A nearly completed toilet installation.

 

This toilet seat has hinges with fold-down covers that conceal the screws.

 

They supply foam pads that stick to the underside of the hinge and help prevent the seat from wiggling and becoming loose.

 

The seat was placed on the toilet and the nylon screws were inserted in the holes.

 

While holding the plastic nut, I turned the screw with a flat blade screwdriver.

 

Then the covers just snapped in place.

 

That's all there is.

Note: Replacing an old toilet seat can pose problems because some older seats use brass screws which typically corrode after a few years. Often these screws must be cut off with a hack saw or broken off with pliers, as the nuts can rarely be loosened.
