    My toilet seat has not closed properly for ten years and I just fixed it in 5 minutes with this video! Thank you so much.

    And this is why I love UA-cam. Our new home has top fixing soft closers that were starting to move around like no-one’s business. Although not the same fixings, your concise and watchable tutorial helped me discover two buttons and ta da! No more moving seats, both are now properly aligned, and I can get in to clean them. THANK YOU!!!

    Omg!!! You've actually SAVED my life. I even contemplated getting someone out to do it for me. The charge would have been £25 and then they started recommending a new toilet seat when mine works perfectly fine. Just needed tightening. Thank you soooo much. Definitely will give you a follow

    Thank you so much, so friendly, simple easy instructions to follow. After ages of a wonky seat, waiting for someone to slide into the wall, woo hoo fixed in a couple of minutes, you made it so simple to do. Yipee. Can't thank you enough. Heather, Mansfield Vic. Aust.

    Thank you! Can’t believe it’s this easy and now I know the best hack ever for cleaning. So dumb that I never knew I could take the seat off so easily. In return, here’s a tip: if you sit on the aisle row of a plane and the handle annoys you because it’s fixed, there is a button under the handle near the seat that, when pressed, allows you to LIFT the handle. You can now get in and out without climbing over!

  • @johncarter3374
    @johncarter3374 2 місяці тому

    Thank you. Problem solved. Took more than five minutes. First my seat had two horizontal silver buttons. Secondly the caps didn’t just pop off after seven years I had to persevere to get a knife blade just to lift the cap without levering the pin assembly upwards. Finally I realised that leaving the seat central was important so I had to release the other pin/cap loosen the tight bolt and position both before retightening. Piece of cake once you know how 😃. Thanks again

    Fun fact: Underneath the cap there are two holes with rubber tubes inserted. At the bottom of each tube is a bolt used for fixing the screws. Don't unscrew your screws too far or the bolts will fall into the body of the toilet! Live and learn. Bunnings Warehouse has replacement kits that include all the parts in a single kit.

    You've been incredibly a lot of help in my home, I can't thank you enough!!! Question is there anything that could be done to keep the screws from rusting so quickly on the toilet seat I was afraid of oil or any type of Grease afraid that it might loosen the screws defeating the purpose in the first place?

If y’all ever come to the states let me know and I owe you a beer if you’re in the northeast. I was ready to smash this bit with a sledgehammer

  • @y002cjw
    @y002cjw 2 роки тому +9

    In my experience the plastic butterfly screw wears out. I usually add an additional metal washer and screw, effectively making the butterfly a washer.
    Also have a theory - use a cork from a wine bottle, pared down to fit inside the porcelain hole and a hole to allow the fixing through. This should stop the wobbling when the fixings are no longer fully functioning.

    I've just fitted a new toilet seat because the old one was here before we moved in and basically disintegrated. I've tightened it all up but it still moves, I've been given the fittings in with the loo seat but they are plastic, could this be the source of the problem? (P.S. I've never fitted a toilet seat before)

  • @PreNeanderthal
    @PreNeanderthal 3 роки тому +1

    Yes, it's easy peasy. Done it that way many times with both the top and bottom type. . . . . And after a few weeks they start to move again, so how do you prevent that? I've Googled it and many supposed experts recommend adhesive washers. Trouble is, nowhere in the UK seems to stock adhesive washers. Only place I've come across which makes them seems to be in the USA. Now I'm just waiting to hear if they ship to the UK.

    I have a problem with the wobbling seat cover of our urinary bowl. it is similar to the 1st tutorial you demonstrated where the one you demonstrated has a snap button at the middle to unlock it whereas in my case, it has no snap button. any other demo on this kind of urinary bowl and how to unlock it?
