Verified Reviews for Autodoor Fixing Packs & Accessories

This has automated a twice a day chore reliably; so awesome. After two years of chicken dust and weather, it works as well as it did day one. I recommend it to anyone looking to automate letting out the chickens and shutting the coop at night.

Very easy to install.

A bit tricky to install on a Cube already in situ but well worth the effort. No more getting up at dawn to let the hens out. I waited on the first evening to check it would work and I've never been so excited watching a door close!

I bought my first door about a year ago. I love ,love ,love it!! No issues what so ever. The batteries I originally put in are still at 70%! So easy to install, I watched the website video they give a link to. You can change the setting super easy. I prefer the time mode to compensate for cloudy/rainy days. I'm getting ready to purchase a second door for my boys in their bachelor pad. We'll worth the money if you have it.

I purchased the coop light for use with my automatic door. I’ll be honest, it’s pretty worthless for my chickens. I think it confuses them! My chickens are in bed prior to dusk and when the coop light turns on they start clucking and stick their heads back outside. That’s the awesome thing about chickens is that they have their own little internal light sensors! I gave it 4 stars as the light works perfectly! I just find it an unnecessary for chickens.

As other reviewer stated, the pre-drilled pilot holes are too large for the provided screws. I had to toss the screws and go find some longer/bigger ones to make it work. Not a big deal, but it delayed my install and seems like a repeated problem that Omlet may want to address!

I have been using these doors on all 5 of my chicken coops for over a year now. It really takes the worry out of my head when we come home late at night, and it allows me to sleep in on the weekends, without keeping my chickens hostage. I have had to cal l customer service twice in the last 14 months and both times, there was very little wait time and the rep solved my problem. I am also reassured that they have a 2 year warranty, in case a problem isn't fixable. The battery life is great--I just started having to replace mine recently and it's only 4 AA batteries, so pretty inexpensive. I like this better than electric ones, because power goes out sometimes. One note to users--For some reason, when the batteries are very low, instead of a "replace batteries" message, you get a "door fault" or "door blocked" message, but if you look under the message, you will see the 0% battery percentage. That has tripped me up a few times, but now I know to check that percentage before trying other troubleshooting.

Read many reviews and like many, we had early mornings and later nights tied up with opening and closing the coop- no chance of a lie in! However, that’s all changed now, chicks are out and feeding when I arrive and safely shut in at night- great product, super pleased with the results.

Bought this to try to encourage my chickens to get in their coop at night...and it did the trick! Very easy to operate and quick to install. Highly recommended.

We bought our first AutoDoor in November of last year as we had just adopted** Thor, a Frizzy cockerel and, initially needed to keep him separate from the three girls. I looked at the different sorts of door available and the only type that would fit was a side opening system... there is only one.... Omlet AutoDoor!! Door bought and fitted and has been working happily... the old coop is an isolation unit as Athena, one of the three girls, is a pecker! Sometimes it is necessary to keep someone away from her... currently Venus [our rescue chicken that was almost bald on arrival] We bought a second door last week to replace an existing door that had suddenly failed. When installed, I couldn't get it to recallibrate and the door just kept opening and closing [it worked perfectly on instalation, then I noticed that the Duracell batteries weren't good [despite having just been bought last November for the other door as a set of eight.... hmmmm?] so I changed them and that's when the door lost its senses. Went to "Chat" to discover that there wouldn't be anyone in until this Monday... OK, it was working on Manual in a certain fashion... could live with that. Checked my emails before going to bed and a customer services response was there... nice... I replied and on Sunday morning... please note... on a Sunday... there was a response with all the various steps I probably needed to take... followed them and the door recallibrated immediately and has been operating fine ever since! So, by the time I would have recontacted the "Chat" line.... the door was up and running!! Now that is what I call service. Thanks folks... happy chickens, happy me!! ** Thor crows... Thor crows a lot... Thor's crow is very high pitched..... the previous owner lived in a town.... Thor's crow can shatter windows! And probably tempers.... however, we are 500 metres from the nearest habitation [and two of them have cockerels, anyway.]
