Are the bolts removable? I need to attach it to a raised toilet seat which comes with long bolts. But it won't work if I can't change the bolts.

Two removable plastic bolts were shipped with the toilet seat. You need to put the bolts through the holes of the toilet and install the toilet seat using a screw driver.

I just ran upstairs to check and, yes, the bolts ARE removable. They are hard plastic, but I suppose longer bolts would work fine, as long as their heads weren't bigger than regular bolts because the seat has little lids that snap closed to cover the bolts. I hope this helps!

I think you could, as you put a regular toilet seat above the riser. If there was any adaption it might be a slightly longer bolt.

My advice is to use a wax ring, not the green foam ring for this toilet. The foam ring seems to need more space, even when compressed. My flange is raised off the floor by about 3/4 inch, and after installing the drain piece, it interfered with the bottom of the toilet. You will need two sets of bolts. I believe the toilet came with one set, but some wax rings come with bolts. I used a jumbo wax ring. Just make sure the wax is over 70 degrees before installing.

No more like 5-6" and it has worked out great for me after hip surgery. It doesn't attach with bolts, it just sits down in the toilet bowl.

They are removable. When I considered doing so, however, there are three bolts on the bottom that protrude a bit beyond the bottom. It looked to me that the unit would be stable resting on the bolts as they were spaced far enough apart but I am using the unit on a polished floor so I decided to leave the wheels on.

No just raise them and place directly on the toilet and tighten in place. I had a problem with mine in that it would stay securely tightenen

It attaches at the same points that the seat actually attaches to the toilet base. The bolts that hold the seat on are removed, this slides in between the base and the seat then the bolts are replaced. Not sure about the tankless toilet types but even they have seats attached. The trick to that is - does it use a standard sized seat? If the answer is 'yes' then it should work...and they're always returnable if not.

I can't speak to a Toto toilet, but for a Kohler one-piece toilet with permantly-affixed anchors, unfortunately this won't work, as the included bolts are too large to fit the anchors.

It works on a standard seat (there is a different seat for elongated). The bolts that hold the seat itself to the toilet will fit in holes that adjust approximately 5-8 inches on center. When the seat is lowered, there is a flange that prevents the seat from moving sideways. For people like myself, who had a hip replacement, it is great for not breaking the 90 degree angle bending forward. I will leave the seat on even when surgically I am cleared because it is so much easier getting up from the toilet. The best feature is that men can lift the entire seat when using the toilet. Also,it very easy to clean.I also have a toilet safety frame by Drive (a free standing metal bar)around my toilet which aids me in standing up from the toilet. Hope this helps!

Yes. The bolts are much longer than the standard toilet seat bolts. They are designed to go through the seat, then this insert, then the toilet. The nuts are also supplied. This works if the seat uses a standard bolt (2 of my 3 were not).

It bolts into the toilet where the seat normally bolts in. I bought it for my Mom, and it seems that my BIL had to drill out the holes in the toilet bigger to accommodate the hardware for this. Now a regular seat can no longer go back on that toilet. On the up side, Mom feels secure using this and is quite happy with it. For the new place we have built for her, rather than ruin a regular one, I chose to buy a comfort height toilet and got this Foldeasy Toilet Safety Frame It is very sturdy! I also bought a clamp on seat if she needs it, but I doubt she will need the height. It bolts into the toilet where the seat normally bolts in.

This type of Raised toilet seat does not have a toilet seat cover, and you can't use yours. Your seat cover will either have to be removed or be kept in an upright position.

You are correct. The design uses the existing toilet seat. New bolts are included that are long enough to reach through the elevated portion and the old toilet seat. It works pretty well.

bolts are included that replace the original t-bolts in your toilet, they are plan steel and will corrode but do work. stainless steel or brass would be better if you have to remove it for some reason such as remodeling. all the parts needed to install are included in the package. took my plumber about 1 hour to install because I had knee surgery and could not knee. if you can change a original seal you could install the toievator.

If you have a one piece Kohler toilet, you have to remove the existing seat fasteners. Mine we rusted beyond use so I drilled the bolts out. Using the anchor kit noted, replace seat fasteners following the instructions. Make sure the bolts are reasonably tight before remove the bolt holder arm. Retighten without the arm to complete the process. Good luck!

With bolts just as the regular toilet seat is. Very easy to removed the old seat with a screw driver and put on the new seat. When we moved with took the drive medical seat off and re-installed the regular seat. It only took about 10 minutes each time.

NO! Definitely NOT!!! I had to buy a new toilet because of this. I had a good Toto. It was taken apart to install the elongated riser. The bolts did not fit the Toto. I will trash the elongated riser without ever using it!~ The manufactures should have stated that it will not fit all toilets! Another waste of my good money!
