Soft Close Toilet Seats

Soft close toilet seats are designed to gently lower and raise with a push of a button. This prevents unnecessary noise and ensures a more peaceful bathroom experience. The seats are usually easy to install and come with installation tools. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly and wear gloves before working on the seat.

These toilet seats come with hardware including stainless steel pegs, hinges, and a quick-release feature. The parts are made of polypropylene, are stain-resistant, and are capable of supporting up to 400 pounds. They are available in a variety of colors, including white, blue, and gray.

Some people have reported that the finish of their chrome soft close toilet seats fades after a few months, which is common in hard water areas. If the chrome finish is a concern, look for a seat with a brushed nickel hinge instead. Chrome hinges are also available in red and black seats. The installation process for this type of seat will require access to the bottom of the bowl. Therefore, this seat cannot be installed on toilets with skirts.

Another option is a soft close toilet seat by Mayfair, a subsidiary of the Bemis manufacturing company. This type of seat has a sturdy hinge and works with round and elongated toilet seats. It is also available with a sta-tite fastening system that uses a wrench. When tightened, the seat snaps shut. The hinges are also stylish, with chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and red hinges.

A soft close toilet seat uses a rubber pad to provide padding between the seat and porcelain bowl. It is easy to install and has a built-in nightlight to illuminate the bowl during the night. This feature is useful if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, but don't want to turn on the bathroom light during the night.

Some soft close toilet seats are adjustable, so you can control the speed of the seat. Some models have up to three different damper positions. If the seat doesn't slide smoothly, you may need to unscrew the bolts underneath the toilet bowl. Another type of soft close toilet seat may have a clip-on hinge assembly, which means that it's attached to the toilet bowl.

Soft close toilet seats can be purchased from different manufacturers. Most of these products are compatible with most toilet brands. Some of these seats can be purchased in different colors as well. To purchase a soft close toilet seat, be sure to measure the size of the seat. If your toilet seat is an unconventional shape, you may be unable to find a suitable cover for it. If so, you can order the original seat from the manufacturer.

Many manufacturers include mounting hardware for soft close toilet seats. It is also possible to use plastic wingnuts to secure the seat to the toilet pan. You can also use washers and plastic wingnuts to protect the hinges.
