Snap 2 Secure is a patented, installation system that secures your toilet seat so it will not loosen with use.
Why do we have it?
Bemis constantly conducts consumer research... thousands interviewed, one of the top two concerns is "loosening seat"
Bemis took on the challenge to solve this issue and address the consumers' concern
How did Bemis find the solution?
To solve the challenge, Bemis must first identify why seats loosen with use
Through science and testing, Bemis determined that seats loosen due to insufficient clamping force
Furthermore, the clamping force must be maintained through the "life" of the seat
Bemis also determined how the loosening process started and accelerated with use
Bemis's engineering team generated multiple designs and tested diverse materials looking for the perfect combination of performance and installation simplicity... they found the solution!
How does it work?
Each component of the system is engineered to generate and maintain the correct claming force
Bushing stabilizes the mounting bolt... restricting movement, the busing prevents the nut from loosening
Thrust Washer makes tightening easier and restricts nut movement, preventing it from loosening
Shear Line is engineered to snap when the correct claming force is achieved, ensuring a secured seat
Installation Head accepts the Installation Tool for final tightening... head will snap off when correct clamping force is reached
Nut maintains the claming force and prevents loosening... remove by simply turning with the Installation Tool
Installation Tool included providing you the right tool to properly secure your seat
The system is patented and over 10 million seats have been successfully installed using this system
How do we know it works?
Bemis conducts industry standard tests (ANSI 124.5) as well as Bemis specific test to simulate actual use over time
Bemis's "Side to Side" test simulates user movement on seat
Snap 2 Secure has been tested to over 30,000 cycles on the Side to Side test without any loosening of the seat!
Competitive risers and elevated seats do not achieve the correct clamping force and loosen easily during this test
Why is it important?
A secure seat is a must for anyone with sitting or standing issues
A secure seat provides independence... the user can trust their seat
Loose seats are more difficult to sit on and stand up from, increasing risk of a fall
