Disclosed is a device for opening and closing a toilet seat hingedly attached to a toilet, which device comprises an elongated flexible cable having one end attached to the underside or outer periphery of the toilet seat at a position removed from the hinge attachment and the other end attached to an electric motor at a location remote from the toilet seat, wherein the electric motor also has a break for holding the toilet seat slightly less than full vertical or open position so that when the break is released, the toilet seat may be lowered to its horizontal or closed position. In a further embodiment of the device disclosed is a spring on the hinge which urges a seat toward the horizontal or closed position and having its greater urging force when the seat is in the vertical or open position.
