If DIY, just don't buy a plastic zipper pull, buy a metal one. The plastic ones pop right open with just minor pressure. Replacement plastic zipper pulls are useless IMO. Can't even keep it closed by crazy gluing the moving parts. Melted and fused together, maybe, but I'm not going to melt a zipper pull to keep it together. I'm just going to order a metal one.

Thanks. I should have looked up the correct terminology first. It’s the slider and pull and bottom stop. Yeah, it was originally a metal zipper. I still have the slider part, but not the bottom stop. How to do secure the stop though? Just crimped on or glued?
