Installation is pretty simple, less than 30 mins and they use the existing holes (most vehicles). Check out the reviews from people that have ordered the AMI door, they talk about the install, etc.

I am confused. I can't find a pic that shows the door in the open position. How does this lock? What does the door mount to that is secure that does not require any drilling. I am just plain not gettin it.

Some help for us old slow guys would be great.

Thanks

Russ

I ended up getting the Bully Locking Fuel Door. It installed very quickly. It had a nice set of directions. No issues with the installation.

With a little effort you could certainly get this door open. I think it will do what I wanted it to do. Just keep stupid college kids from messing with the fuel. I know that it would not stop someone from stealing my gas.

Thanks for all the information that was provided.

I think you're over thinking what happens at college lol. I've had multiple vehicles parked at 2 different schools and the worst that happened was a scuffed bumper on the mustang that mostly polished out. Kids won't mess with a random truck unless your son pisses someone off first, they'll go after the BMWs or Audis if they want to do some random vandalism. The vandalism won't be stuff in the gas tank either, either stuff dumped on the car or is gets keyed.
