Hibbent Universal Toilet Seats Screws and Bolts, Metal Toilet Seat Hinges Bolt Screws with Fixings Expanding Rubber, Toilet Seat Replacement Parts Kit(5 Choices)

I had one of the toilet seat screws break off on a hidden side toilet so I had been wondering how to replace it when I couldn’t get my hands anywhere near the screw. Found these and one of the options worked perfectly. Easy install and seems to hold the seat well. Update: after a while of these being installed I have noticed it does allow the seat to shift slightly, not really noticeable as you are seated but small movement over time. I assume it is from it being rubber and not solid. It easily resets though so it’s only a minor annoyance.

I have a plastic toilet seat, purchased at Home Depot. I don't remember the manufacturer, probably Bemis or American Standard. I had to put a riser and bars on the toilet for my wife, which came with a longer bolt and different hardware. When I placed my wife in assisted living, I took the riser and support rails off. Unfortunately, I could not remember what I did with the original hardware. Home Depot had a replacement kit for attaching an oak toilet seat, which had a usable bolt and nut, but the seat attachment had a large hole. The head of the bolt, even with the supplied washer, would have gone right through the attachment hole. I had a larger washer, but that would have prevented the "cap" of the attachment piece from closing over the bolt and the seat would have moved around. This kit did the trick. It comes with two sets of bolts, on set longer than the other, two sets of nuts, two sets of rubber inserts for the shaft in the toilet that the bolt must go through, and most importantly, one set of washers just the right size. I cut one set of rubber inserts to size with a utility knife so they would not extend beyond the shafts, pushed them into the shafts, put the toilet seat in place, dropped in the bolts with the washer under the bolt head, screwed them in, tightened the lock nuts onto the bolt until flush with the toilet, and voila - a toilet seat tightly fastened to the toilet with no wiggle. Recommended.

The rubber plugs keep the seat in place. It still wobbles a bit, but it always returns back to where it was - no more hanging off to a side. No idea what kind of seat I have. Standard?Was easy enough to install. Just unscrewed the plastic bolts, popped the toilet seat off, pushed in the longer rubber housing from this kit **without the screw inside**, put the seat back over them, then put the metal washers and screws through the top side of the plastic cap opening on the toilet to bolt down the seat.YMMV so get the 5 piece set, just in case one doesn't fit. It has the standard set that will fit every toilet if all else fails - but it won't secure it as well. Ideally you can use one of the rubber ones. If it doesn't fit at first, make sure you have the screw out and try to squeeze it from the sides a bit. I made that mistake.

This is a very specific review for especially those who benefit from a toilet seat riser (Carex) but also want a washlet (Toto). My father has really appreciated the Toto washlet I got him a couple years ago. He's very elderly and generally weak and cannot clean himself, so he has become dependent on the washlet. More recently, he has benefitted from a toilet seat riser that my brother was able to somehow fit together but not securely (every time he plopped down, the riser and washlet would move all over the place). My father recently moved in with us, so I wanted to continue providing that toilet combo but also wanted to figure out how to make it more secure.The Toto washlet base plate has a fairly small hole for their proprietary screws, a hair smaller in diameter than the 1/4" screw. The riser also obviously added considerable length to the screw needed. After trial and error at the hardware store (no screws long enough that would fit thru the washlet base plate hole), I finally tried this Hibbent set. The 3rd "option" worked out: it was long enough to span both the riser, washlet and toilet bowl base (also Toto). Also, by using a 1/4" drillbit, it didn't take much effort to widen the holes in the washlet base plate in order for the Hibbent screws to pass through easily. It's also convenient that this packet obviously comes with washers and nuts that all fit together. Once the screws secured the riser and washlet to the toilet bowl, the whole seat was stable as a rock. Worth every penny.

They work great once you get them installed. I used the long black one on my Standard toilet. I had to lube them up with some soap. ****With the SCREW in the black sleeve about 3/4 of the way through, and using a rubber mallet just strike the top of the screw while in the whole and it will squeeze in for a tight fit. Then remove the screw and put the seat back in and then screw down. I installed this twice on the same toilet after we got a bidet. After a year, the seat wiggles a bit for me but it's very minimal but keep in mind I'm 400lbs. Wife and kids say they have 0 play on the seat.UPDATE***I installed this while visiting my in-laws. They however didn't have a rubber mallet so I used a hammer. As such I decided to use the smaller black sleeve instead of the long ones. Screwed in the screw 3/4 of the way in to the small black sleeve and lubed it up with shampoo. Then with the hammer I hit the top of the screw until it fit through all the way and was flush. Remove screw, put on seat and then tightened the seat down. Seat is staying put so far.

I have the most popular unibody toilet made by Kohn, Kohl, or something .... we needed to put a new seat on it and needed a kit .. the manufacturer sells some ridulous $25 bag with two bolts and anchors ... this looked like a good alternative for toilet seats that needed anchors, i.e. the bolts don't go all the way through. Sorry, forget the word "universal" as it didn't work. All the bolts look good but are all too large for our very common brand name (that I can't spell I admit) .... one should not advertise universal if you can't include a pair of anchors for the most common size.
