Drive Premium Raised Toilet Seat with Lock

What is the Drive 12014 raised toilet seat?

The Drive 12014 is a premium plastic raised toilet seat with a front locking knob and no arms. Drive's spec sheet sizes it at 17 inches wide, 16.5 inches deep, and 4.5 inches high, weighs it at 4 lb, and rates it to 300 lb (136 kg). The sheet titles it a regular/elongated seat and says it fits most elongated toilets. Plastic parts are made using recycled materials. No tools are required to install it.

Who is this lock-on seat for?

It is for someone who needs the bowl higher to sit and stand, and who does not want armrests in the way of a sideways transfer. The lock is the safety piece: the owner's manual says the seat must be locked and the front knob tight before anyone sits, and that weight should stay centred on the seat.

If the household seat and lid are fine and you only need height under them, the AquaSense toilet seat riser with hinge goes under the seat you already own. This 12014 replaces the seat.

How does the lock install?

Lift the toilet's own lid and seat. Set the rear wings of the 12014 around the rim, centre the seat, and turn the front knob clockwise until it is hand tight. Drive says not to use tools and not to over-tighten. Some bowls need the original seat removed before this one will sit flat. If it will not lock solidly, the manual says to stop using it.

The opening is wide at the front and the back for hygiene. The seat is lightweight enough to move between toilets, and it wipes clean.
