Thank you! Great video. And the fact you were able to do this one handed whilst filming convinced my husband that he had a chance of achieving this himself with both hands!

[@cherrymacknay4808]

Thank you for posting this. I decided to clean our toilet seat today whilst Hubby out for the day and after I took it apart I realised I didn’t understand how to put it back together. Thankfully your video came to the rescue. Gratefully yours a 50 something Grandmother 👍

You're a life saver. I was pulling my hair out trying to do this when I found your video. Thank you

Same here thank you so much!! This toilet seat is like an IQ test !

[@jackiemawdsley3721]

😅🤣

[@thetiffanystevenson]

Yes!!! I bought a 2-in-1 kid/adult size & it came with the almost exact SAME screw things just and every time I would put the seat on, left side came slightly up so I thought ok, what did I do wrong? I tried to take it off to fix it & the right side kept hanging up. I thought... I'm going to start drinking soon..... Hopefully finished soon....

[@eisvogel8099]

Installing a toilet seat with one hand! Well done, sir. I'm glad I found this video. I got me one of these too. Very helpful indeed. The square at the back (maybe with brand name) seems to be a quick release button to clean the seat.

[@okunrin3]

Thanks. Very appreciate the feedback

[@indefence7214]

Great video. I know what you mean about Screwfix. I took 2 different sized screws that I needed, when I asked if they had any identical ones the guy behind the counter looking at them in a puzzled manner and said no we don't sell them without even consulting his colleagues. I ended up going to my local ironmonger and got exactly what I needed. Screwfix should change their name to Nutcases! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. Take care, Steve. 👍👍

[@okunrin3]

🤣😂😂😂

[@ClintonBacon]

Thanx Okunrin... As do not have the install instructions, newly moved into the house, your video helped me understand that the "Pins" must be at the back. As they were not, I removed and re-installed and is working much better now. Great job videoing and doing the work at the same time.

[@okunrin3]

Thanks you. Means a lot.

I had s CEDO toilet seat which came with minimum instructions and their you tube video is next to useless. Took me just 10 minutes after watching yours. Many thanks.

Thankbyou so much! Mine didn't have instructions,i did it in 3 minutes,your video was a good guide to have a clue.You are wonderful! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷

I’m glad it help. Thanks for the feedback.

[@atb88]

Thank you for posting this. Information is so unclear out there whether seats fit toilets with only top screws accessible. I’m now going to buy this exact seat so I can’t go wrong. Thanks again.

[@okunrin3]

You’re welcome. It was very confusing for me too, which is why I mailed the video, glad it helped.

[@Cylonatreides1975]

I thought i'd bought the wrong size seat as the holes on it dont match my toilet bowl, Then i found your video, and now its fitted. You sir are the Man! Thank you :P

[@okunrin3]

Cylon Atreides thank you.

[@diannemaloney5501]

Thank you so much for this video. We have a similar toilet and need to replace the toilet seat. But I couldn't understand how it was attached because we have only ever had ones that used bolts with nuts that you tightened from underneath. NOW I understand - it's a plastic sinker! Finally an improved toilet seat installation.

[@oluakinwale4859]

Thank u for uploading and sharing this. You state that the bolts were still rolling what u need to do is use your left hand to hold 05 whilst screwing in bolts. That's how u obtained the the firmness otherwise the toilet seat will move when sat on and this will the mechanism.

[@okunrin3]

Thank you. Great idea.

[@enigma375]

Thank you. Great video. Just fixed mine on just now using this video. Easier to do than I thought. Cheers!

Thank you! Just got my new cover but struggling to install about 15minutes then searched on google how to install this one, you showed up and followed your instruction finally did!

Thank you Okunrin. The instructions with the one I bought in Aldi were s**te and only for your great instructions I would have put my head down the toilet and flushed in frustration!

Just for the record you can fit any toilet seat to one of those you can purchase (nylon well nuts) online, you will struggle to find in store but there basically the wall plug looking part they also come in rubber for water tight fitment

Thanks for the video Okunrin and I can't wait to get mine fitted. I have a problem where the expansion plugs are a little too big for the existing pan holes and they won't even hammer through. I don't want to return the seat and I'm wondering if there is anything else that I could use to do the job instead of the supplied expansion plugs. Any ideas anyone? :)

[@trevorwoodsmonkeyboy2220]

Also stick the fixings down first before tightening the screws

I've got this, but my seat doesn't tighten and keeps moving when sat on it 🤦‍♀️ really not happy and it doesn't soft close. I have done everything in this video. I just don't know where I'm going wrong

[@annam16047]

Thanks for the video. Easy to follow fixed my toilet now going to fix my parents toilet seat.

[@ianinglis4446]

This is a ‘D’ style toilet and you should fit a ‘D’ style toilet seat to it not oval style as in the video. Fitting the wrong shape means not only just looks wrong but the supports under the seat may not make proper contact with the ceramic toilet.

[@biancaboshoff]

Thanks I fixed my toilet seat in no time🤩

[@okunrin3]

That’s what I love to hear. 👍🏿

[@666jamie666]

Newer versions of this toilet seat use rubber parts to insert the screws into. Make sure the wider part of the rubber with the lip is inserted into the top section of the holes rather than the other way.

[@hannahleger7449]

How do you insert into rubber part attached to toilet or do you remove them!

@@hannahleger7449 in the kit you get rubber plugs that insert into the toilet seat mounting holes

How do you fix the slow close on the top seat of it starts slamming? there’s no way to get inside these modern lids to adjust anything so I’m a bit perplexed. Thanks.

You didn’t get the screws properly tight, so that thing will be moving about in no time. Better to use a drive drill so it catches the anchor properly and tightens up.

Thanks. It was my first time Lesson Learned for next time.

[@jaswindersingh1144]

[@annamcgovern7898]

[@annsims144]

The white plastic bolt holder which sets into the toilet does not fit the hole that is already there. Can I cut the top from the bottom and then screw the bolt through the top part of the plastic holder and then through the other part of it from underneath. Alternatively can I just buy a different type of plastic bolt holder ?

[@mumsy3373]

Thank you so much, I have never fitted one before, the seat was held on for two days with glue 🙈 cause I couldn’t work out the instructions.

is that the right shape toilet seat for the bowl? it looks more like a rectangular bowl, not quite the same shape as the seat you have, I could be wrong but I did the same job and had to search to get a seat that fitted nicely on the bowl. :-) so more like a D shape seat?

[@okunrin3]

You got eagle eyes. No it’s not the perfect shape, but it’s wasn’t too out of place. If I do it next time I’ll search for a more matching shapes. Did you get the matching shapes? Others that want to fix their seat may be able to do it better by finding the perfect shape. What’s other shapes did you find?

[@davidseed2939]

Wrong way. 1. Measure, 2. tighten but still allow movement so you can you can turn it but it doesnt flop around. 3. Put on loo seat adjusting separation until it fits. Make sure loo seat sits square. 4. Carefully remove seat so the fixings don't move 5. Fully tighten 6. Place on chrome circles 7. Replace seat

Good video, shame about the seat. It loks very flimsy and when 15 stone of backside is put on it trying to push out a big poop, I don't think it's going to stay in one place. Toilet seats that move around when I sit on them terrify me, in case I catch something that is dangling in the bowl between the seat and the porcelain, if you get my drift lol
