Getting off a toilet seat

[Ashtonian]

I

As a science teacher doing a demo once, i sent a kid down to a neighbouring lab once for a long stand. Took me a while to figure out why he didn't come back for 20 minutes ffs.

Actually fell for it when I was 14 doing work experience haha

While we're on the subject of DIY I've got a problem with my front door when I go to close it it doesn't feel like it actually closes properly do I have to lift the handle up then turn the key or do I turn the key then turn the handle up some bloke in work said you have to turn the handle up first but I'm not sure can anybody help lads?

Pvc, composite or wood door?

There isn't any job a real man can't do with a big hammer, an old flat screwdriver and a can of WD40.

Random diy question here.

Toilet seat been broken since we moved in on the upstairs one. It broke away not too long ago and trying to change it now.

Problem I have is its not coming off. It's a big bolt with a plastic nut with wings if that makes sense. I have for it so far down but it won't turn any more. Well it's turning but not going down anymore and have been turning it for at least 25 minutes.

Any advice here or do I have to just cut the thing off?

Ok so you've got a bolt running through the back of the seat that this wing nut attaches to. The bolts may loosen over time and then when you try to undo it it'll just spin as nothing is securing the head of the bolt.
Look at the back of the seat by the hinge. There should either be a flap to pop up to expose the bolt head, a twist mechanism of it's a quick release seat or just a bolt head if it's cheap AF. Secure the head then turn your butterfly nut.

think you'll find Elba grease is cheaper and more effective if they have it in stock
