How to Install a Soft Close Toilet Seat

Soft Close Toilet Seats are designed to keep the restroom area quiet and clean. A soft closing toilet seat will lower slowly with a gentle push. These seats are also safer for children and pets. You can install these seats in a matter of minutes. They are more comfortable and less noisy than traditional toilet seats.

The first step in installing a new toilet seat is to determine the correct size. Most seats come in different sizes, so you will need to measure and match the dimensions of your toilet to the seat. It is also important to use the correct bolt spacing for your toilet. If your toilet is not compatible with the bolt spacing of a new soft close seat, you may need to replace it.

When shopping for a new seat, you will also need to consider the style of hinge. Some soft close seats feature adjustable hinges, while others have fixed hinges. To adjust the seat, you will need to lift the seat out of the bowl, pointing the hinges toward you.

The right type of hinge will allow the toilet seat to lower smoothly. There are two types: metal peg-style hinges and plastic clip-on hinge assemblies. Peg-style hinges will require a locking mechanism, while plastic hinges can be easily removed. For both types, there should be some sort of gasket or cover to protect the toilet seat.

Another consideration is the quality of the product. The cheaper models may not last as long as the higher priced ones. Additionally, harsh cleaning chemicals can harm the surface of the toilet seat.

The best way to clean the toilet seat is to use hot soapy water. This will help to remove any dirt and grime that may be trapped in the seat. However, if you use an abrasive scrubbing brush, you may end up damaging the surface.

To repair a damaged toilet seat, it is best to contact a professional. An experienced plumber can repair or install a toilet seat for you. As a general rule of thumb, a new soft close toilet seat costs around $50 USD.

In order to perform a thorough clean, you may need to remove the seat and place it on a flat surface. You can then clean the inside of the hinge with a toothbrush, a rag, or even an abrasive scrubbing pad. Once the seat is cleaned, you can reassemble it.

Another good thing to know about the soft close toilet seat is that it will not fall over when you are trying to open or close it. This is due to the unique design of the dampers, which are used to reduce noise and the chance of a seat falling over.

Soft close toilet seats are more expensive than standard toilet seats. However, they are more durable, less noisy, and offer more options. Soft closing toilet seats are especially useful if you have a baby or small child. Having one will make you feel more relaxed when you go to the bathroom at night.
