To determine the replacement zipper slider size you need, start by checking the back of your broken zipper slider. Most zippers have a size number (1-10) embossed on the back of the slider. Once you locate the number, our zipper sizing chart below will determine which FixnZip® replacement zipper slider size is right for you.
Small: Sizes 1-4
Examples: pants, skirts, fine garments, cushions, clutch handbags
Medium: Sizes 5-7
Examples: jackets, sleeping bags, tents, purses, duffel bags, golf bags
Large: Sizes 8-10
Examples: wetsuits, boat covers, canvas tents, heavy duty clothing, jeep windows
If your zipper doesn’t have a number on the back, you can simply measure the width of the zipper teeth in millimeters or inches. Once you’ve determined your zipper sizing, you can decide which zipper slider within the small, medium, and large categories will best fit your needs.
Teeth/Coil Width
1 to 4.5 mm | 0.04 to 0.18 in = Small
5 to 7.5 mm | 0.19 to 0.30 in = Medium
8 to 10 mm | 0.31 to 0.40 in = Large
