Zippo® Lighter Repair Information
In order to serve the needs of both users and collectors of Zippo®
windproof lighters, Zippo Manufacturing Co. has established the following repair policy:
| For Genuine Zippo® Lighters 25 Years Old or Older |
The original inside lighting mechanism will be returned to the customer in the same condition as
received. The case of the lighter will be repaired as well as possible and a new inside lighting
mechanism will be fit to the lighter case. The repaired lighter and the original inside lighting
mechanism will be returned to the customer in the same package. As stated in their Lifetime
Guarantee, the finish, however, is not guaranteed.
However, if you are a collector and wish Zippo to attempt to restore the inside lighting
mechanism of your lighter, you must state in your letter that you are a collector and that you
would like your inside lighting mechanism restored. If you fail to communicate this in your
letter, your lighter will be repaired as stated in the above paragraph.
|
| For Genuine Zippo® Lighters Less Than 25 Years Old |
Zippo will repair the lighter by replacing the inside lighting mechanism of the lighter with a new
lighting mechanism from its current year manufacture, and repairing the lighter case as well as
possible. If you request in writing, they will also return your original inside lighting mechanism
to you.
