🚽 Toilet Hinge Replacement in White Plastic Review

I've had two good toilet seats with broken plastic hinges. I ordered two of these kits and installed them today. Removing the bolts from the seats was the hardest part. When the head of the Phillips screw came loose, I tried drilling through the screws with a drill. I don't think I could have done that with a hand drill without breaking the bit. Out of 16 screws on two toilet seats, three screws did not come out. The screw floors were still in the hole. I used an impact wrench to install the…

Replacing broken plastic hinges on a Kohler brand toilet seat. The toilet seat is in perfect condition, it is only 5 years old. The plastic hinge broke and the toilet seat hinges are hard to find. Arrived just in time for our guest bathroom as an out of town friend is coming soon. NOTE: There are four screws for the COVER and four screws for the seat. They are packed separately in small plastic bags labeled LID and RING. The ring is the part you sit on. I've never heard it called RING, but it…

One would think that in the mundane but important world of toilet seats and replacement parts there would be some sort of 'universal standardisation' but believe me that is not the case. Welcome to the world of "close enough I think". I bought a set of replacement metal "universal" hinges off eBay and the spacing between pairs of mounting holes on the new metal hinges was 3/16 short. "! I wasn't willing to drill any holes in the seat to house $10 worth of gear. So I went back to plastic—that…

Removing the old rusty hinges took longer than installing the new ones! A few comments on other reviews. One reviewer mentioned that the screws aren't stainless steel. Well the ones I received ARE stainless steel. No chance of rust or corrosion (which was an issue with the original hinges I received with the seat). Another reviewer mentioned that the hinges left the seat back (in the down position) over the toilet and was afraid of breaking the plastic hinges when seated. This looks like a…

This hinge kit was used on a Jabsco hand pump head with a Bemis seat in a marine environment. The fit on both parts of the seat was exact - no re-drilling required. Since it was a perfect fit, I decided to use the original screws instead of the ones that came with it. Not that it's a problem, but the interchangeable screw heads were different and I just didn't take the time to determine if they differ. So what came out came back immediately. The hinges also seem to be at least the same quality…

While these hinges are not identical (the design may have changed over the years, our hinges were open on the outside but otherwise literally identical inside configuration and placement) with the original hinges found in our Bemis Raritan PHII marine toilet seat, they were a direct replacement. As a result, the old hinges had to be removed and new ones installed, over the same holes in the seat and lid at just the right spacing. On ours, which had been installed in marine environments for…
