My 1.5 year old toilet seat has the hinges falling apart too! No more Bemis!!! I will find another way/brand to solve this problem…

I took have two Bemis toilet seats with slow closing hinges. The one in chrome is all tarnished and peeling due to urine hitting it. Seems to me that those hinges would be of stainless steel or some other alloy that would be impervious to urine hitting them. Further why is it that we consumers can’t find hinges to replace them with. This throw-away mentality on the manufacturers part sucks big time!!!!

I have a 50′s house with regency blue and venetian pink toilets (too expensive to remodel);
The plastic hinges simply sheared on a two-year-old wooden venetian blue seat–on the seat portion of the hinge by the screws–suggesting the screws were over-tightened.
Forget even picking up a cheap seat–I had thought about buying a cheap Bemis seat with chrome hinges–tossing the seat, keeping the hinges–and using them. The plastic is very brittle even though it is only two years old! Peeled chrome may at least stay together.
I can’t see pre-paying for a color kit when I still have the box–and color–from the last one. If I do–it is over $80 by the time I am done with NY sales tax.
By the way, Bemis, Mayfair, Church, and Westport are all Bemis.

Three years ago I bought 4 beamis seats with the nice chrome hinge. On every one of them the chrome is almost completely peeled off. I called Bemis and they say only a one year warranty with no replacement hinges availble. They say I should use only a mild soap and water to clean the seat. Who does that? I, like half the rest of the world probably, use Comet! And really not too much and I rinse afterwards too. They are using a very poor quality chromed white metal and have the audacity to expect everybody to change their cleaning habits to suit their seats, when in reality the hinges should be designed to survive the cleaners they might come in contact with. The old make it look like it’s the customer’s fault trick!

Funny how the better brand item (usually the one that costs more) really isn’t any better than the rest. Reticules that I should have to spend to buy an entire new toilet seat cover over a hinge. Imagine if we had to purchase a new car over some faulty hood hinge? Wake up Bemis, before your greed sinks your empire!

Bemis has no customer service, thus far. I have been contacting them for over a month by email. After 7 emails, I have not received even one reply from the company. I have had two toliet seats from Bemis that have discolored after 5 months with following their cleaning directions. I’ll give them a few more days before contacting the Better Business Bureau.
