Verified Reviews for Universal Automatic Chicken Coop Door

I researched a number of auto doors for my coop. I was a little put off by the guillotine style ones and I stumbled upon this one. I LOVE it. It won't close if my hand is just barely brushing the safety bar so I feel good that it is probably not going to smush a chicken. It was very easy to assemble and install on my wooden coop wall. The controls are very easy to use if you follow the instructions and I am just using the preset light sensor settings which are working great. It closes after they put themselves to bed in the evening and They are all pecking about in their run when I venture out in the morning. Also, its adorable and looks great on my coop. More of a modern look and less of the industrial farmhouse look that most other doors seem to have. I got the light which I love to use to spy and make sure they all got settled in for the evening. Can you tell I love this thing? I would buy it again, for sure.

Love this! Allows my chickens to be safely tucked away at night if I do not happen to be home by dark. Do not have to be awake at the crack of dawn to let them out.

Easy to fit (on Eglu cube in my case) and does the job

The Automatic chicken coop door is easy to instal, easy on the eye and will hopefully give years of service. The only quibble is that the cable connecting the light to the controller is too short at just under 2 metres. An extension would save one the trouble of extending the super-thin wire strands which I managed after some trial and error.

The door was easy to install, appears well made, and the girls got used to it within two days. The light is very convenient when checking on the hens at night.

I was a little sceptical about paying so much for this automatic door and light but I have to say it was worth every penny. Has worked perfectly since the day I, yes I, installed it. I don’t have get up at the crack of dawn to let the hens out. They go home when the light comes on and the door closes automatically shortly afterwards.

I think I could do an even more glowing review if I had started with the manual door and got the automatic door later, but I started with the automatic door, so I can't contrast it with the pains of not having it. That being said, I love the autodoor. Our coop is mere feet from our bedroom window, but they never wake us up, because the door automatically opens to let them out as soon as the sun comes out. When I wake up, I go outside to check on them, and they are always happily milling about the run, eating, drinking, and doing what chickens do. It took three or four nights for all of the chickens to figure out how to get up the ladder and to get into the coop before the door closed, but now that they have figured it out, they are always in the coop with time to spare, and then safely locked up for the night without me having to do anything (although so far I have always gone out to make sure all of my chickens made it in and that the door is closed). For me, this was definitely worth the investment, if for no other reason than that the chickens get let out in the morning without my help.

This wasn't strictly necessary for me, because I could have attached the control panel to the run, but I wanted it on the coop itself, and this allowed me to easily do that. It fits perfectly, and made mounting a breeze.

This is a great product and my chickens are secure in their new coop! 4/5 stars - only issue is that one of the buttons cracked almost immediately but is still fully functional.

Door is easy to fit and use, good value, and makes a great difference in not having to worry about the evening shut in and morning opening up.
