I don't understand, I thought all toilet seats work that way.
The only way I know to keep the seat from being pushed down is to remove it.
If the problem is just poor shooters, maybe a urinal would help with the problem.

Self lifting toilet seat
Does anyone know where I can purchase a toilet seat that stays up until it is pushed down. We want to install these in our men's restrooms at work. We have a lot of truck drivers use our restrooms. They urinate on the seat, and when you're in a hurry to "go" this can be very upsetting. Besides it's just plain filthy. Thanks!

There isn't enough space for a urinal, unfortunately. I do not want a seat that you can not push down. I am looking for a seat that stays up until someone pushes it down. This helps to keep people from urinating on the seat. Here is a link to a product, which if the company still existed I would buy. http://www.strangenewproducts.com/2005/07/self-lifting-toilet-seat.html
I just googled "self lifting toilet seats" and got several good web sites to check out. I'd have a real problem with one of those as my wife after 40 years has finally got me trained to put ours down!!!! Maybe a sign behind the stool saying the seat is electrified when in the down position:thumbup:.
I've also tried a Google search. Unfortunately it seems impossible to actually buy one. I do not want one you use your foot to lift. Please let me know if you find one with an option to buy. Thanks!
Did you try chasing the www.prweb.com "ASC Elite Seat" site? I see it has a phone number also? Just thinking if you pursue a manufacturer maybe they can give you a local dealer!
I did find that number on prweb earlier, and tried calling it. It's no longer a working number.Did you try chasing the www.prweb.com "ASC Elite Seat" site? I see it has a phone number also? Just thinking if you pursue a manufacturer maybe they can give you a local dealer!
A rope and pulley
Just locate a small pulley on the wall above and tie a line to the side of the seat and run it up through the pulley with a 2 lb weight on the other end. Stays up until 2 lbs pushes it down. Sort of like self closing gates on the farm. Might want to use "waterproof" vinyl coated line...:whistling2::laughing: bill

This was a very helpful link. Thank you for the really nice research you did on this. I think I might purchase the Kohler K-4672-0 with Self-Raising Hinge. I do wish there were some reviews or videos showing it in action, but you found what I was looking for, and I am very grateful. Thanks!
Thanks for the education.
I learned something today, i.e. self raising seat
ps I suggest using a nut driver to fasten the mounting nuts securely and then checking their tightness periodically.
With all the up/down stress they may loosen over time.
