What are lift off hinges on toilet seat?

Instead of bolting the whole seat,you only bolt on two studs with grooves in them and the two pink tabs in the back turn sideways and lock on straight.Made for easy cleaning.

Basically the bolt is still attached to the toilet but the seat and cover can be turned and taken off. To reattach it would just have to be placed back on the bolt and twisted to lock back in place. Hope this helps...

There is a locking/unlocking mechanism which permits the seat and cover to be removed while the bolts stay in place. This can make surfaces more accessible for cleaning.

The hinges were normal but they had caps or covers that snapped on and off. So nothing odd there. First you screwed in the large white plastic screws from the bottom of the toilet seat and then snapped on these covers for appearance

to use this seat you lift the toilet seat (like when guys use the toilet) and place this one on the open toilet.

We had a grab bar installed beside the toilet. We also had a seat with handles and I found that the handles made it difficult to clean self, but without a grab bar the handles could help in getting up. We got it for my husband with a hip replacement. It only took him about a week until he no longer "needed" the grab bar. But the raised height really helped.

All toilet seats are held in place by friction resulting from being bolted down. A seat will tend to shift off center when one or both the hold-down bolts are not tight enough. Therefore, there's no toilet that will not shift if not properly tightened down. The Bemis has a well designed hinge mechanism if only they would include a comprehensive instruction sheet with it.

It has some anti slip padded stickers on the bottom as well as a slight lip around the inside bottom to keep it from sliding around the toilet. It just sets on the toilet, very easy to take on and off.

It's a modification to your toilet seat. Your toilet seat comes off the riser goes on, and your seat fits on top of the riser with really long screws.

I am not mechanically inclined and I love this product. You lift the toilet seat (you don't have to remove it) and then put the handicapped seat in the bowl. There is a projection that hooks under the back lip of the toilet bowl. Then you tighten a clamp (like a vise) in the front with that black knob. And it is just as easy to take out. Just loosen the knob, tilt and lift out. The handles snap on and off easily enough so you can store it back in the box for the next time you want to use it.

I believe it includes the hinges. We have an elongated toilet; the seat itself (which measures 17 and a fraction inches long at the longest point on the bottom seat -- not the lid) is easy to install and fit beautifully. Good luck!

All wood with metal hinges, best toilet seat I have ever had. Does not move around like the plastic ones.

A whole section is on hinges so it lifts right up. Lots of room to get stuff in and out. If you go on lifetime.com it has pictures and a video. I love mine.

You lift the lid off. It doesn't have any hinges. I love the clean up. It is so easy if you don't over fill.

As you can see in the picture, there is a large thumbscrew in the front of the seat. Once you position the seat on your toilet, there is a plastic piece which slips under the rim of toilet, turn the thumbscrew until tightened and the seat is very secure.

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.

Yes, the only parts that are attached are the 3 front wedges which stick with velcro. The velcro could be easily peeled off the bottom of the seat. The back support unscrews and can be removed and replaced the original shorter screws of your toilet seat. I use my risers for elderly guests that need the height and then remove them when not needed. I keep the velcro on the bottom of the seat, though no one would notice that they're there. But they certainly could be peeled off for permanent removal.

Remove existing seat first. Attach the two bolts to the back of the toilet and the nuts underneath the bottom of bowl

If the toilet is an older model, elongated bowl, it should fit fine. However Bemis advises the following: "Toilet bolt hole imperfections can offset mounting bolts creating installation issues. Contact Customer Service for installation assistance. Newer one-piece Kohler toilets use secured nuts in the china for seat installation. Please call Customer Service or your local dealer for a Lift-Off Plus Nut Hinge Kit. Customer Service: 1-800-558-7651"
