Not according to this girl:

On my RX330 I don't think it really "locks".

When I push the fuel door button it pops open.

However, I can see it's just a flimsy thin piece of metal for a locking tab that can probably be broken into with a pocket knife or screw driver pretty easily.

It looks more like a deterrent with a closed fuel door than being a locked fuel door. Lol

Add, duh, I guess it is locked if I have to break it to open the fuel door. Just not a very good lock tho... Lol

Try pushing on it when the doors are locked, it won't open. Of course if somebody really wants into your fuel door they will get in.

Margate330

Yeah it's definitely latched shut from the inside behind the door.

No way to open it with fingers because it closes flush with surrounding body.

I like your set up the best. a small button that opens the door I’m not a fan of the door lock version

Thankfully in 2008 when Lexus facelifted the GS, they removed the trunk and gas door popper buttons from that inconvenient drop-down pod into a more easily accessible location.

Toys4RJill

oh wow, I never knew that they redesigned the button for the facelift

Margate330

Nice!

Easy is how I like it! ​​​​​​​

I prefer not having to press a fuel door button. Now that the Pacifica has one (my gas Pacificas didn’t have buttons) I always forget to press it.

Toys4RJill

this is a little tacky to me


and especially if it’s a plastic door, the plastic feels cheap to me

SW17LS

It’s a fuel door…you just touch it with your finger and it opens…

Toys4RJill

but is the feeling of it. Some of them are really cheap. Plastic. And then another thing I don’t like is when the door is a circle rather than a square or rectangle

SW17LS

Neither of the fuel doors on my cars feel cheap.

Toys4RJill

Are they matching metal or painted plastic?

Margate330

Yeah, I don't like that as much as my design.
