subject line says all...

replaced toilet seat last year. SWMBO does not like plastic hinges as
they do tend to look grungy after only short use. So we found a simple
white painted wood seat with antique-looking chrome plated hinges.
Assumed they were brass. Were mistaken - they're pot metal, as I can
see now that the chrome is peeling off.

I just want a toilet seat that will last more than a year. Any suggestions?

thanks,

nate

PS - whenever possible, try to avoid being the person that cleans the
bathroom after both residents have been sick for a week. YHBW.

Groco may. They make a line of toilets for use on ocean going boats.

I guess I wasn't clear... SWMBO does not like any kind of plastic
hinges, caps, whatever- she says it makes it impossible to clean
properly, collects grunge, and the plastic yellows and looks nasty
anyway. I tend to agree but don't really care that much. But anyway
here is what I believe we have:

http://www.amazon.com/Mayfair-31CP-S...7895074&sr=8-5

if there were something just like that but with actual quality,
non-corroding hinges, that would probably make her day. Or at least a
couple minutes, anyway.

thanks,

Nate

any comment on these "solid brass toilet hinges?"

http://www.signaturehardware.com/product8018

thinking of ordering one. For $20, it'd be nice. Plus then I wouldn't
have to buy a whole 'nother seat.

I'd like to know if they come in elongated versions.

Never mind, I see it's just the hinge and not the seat also.

No, in my experience, which is why I have recycled the
chrome/stainless hinges from the last two seats I replaced.

they do sell whole seats too. I just sucked it up and ordered, if
nothing else to get a catalog as well. I hadn't seen their web site
before and I think that looking through the catalog with SWMBO might
yield some design ideas. (I know, website, blah blah blah but sometimes
a paper catalog is still better.)

The plastic is the way to go. Recently I bought a (plastic molded)
Eljer toilet seat/lid for $50, seems expensive for what it is. The
screws are nylon. The plastic hinges are easy to keep clean and
don't rust. Walmart has seats for $12, although these are not
quality.

You might want to look at Pressalit. All of my toilets have Pressalit seats
and the hinges are stainless steel and solid brass. It also has quick
release feature to lift the entire seat off. The only problem is that they
tend to be pricier at over $100 a seat, so it can be more expensive than
some toilets.

1. The chrome will erode just as it did from your pot metal hinges.

2. The brass (sans chrome) will get grungy and green.

3. Your original thought re stainless steel is the best.

Not unless you have a very comfortable doghouse.

several movies based thereon).
