Tip: If your toilet seat is loose, this doesn’t have to do specifically with the soft-close hinges. You can make adjustments to the bolts that hold the seat in place to fix a loose toilet seat. The only reason you would need to adjust soft-close hinges is if your soft-close seat is not closing at the right speed.

Why won’t my soft close toilet seat stay up?

The most common reason toilet seats won’t stay up is because the seat was installed too far back towards the tank. Unscrew the seat, pull it as far forward as you can, and retighten. This should give your seat the extra angle it needs to stay upright.

How do you tighten an ideal soft close toilet seat?

You can usually tighten an ideal standard toilet seat by tightening the grub screws or fittings.
