In the past maybe 30 years I have bought 1 (one) seat for the indoor throne. One, uno, un, eins,.... one. In thirty years. Maybe 2 but I can't remember more than one. It just isn't or should I say, wasn't something that I have shopped for. Until now.
In the past 6 months I have purchased 3, yes 3 of them. For the same commode. Why 3 you ask? Because the first 2 were total crap. Plastic hinges and poor construction. Avoid them. The first purchase was from Lowes,... I bought a simple, cheap (hush) commode seat. The screws that attached the lid to the seat were too small for the hole,... they literally fell out. After trying to glue them back, it failed again. This was about 2 weeks after installation. 2 weeks!! When the glue also failed I went to Amazon to purchase a replacement.
This one arrived and we were so excited,... (hush). After a couple of months the hinges started separating. In other words, the hinges were having a come apart. With that said,... we started looking at what it would take to build an outhouse. The kind with the hole cut in the wood to sit on. No seat required. This was a good option I thought since I wouldn't accidently leave the seat up again. Or so it seemed to me,....
Anyway we went with option number 2,... no pun intended. Introducing option number two, dos, deux, zwei,... two.
Metal hinges,... after much researched and consulting NASA and the Army Corp of Engineers,... metal hinges are now the way to go to avoid what we went through.
