The $50 complete new one is a cheesy all plastic ersatz substitute for
the item that came stock on the most models. It uses a large plastic
"key" for the whole door, not a locking cap with a lock cylinder. The
hole for the "key" is large and anything that fits through it can drop
right into the water tank. I put only purified water into my tank and
the idea that car wash suds, road splash, or worse can get through the
door and into the tank is a show stopper for me. Get a key made for the
stock locking cap.
