If you can see the hinge, is it steel or plastic? We have a plastic Simple Human model with a plastic hinge that just broke, so looking to upgrade.

I'm not sure, but I have two that have worked perfectly, one for over 3 years and 1 for more than 2 years.

This is a little embarrassing but we have had ours for over 10 years. It still looks great even after 2 cross-country moves!

It has plastic hinges, but this is a very sturdy can. I've had it for a couple of years and I love it. Highly recommend it.

The door on mine is made of steel and plastic that looks like stainless. It looks nice and works very well.

Unfortunately the hinge areas are stamped plastic--not actual articulated plastic hinges per se. I'm afraid that's likely an indication long-term usage isn't an option with this particular one, either.

steel....no plastic parts. My very picky husband who will only use good equipment. No "junk". He was well pleased.

It's a hard metal....probably steel. We used these to replace our polished silver hinges (that I considered an eyesore) and we are very happy with them.

It is not plastic, it is metal. But I would not recommend it anyway. The metal main body cracked on me. I do not know why - I did not overload it at all. I just noticed once that there was a crack there. It is still usable, but I will buy another.

It was plastic, very flimsy. I returned the item and got a stainless steel from local hardware store.

HI. I think it is a hard plastic, like PVC. Not a metal ou iron figure. There are metal parts inside, for the light mechanism

The main hinge is made of a very strudy plastic material with a steel hinge pin. There are two smaller supporting hinges on each end inside of the lid that are metal.

The hinges are a sturdy plastic. I have had no problem with the hinges loosing or breaking. This is the best toilet seat I've ever purchased. I plan on getting another one to give to my brother.

It is plastic, If it does ever break parts are available from the manufacturer.

Mine is plastic. Way cheaper than the aluminum model, or it was when i bought it off Amazon.

It is plastic and metal. The metal part isthe front part you wedge under the door. With the battery it weights more. It really works. Very accurate and loud. I urge you buy two.

It is plastic. You have to be careful finding it in the box and installing it safely. It gets installed at the top of the front door of the box and on the top of the box at that door front.. Mine works fine. Once it's installed, you still need to remember it is only plastic.

The hinge is flex plastic and it does have a locking clip, but that's plastic too.

No problems with the hinge for us. My son uses his ipad daily and is kind of hard on things (autistic) it has held up, we've had it about 6 months.
