Brevia Quick-Release Toilet Seat (K-4774 & K-4775)

Easy install, metal screws, very sturdy.

Very nice quality. Easy to install, and to remove to clean. The metal bolts seem to hold firmly in place in the nuts, and the gripper feet do not let the seat slip around.

I’ve been searching for a toilet lid that would fit my Kohler and I took a chance on this product. Kohler makes so many toliet lids and usually the videos don’t really show all of the details needed to see if it will fit. But the video for this product was perfect. It showed the style of the catch and release and how it fits. Very thankful because I’ve returned so many because they were not the right one. It arrived pretty quick, packaged well and it was easy to install. It’s not very expensive but then again it is made of hard plastic. The product is great but giving it a 4 because Kohler really should show what the latches look like in their videos.

I needed the quiet close version with quick release. It seems this option isn’t available in the Brevia line. The Cachet line may have the feature combination, though at a higher cost. After inspecting the quick release quiet close version I was replacing, I discovered something Kohler doesn’t seem to advertise: their Brevia line the same hinge part across Quiet-Close and non-Quiet-Close quiet close version, with the difference being only two parts in the hinge hardware. By swapping in the damped “Quiet-Close” hinge cartridges from the old soft-close seat into the K-4774-0 Brevia Quick-Release, I created a Brevia hybrid seat with: The Quick-Release function (from the 4774) The Quiet-Close soft-close hinge (from the donor seat) Perfect fit, because the shell was already molded with grooves to accept both types of hinges The K-1134250-0 ($27) hinge kit shows the two dampers I replaced in this toilet seat; the parts on the diagonal far left and right of the product image. With the quiet close feature, the K-4774-0’s lid seems to close slightly slower than the one I replaced; that one has a slightly heavier lid. Though, it’s a trade off for what I needed and at this price, while keeping most of the K-4774-0’s parts. Otherwise the toilet seat is sturdy, easy to remove, with the quick release feature. And with my re-engineering it’s now a soft close toilet seat.

FITS PERFECT. EASY INSTALL

i have never had an issue putting on new toilet seats in my life until now, and i get two in just one day?! since i was replacing the seat in the one bathroom i thought i might as well do them both. so i ordered this and thought nothing more of it. UNTIL i went to install it. the seat itself looked just fine, seemed to be okay. but no parts? i shook the box and out popped a 'blob' of tape rolled up in a bunch with what looked to be parts inside as well as crumpled up instructions? it had stuck to the inside of the box, why it only came out after shaking the box. it was impossible to open the tape ball without a pair of scissors and trying to cut through the mess for a couple minutes. it's a good thing i know how seats go on as the instructions were destroyed by how they balled them up in the tape as well. then the hammer fell so to speak. inside the pain in the neck parts 'tape ball' were just two small black rectangular pieces. those both went into the hinge area of the seat. BUT the big problem no other hardware was included. there should be quality control processes in play for all manufactured goods from toilet seats to automobiles. unfortunately for this seat there was no quality control, no checking and as a result they shipped out one or more seats sans the hardware necessary to put them in. i thought at first i could work around the omission by reusing the old hardware from the original seat. but no such luck as the design is not standard and i could not reuse any of my parts. this was a total pain to deal with. i had to remove the old seat, find then the new one was missing parts. then found standard hardware would not fit. only to have to put the old nasty seat back on until i get another in the next few days to replace this one. i'd just steer clear of this product entirely. the time i wasted and will have to put in all over again once i get the new one really ticked me off. i haven't had any products arrive with missing parts at my end in years until now. i regret every clicking on this product! oh and the kicker, they wanted me to contact the company directly and have them ship out the missing parts. sure no problem, i'll just tell the wife and family to squat over the bowl for a week or two.

The Kohler commode seat fit the Kohler commode perfectly. It has good quality & the biscuit color matches the toilet color. The price was very reasonable & installation was quick & easy.

This toilet seat is basically nonfunctional after just a few months of use. It looks fine, fits fine on my Crane toilet, but within a couple of months of use, it started getting really loose—it slips and slides all over the toilet. The “hardware” it comes with to attach to your toilet is all plastic. My prior seat at least had a metal screw. Of course, I took a screwdriver and tightened it, only to have it get loose a couple weeks later. Now it gets loose every few days. I am the only person who uses this toilet, so it gets “normal” use, and I am an average size. If I only had to tighten it once in a while, I might put up with it, but now the cheap plastic hardware won’t hold for even a couple of days of use. I have to keep a screwdriver next to it for constant tightening. Also, it has a “feature” that I did not realize it had before buying it: you can “remove” (pull off) the seat, without removing the hardware. The back of the “tabs” that screw it on to the toilet are OPEN. Why would anybody want that??? I suspect that this may also contribute to its inability to stay properly attached to the toilet. I will never again buy a toilet seat with that “feature”, and now know to look for and avoid it. I am also going to look for a toilet seat with METAL hardware, at the least a metal screw. This seat is not even comfortable. Only six months later, and I am fed up with it, and looking for a different one. Very disappointed with this Kohler seat, a brand I have trusted in the past. Well, not any more: I will never again buy a Kohler product.
