how to tighten bemis slow close toilet seat

If you mean "tighten" so that the seat doesn't slide around when you sit on it, here is what you do: pop up the tulip-shaped covers at the back of the closed seat (a bottle opener works great for this), then use a scredriver to tighten the plastic screws. If, however, you are asking how to make the seat close slowly again and this suggestion doesn't do it, you will need to contact the manufacturer.

Make sure you received directions and all the parts (check against the packing list).... The comments from others explain the install process very well so I won't repeat those. Good Luck.

the directions came with ours,1. put the screw posts on commode first and tighten them,2. then the seat caps snap down on top of them and turn a quarter turn to lock,( they must be in the unlock position to snap down on the posts).3. They lock on and can be taken off again for ease of cleaning.

I had a problem with that too. I remember watching a video on YouTube that explained it and it was really easy after watching the video. If I remember correctly you push the top of the hinge to the side allowing you to remove the lid. Then you're able to turn the screws from the top - not the bottom. I was trying to turn from the underside of the toilet and there wasn't room. Try googling Bemis easy change toilet seat installation and a YouTube video will be one of the first results. Hope this helps you!

Take off present seat, included in new seat are two long bolts that go into the two holes in toilet bowl. Very simple operation, attached nuts to bolts and tighten screws, after a day or two of use, retighten bolts.

You have to work it slowly like I'm sure youve already tried. I Even slightly bent in a small bit of the side to get it to at least start. Then wiggle it around in a circle til it finally seats. Its a pain in the Butt. Sorry no great secret way.

If the only way to screw in seats is from the top, then no. This one has to be screwed in from the bottom. Google (web search) the phrase: "How to Install the Bemis Sta-Tite Whisper Close Toilet Seat"And you will find a YoutTube video that shows you how it needs to be installed.

There are two really long screws that attach just under the regular toilet seat that hold the toilet seat and the riser together on the toilet. I have tightened mine once in several months.

There is a pull nob that screws in for extra security or just pull adjust and release. Located right below the seat

There is an adjustment knob on the underside which allows you to change how close the back is to the seat. Unscrew the knob and the back comes off.

The toilet seat must be removed first. Place the mounting brackets of the safety rail over the holes, for the toilet seat, behind the toilet bowl. Place the toilet seat mounting holes on top of the safety rail mounting brackets. Run the seat mounting screws through seat, safety rail and toilet bown and secure with seat nuts. Adjust the front legs to level the horizontal handles of the safety rails.

We tightened it with a wrench and now it stays put. It is a sturdy seat and easy to clean.

There nuts under some caps where it hinges. Tighten those , you should be able to tighten it to the point where it is hard to move.

The screws on the side of the seat must be screwed in tighter...there's a screw on the left and the right, use the wrench that you received in the package.

I have had the same problem. It appears to me that the spacing for the holes on the toilet are not the same as for the seat. The difference is probably one-eighth inch or less. The bolts from the seat are at a slight angle (both away from the toilet) on the underside. Tightening the nuts doesn't change that. The slope on the bolt prevents the nut from making solid contact with the porcelain surface on the underside. I suspect the Bemis seat has standard bolt spacing and the "designer" toilet has non-standard (slightly larger) hole spacing. I plan to file down the bolts where they contact the porcelain within the holes and see if that helps. I have had the same problem.

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

There's a knob on the bar that the seat sits on. You loosen the knob, pull up on the knob and slide the seat up or down to the required length. There are grooves in the bar for the adjusted lengths. When correct length found, tighten knob.

I bought a Bemis Eljer round toilet seat on Amazon which was notelongated and did work.
