KOHLER 4636-RL-0 Cachet ReadyLatch Elongated Toilet Seat Slow Close, Soft Close Toilet Seat Quiet Lid, Contoured Grip-Tight Bumpers Installation Hardware, Apartment Essentials, White White Elongated Ready Latch
Overview
The KOHLER Cachet ReadyLatch elongated toilet seat is a user-friendly replacement seat designed for households, rental units, and small remodel projects where easy installation and low maintenance matter. It fits most elongated toilets and uses KOHLER’s ReadyLatch top-mount system so installation requires only a screwdriver—no reaching under the bowl. The seat combines Quiet-Close soft-close hinges to eliminate slamming, Quick-Release hinges for fast removal during cleaning, and Grip-Tight bumpers that help keep the seat stable on the bowl. A contoured profile adds comfort while the durable molded plastic finish resists stains and chips. It’s a practical upgrade for anyone who wants quieter, cleaner, more reliable daily use without professional help.
