Verified Reviews for Autodoor Attachment Kit for Traditional Chicken Mesh

I'm not an idiot but I couldn't be bothered figuring out how to do this myself. I know that it's a relatively simple process, but I have better things to do than measure the size of the auto door, figure the length and the thickness of the wood I need, go get the wood, cut it to size, drill the pilot holes for the sides, line up the holes with those on the auto door, and then put it together. Instead, this process was buy online, screw, done. Simple!

I like it. I'd also recommend it if you're attaching the autodoor to a non-Omlet coop. However, the wood isn't coated for weather protection and this means that I'll definitely have to buy another kit, eventually. For this reason, I give an average review.

Overall the kit is easy to install and the door works well. I think having to unscrew the back of the controller each time batteries need replacement is a poor design issue as over time the threads will wear and replacement exposes the motherboard & connections. I’m not sure why a standard battery compartment was not used. Also the light detector is fickle & struggled to give an indication of light intensity which was remotely consistent. The timer works well thankfully as the unit is easy to program.
