Follow the steps below to replace the hinges on a Cachet Quiet Close toilet seat.
- Remove the toilet seat in the closed position from the toilet (Fig. 1).
- Position the toilet seat upside-down on a flat surface. Place your thumbs over the slots of the hinge assembly, then pull up on the grey or black cover to remove it from the toilet seat (Fig. 2).
- Using a needle nose pliers, pull each damper inward to release the hinge assembly from the toilet seat. Remove the hinge assembly and discard or remove the existing dampers if necessary (kit 1109093-* without dampers or kit 1150464-* with dampers) (Fig. 3) and (Fig. 4).
- Remove the grey or black cover from the new hinge assembly. Slide the dampers into the hinge assembly. Ensure the dampers are installed on the correct side. The side of the hinge stamped "L" is for the black damper on the left side and the side stamped "R" is for the white damper on the right side (Fig. 5).
- Place the hinge assembly back in the toilet seat. Push the dampers outward to secure the hinge assembly to the toilet seat. The seat and hinge kit may need to be moved and wiggled around to get the dampers to seat properly (Fig. 6) and (Fig. 7).
- Snap the bottom cover of the hinge assembly back into place (Fig. 8).
- Reinstall the toilet seat to the toilet.
