a small effort. If the runner is squeezed too hard, it will stop moving at all, and in the worst case it will burst.

This requires a small ring, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the button on the jeans - this can be found on the keychain.
The ring is inserted into the loop of the runner and when the zipper is buttoned up to the top, it is put on the button. Thus, this design remains invisible to the eyes of others and protects you from trouble in the form of unbuttoned fly.
