"Overall the quality and look of the locking fuel door are excellent for the price. As with many of the reviews that I read on-line I experienced problems in getting the proper fit with the locking tab on the lock mechanism. This required considerable grinding, bending and dressing of the tab, but I finally got the fit I wanted. Also, the swing-arm for the fuel door on my 2005 F-150 could not accommodate the added weight of new billet aluminum fuel door that well so it sagged some. This may not be the case for other trucks provided they have a sturdy swing-arm mechanism. Since the OEM non-locking fuel door was plastic or light composite, perhaps the only way to correct the sag would be a thinner billet fuel door."

"I got the chrome locking door for my truck and all in all it is ok. The locking mechanism is average. The overall fit is good but it is a little loose and hangs down a little bit... this is probably since the door is more heavy than the factory plastic door. BUT since it is a locking door I was able to take the looseness out of the door by putting a small bit of weather stripping on the outside part of the locking part (grabber) they provided. Installation was simple, just pop the old door off the hinge and attach the new one. Although, if you get the locking one there will be a part that you put through the truck that the door lock will use to grab onto. There is NO DRILLING, you just pull that small rubber part out and you use that hole. Now, here is the hardest part of the install, you have to reach underneath the truck and tighten a nut to the grabber part... for the most part this was impossible but I finally got it (took about 95% of the install time). I truly am a perfectionest when it comes to my vehicle and the fit issue probably won't be a problem for the average person. Other than that the only true con I have about the door is that the chrome is a blurry chrome and not a shiney, clean reflective chrome."

"Only issue was difficulty reaching behind the GM vinyl housing with only about 3/4 inch opening to try to get the spacer and nut on the upper stud that goes through the hole where the original bolt was. [We also had to track down a mm hex bit since it was metric.] The fix we came up with was using a rotary tool (Dremmel) with a cutting bit and just cut out enough of the soft housing (about the size of a nickel) and then it was a piece of cake. Also recommend you put a piece of old carpet, or similar, to catch any dropped nuts or washers since they are hard to find (at least in gravel!). Easier on your knees, too! Fits perfectly and looks really good! Cheaper than letting some punk pour contaminents in your fuel! Also amazed that it was even made in the USA."

"The fuel door installation instructions were read a few times, then I started to actually play with the fuel door and the truck. Installation was not bad. I had to drill (for adjustment) the two holes on the left (hinge) side to make it properly fit in the recessed body area. Lock tite everything. Great door!"

"I expected a solid black fuel door but the Harley symbol I received was silver/chrome on a black door w/black surround. It still looks good. Installation required me to drill out the existing holes on my '05 F250 (not a problem). The major problem was attaching the magnet closure mechanism because the screws provided were too short. Fixed that with a quick run to the Home Depot. Everything now is as it should be, except for the silver/chrome."

"Having the AMI locking fuel door provides a piece of mind that I would not trade for anything. I go places in my Jeep Wrangler that are as far off the beaten path as you can get and I like the feeling of knowing that my rig is secure when I am ready to come out. This is a ruggedly built fuel door with a locking mechanism that is secure. And, it looks good too."

"Overall this fuel door is great. Its sturdy and it looks great, not to mention having purchased the locking version gives me a little peace of mind with these high gas prices. The only gripe I have is that during install I had to grind down the locking mechanism in order for it to lock correctly. But the instructions clearly stated that it would potentially have to be done. So it wasnt a total suprise."

The box it came in claimed "No drilling required!" however, when you pull out the directions, one of the first things you do is drill into the car frame.
