Are the hinges really metal? And are the hinge nuts and bolts metal? Been having a hard time with these snapping in two.

The hinges and the hinge nuts and bolts are all metal. They do not appear to be breakable at all. And in over a year of use they have not even required tightening. All parts of the seat are quite sturdy and durable.

Yes the hinges and nuts are metal. Have not had any problems except the stool is so close to the wall that it made that side harder to tighten down but the right side has stayed tight.

I will check when I get home tonight but I am sure the hinge and ring on top is metal. Need to look under to view what is screwed into the top metal pieces. The reason I purchased seat was for my 6'6" 320 pound husband who has suffered a stroke. JLG

The bolts worked fine for me, but they are holding up light swinging doors that go to a small pattio. I would call them heavy duty but each application is going to be different. the bolts are less than 1/2 inch. The nice thing about them is they come with a grease fitting on the bottom.

They are metal. Don't get them. You have tp build each one yourself and its kind of a pain.

It is plastic but of a heavier grade than many. It is about 1" thick and the hinges are metal.

They are sturdy plastic and we have been very happy with this product (we have two). Metal hinges loosened up and wiggled the seat during use. This seat has been the best we have ever had for stability.

The main hinge is made of a very strudy plastic material with a steel hinge pin. There are two smaller supporting hinges on each end inside of the lid that are metal.

They're made of metal, depending on what type of cabinet doors you have may need to use a plastic spacer mount them in order for them to work properly. Mine, in fact needed the plastic spacer but it is heavy duty. I ordered the large quantity of these and put them all in my kitchen. I get to do this but I'm going to count every door in my house and put them on. We love them

Some parts of the hinges are metal (Outside parts) While the actual mechanism is metal/plastic mix. It should be noted that in the year i have had these they still feel and operate like the day i got them. And as a DJ i absolutely abuse these sometime and they just take it.

I purchased three of these earlier 2013 and all three have metal hinges. It is a nice product, we surfaced mounted, but they can be set flush as well.

I asked customer support, they responded to put two tabs at the top. There are some faint arrows on the side that should point towards the hinge.

Short version is no, the hinge is molded plastic continuous with the body and the lid. However there are two metal hinge pins. I have owned many of these footlockers for use on mission trips to Africa and other places, they have been overloaded stacked and abused and the hinges have never failed. I recommend this product.

This can does not have metal hinges. The hinges are made of sturdy plastic held together with metal screws. I don't anticipate any problems with the hinges. I have this trash can for over a year and I am very happy with it.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry. Once the hinges are installed on the door, please take a small object such as a nail and firmly apply a hammer to the head of nail.Please let us know if you have any further questions.Best regards,Customer ServiceIntegrity WorldWide, LLC

You should be able to pop the top cover off the bolt for the hinge and tighten it up. I hope this helps. If not i will try to give you a bettter fix. I have not personally had this problem.

They are metal if that is what you are looking for. Better design than I thought.

So far I have not had a problem with the hinges. The seperator has been sturdy so far.
