Have you changed your screws compared to what you used in 2011? I have one of these toilet seats but the screws rusted out.

I didn't have that problem. Mine has held up fine, just a little patina on the hinge. I live in a very dry area, if that might make a difference.

So far, no. Overlooking my screws they look fine. No signs of rust. This toilet seat has been good to me.

Now that you brought this to my attention, I see what you mean about premature rusting of the screws. I haven't noticed because this seat is down 99% of the time in this particular bathroom. The material and/or coating for the screws must be sub standard for their intended use. I intend to go purchase something different, while I still can; I just hope that the wood can stand the change of screws. In addition, I will contact the company and let them know what is happening. I have pictures of each of the 4 screws; I can send them to you if you'd like, but I would need an email address for you. I can't attach them to this response. tjquigl@comcast.net Now that you brought this to my attention, I see what you mean about premature rusting of the screws.

I just received it in December so no rust issues thus far. But if you take one of the rusted screws to Home Depot they can match it. They have an elaborate in store measurement grid to match hardware.

I haven't had to change the screws yet, haven't had the seat but for 6 or 7 months.

Ours are fine, so far. We love how the wood makes the bathroom look so rich.

Hi Amy, If you contact the seller they will mail you the replacement screws. I had the same issue, best of luck.

Is it possible that the screws are stripped? One review mentioned that this happened with theirs.

I've had an issue with the hinges breaking. My bathroom is small and I frequently bump the overhang of the Big John Seat when I get out of the shower. This is what broke the hinges. I replaced them with stainless hinges and I've had no further problems.

The seat does not move side-to-side with time, as I had one on for over a year with no trouble. The only trouble I did encounter is that I wanted to replace it, as I had ruined one of the latches, and I could not get the plastic screws underneath to come off. Luckily we ended up replacing the toilet, or I do not know how I would have gotten that off??? I did buy more for the new toilets, as I absolutely love this style as well as the awesome quality of the seat itself, so I recommend them, but I will be leaving the removal up to my BF next time.

Yes, my toilet seat has the exact same hole size. I put the Pourty Flexi-Fit on the smallest setting. (Sorry for the late response)

Most toilet seats are not unless you had it replaced in the last few years. If not sure look them up at a hardware site online.

The toilet fits on existing hardware just screw back in. My old toilet had similar set up so I didn't have your issue

Yes, we had the same problem and also had it professionally installed. They "shimmed it" and charged me more for it. I cannot recommend this toilet.

If even if it does fit I would change the toilet out. We had the original 3 for 8 years. They leaked. We replaced and those 3whic only lasted 2 years. The design has a very high rate of failure for the 503 series. Last week we changed those out for an Advantage Gerber model and avoid another flood. Their customer service is virtually non-existentant. Lots of lawsuits againts the 503 series!

I actually have both the chrome and the brushed nickel version of the seat. I think that they are great quality products. The one that you want is: Church 18170NISL 000 Elongated Soft Close Toilet Seat with Nickel Hinges, White

Contact the company. They told me when the bowl rusts out or wears out they had replacements I could purchase.

Well, you don't see the rust... I have had mine several years and been very happy with it. It was left outside in the summer months so the dogs always had a place to lay when they were outside. It showed no signs of rust. Then I went to replace the cover this year and the threads of the screws are all rusted in place. Try as I might, I cannot get them out and think I will have to buy a new one. So I would recommend putting some anti-seize on the screws to prevent rust.

My toilet is elongated instead of "round-ish." The holes and bolts on the frame did not match the ones on my toilet. My husband could not get the frame to line up with the bolt holes after trying for some time. Luckily, I am well enough now that I don't need the safety frame. We put safety bars on the walls.

After you get the back fabric support on, there are two tiny holes in the metal that you're supposed to screw through the fabric and into. I did NOT do this for two reasons: I was worried about tearing the fabric and I wanted to be able to take that back piece off to wash if I needed to. I've used the seats for a year (probably 20x) without the screws.
