The zipper is a fastener that locks in place with the help of a slider that interlock and releases the teeth of the zipper to allow opening and closing. It is a quick and easy way close or open any piece of clothing.

The zipper is easy to use as the user only have to pull the slider one way or the other to use it. The zipper can be used by almost everyone.
