@@aldaours8108these are modern ones, where the lid even closes slowly. I have old type but I have the two small round mechanisms that I want to install to have this safety closing measure but I cannot remove my lid like in the video, hence my issue. Video is not helpful to me either.
Dear me! I wish I'd have seen this video yesterday! I've just spent two hours trying to remove the seat without breaking it. Gave it up as a bad job but now looking forward to a successful day tomorrow. Makes me sound sad. Anyway, thanks for the video..
Don't feel too bad! Although an easy fix, a lot of people don't know how to change a toilet seat and will often get someone in to do it. Glad to hear this video helped. :)
Thank you so much! Mine was the second one. I tried to push the "buttons" on both sides to no avail, then I looked up the Internet and found your video.
Pull and release type lid - any idea how to pull that hidden cartridge out ? Need to add some lubricant to help fix the soft close. But using pliers is just damaging the plastic it wont budge. Any tips ?
What do you do if the buttons are knackered and won't release? Had to pull the hinges out if the seat. The use molegrips to yank the actual hing off the bowl. Mechanism is seized. Just rammed it all back together for now. New seat required or parts available?
I have a toilet where there's no access to the underside, so I can't hold the nut in place while tightening the screw. How can I tighten the screw if it becomes loose with these types of toilets? Any tips or products you recommend for dealing with this issue? It seems the toilets in the video also doesn't have any place to hold nuts in place
Why would anyone need a video for such simple seats?!?! I’m trying to remove one that has a metal screw without a head screwed into the bottom of metal hinges that don’t have an opening to the screw. So frustrating!
I've got a single release button on the seat However I can only get one side off, the other pin is stuck fast in the seat. At this point I'm thinking mini hacksaw. Any suggestions?
Hi there Dee, if you email parts@robertson.co.nz with your inquiry they will be able to help you further. Let us know if you need help with anything else.
I am currently having this issues. Screws are all tight as they can be, but something is not locking when I put the seat on, so it eventually loosens while you are sitting on it! I have been searching, but I can't find any fix. Check your screws underneath are tight first.
Yeah, mine is none of those
Same. I feel your pain.
Same bruhhhh😢
Same.
Same with mine. I’ve never even seen these three types of lids. Bummer.

Thank you. Mine was type 2 and I had spent a while trying to work out how it came off, when all it need was a tactical pull!
Thanks for the help! I’ve came across the second type and spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to open it before finding this video.
So glad that this video helped. :)
Mine was the third type. I was going out of my mind trying to figure out how to remove it. Thank you so much for this video!!

@@RobertsonBathwareNZ cheers!..
Mine is type 2. Very helpful video! Thank you!

I would have never figured out the "pull and release" system.
Thank you!
You're not alone. It's such a simple fix, and a lot pf people don't know. Glad to hear that this video helped.
Thank you so much, mine was the second one and I was losing my mind trying to figure it out
You're not alone. A lot of people don't know how simple it is. Changing the toilet seat can be a daunting task.
Thank you! My toilet seat was like the last demonstration. I managed to take a toilet seat off for the very first time haha! 😅
Thank you! Made my day with option 2.
Awesome, glad we could help you out 😊
Thank you solved the mystery for me, yank it up worked a treat 🎉
Glad we could help 🙂

I have the same
I feel you. I get it that it tries to help, but it’s a little pointless when the process is so simple. I’m struggling with mine, as well.
Thanks for that; didn't realise that was all I had to do. Number 3.
i took toilet seat and went to put it back in but its stuck now. Its the 3rd one. Do you maybe know how to get it off
?
And what if none of 3 ways don’t work? I have Villeroy Boch, 2017
hi, what about a connection which has a rod and no buttons or screws ? i dont get it, cant seem to add a picture
I've got a single release button on the seat However I can only get one side off, the other pin is stuck fast in the seat. At this point I'm thinking mini hacksaw. Any suggestions?
Are those fittings universal? The expanding screw thing that came with mine was plastic and broke almost immediately.
They are generally universal, and fit a number of models. If you're in New Zealand, our service team can help you out with stainless steel screws.
Thanks! @@RobertsonBathwareNZ
Mines type 2. But won’t come off with good yanking- what am I doing wrong 😢
What's the name of the toilet type 1, please?
Some pull outward after pulling up bolt covers
THANK YOU!!!!!
Glad to hear that our video helped.
You are absolutely positively heaven sent. Thank you! 🫰
Mine is #2 took me forever figure how to remove it!
Now how do I get the round silver things off. Mine has wee under them. 😒
Subscribe to our channel, we have a video coming shortly.
@@RobertsonBathwareNZ Thanks. I figured it out. You just simply pull them off. Silly me. 😃
@@MG63 So glad you figured it out! :D
Thank you!
Mine has no buttons. Looks like a completely sealed unit. Can you cover this 4th one please!

Mine is no 3 - I’m having trouble locking the seat to the toilet - I do it like the video instructs but the seat doesn’t lock itself on the pins… hmm
I am currently having this issues. Screws are all tight as they can be, but something is not locking when I put the seat on, so it eventually loosens while you are sitting on it! I have been searching, but I can't find any fix. Check your screws underneath are tight first.
I had type 2 : pull and release
Awesome! Glad we could help
@@RobertsonBathwareNZ I just couldn't find how to get that released, so I went to TH-cam . It was really helpful. Thank you!
R-Kelly?
is that you!
..........
👨🏿🦱🎼🎹🎶🎵 I knew it
Obviously more than 3 types as mine is not there 🤷♂️
Mines a lot older than these fancy models
Mine is none of those.
Best
Rich people toilets!
Annoying music
