What are the dimensions of the toilet seat?

This seat is designed for round toilet bowls. Please check the hinge centre measurements (150mm-186mm) against your toilet pan for compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Toilet seat slams shut

Ensure the seat is properly attached to the hinges and that the hinges are correctly installed. The soft-close mechanism may require adjustment or could be faulty if persistent. Contact manufacturer support if the issue continues.

Seat is wobbly or loose

Check and retighten the top-fix bolts securing the hinges to the toilet bowl. Ensure the seat is properly clicked into place on the hinge posts.

Quick-release mechanism not working

Ensure there is no debris obstructing the release buttons or slots. Try gently wiggling the seat while attempting to release it. If the mechanism is damaged, professional assistance may be required.

Fittings are difficult to install

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver and applying steady pressure. If the holes on the toilet pan do not align, double-check the hinge centre compatibility. Avoid forcing the fittings.
