The best known way is to replace a runner. Is your runner broken, just replace it with a brand new one. It is not possible to place just any runner on your zip, because there is difference in runners. Each brand has it&#8217;s own zip parts. Even spiral zips and metal zips have different runners.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautyvof.nl\/Zipparts-like-slider-topstop-and-bottomstop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We sell these<\/a>&#8230;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 17px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-topstop\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topstop<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt is possible to replace topstops on open end zips, closed end zips and two-way zips. Just remove the old and attach the new.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 17px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-bottomstop\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottomstop<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEvery fashion maker has a bit of stock, meant for a project but never used or bought the wrong one&#8230;you&#8217;ll now what I&#8217;m talking about!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAre you working on a project and you need a closed ended zip but you only have a open ended one? You can make the zip closed ended by removing a few teeth and attaching a bottomstop. Now you c\u00e0n use the zip!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 14px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-runner\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Runner<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere are different kinds of runners. Every kind of zip has it&#8217;s own kind of runner. If you look at a runner from a spiral zip, you will see that the inside is different from a runner from a blocktooth zip. The spiral zip slider has no raised edge, the blocktooth and metal zips do. Also there is difference in width. The normal width of open end zips and two-way zips is 5 or 6mm. Brands make there own zips and runners, so there is dissimilarity between brands. So please make sure you buy the right runner for your zip. In our shop the sliders are listed with information that states for what kind of zip the slider is suitable.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis concludes Making zips to size &#8211; the basics Below you can see what other pages we have on the subject\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 25px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-other-pages-by-the-zipper-fixer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other pages by the Zipper fixer<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 13px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/making-zips-to-size-removing-teeth\/\" style=\"border-radius:55px\">Removing teeth<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/making-zips-to-size-attaching-bottomstop-and-topstops\/\" style=\"border-radius:55px\">Attaching Topstops and bottomstop<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/making-zips-to-size-replace-runner\/\" style=\"border-radius: 55px;\">Replace runner<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 28px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links\">\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/invisible-blind-zipper\/\">Invisible or blind zip<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/bijzondere-ritsen-deelbare-ritsen-rits-voor-tas-multicolour-rits\/\">Special zips<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/naaigerei-naaigereedschap-onmisbare-tools\/haak-terugsteken-in-bank-en-kleding\/\">Haak terugsteken in bank en kleding<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/zips-in-all-sizes-made-to-size\/\">Zippers made to measure<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/welke-vlieseline-soort-heb-ik-nodig\/\">Which type of interlinging do I need?<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/post_tag\/shortening-a-zipper\/\" rel=\"tag\">shortening a zipper<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/post_tag\/shortening-a-zipper\/\" rel=\"tag\">shortening a zipper<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/post_tag\/zipper-doctor\/\" rel=\"tag\">zipper doctor<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/post_tag\/zipper-fixer\/\" rel=\"tag\">zipper fixer<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/en\/post_tag\/zipper-fixer\/\" rel=\"tag\">zipper fixer<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making zips to size?
