Look under the back of the toilet bowl near the top the toilet bowl the seat will be held by two plastic or metal bolts with a butterfly nut or plastic nuts from underneath.

Hi Fixya Team, I have a loose toilet seat and it is difficult to tighten as there is no underside. The toilet seat and cover fall out from the hinges. Please may someone help me. Thank you.

If the bolts spin and don't tighten, you'll need to use pliers to grip the nut on theunderside of the toilet while turning the top of the bolt with a screwdriver. Tightenuntil the seat stops wiggling. Fortunately, there's something you can do to keep thetoilet seat from coming loose so often
Loosen the screws with a screwdriver just enough so you can adjust the hinges to reposition the seat. Temporarily reinstall the seat and lid by pressing them back down onto the hinge pins. Close the seat and lid, and align them with the front and sides of the bowl.

How do you fix a soft closing toilet seat where one hinge has become loose, one side has become detatched

Sorry there is no fixing one. the reason the hinge probably came loose is the wood has cracked and/or the wood got wet and rotted and the screws won't stay tightened. Go to Walmart and get you a new seat.

We have 3 soft closing Toilet seats.Newly installed.One has become very loose. Asking agent/ shop , they showed me how to remove on another modle. Press on white inside lift seat off etc and ecposes the...

Reach under the bowl of the toilet and feel for a rather large wing-nut bolt on each side of the toilet. You must hold these with your hand and tighten the screws with a screwdriver. If you don't hold these wingnuts, then the screws will keep spinning forever and never tighten. Run your hand directly below the toilet just below the screws and you will find them. VERY EASY FIX!

One of the softclose buffers on the Subway toilet seat has pulled

Each soft close 'Barrel' is handed - one left - one right. (One is grey - the other white).

Most soft close errors occur because the seat hinges come loose. When this happen, the barrels slightly pull-out of the seat. (There are silver discs on the barrels - These should be tight against the seat).

Once the barrels become loose the first thing that happens is the top cover won't soft close - but the seat still does.

To rectify - puch both barrels tighly into fitting and tighten the hinges. (See below).

To tighen the seat hinges you need to get a flat headed screwdriver underneath the chrome round hinge cover - and 'flick off'. Underneath is a X head screw which id also hexagonal. You can either tighen both by spanner - or screw driver. (sometimes these can be tricky - but it will come off).

If both cover AND seat do not soft close AND the barrel silver discs are firmly located against the seat - the barrel has probably broken.

If so - spare parts can be obtained here:
