Abstract
A toilet seat lid lock to reliably and releasably secure a toilet lid in a closed position above a toilet seat to deny access to the toilet bowl. The lid lock comprises a hinge arm connected to the toilet lid, a locking base connected to the hinge arm, and a locking handle pivotally connected to the locking base. The locking handle is rotatable around the locking base between open and locked positions. In the locked position, the locking handle is aligned with the locking base so as to form a stop against the toilet bowl and thereby block the rotation of the lid off the toilet seat.
