I have this door and absolutely love it! We just got into chickens this spring, built a coop, and installed this door from the get go. It has worked flawlessly since we started. I had a hiccup when it got stuck on one of the programming screens, but I just took the batteries out for a minute to let it reset and it’s worked ever since. I can’t sing the praises of this door enough. If your on the fence about purchasing, jump off and go order it now! 😊🐓

I'm right there with you I wanted an automatic door for a while. I've never seen one I really liked though they're all pretty much the same but this one looks pretty cool. It would really be nice if it had a solar adapter as well Most of the time with the coop inside the corncrib we don't even close the coop door, this would definitely be nice during those colder days when I don't feel like running back out to the coop. The price seems to be in line with many of the other automatic doors.

If you had a small solar panel, that could provide 12 volts, it would be perfect for this product. It doesn't take much power to open (or keep the memory). I bet you could find something that would work. Let me know if you do. It might be worth me installing the panel on the outside of our barn door. Cheers!

@TheOldSwedesFarm
@TheOldSwedesFarm 2 месяца назад
I don't know what the voltage requirements are for the door. You'd want to have it matched correctly to not burn it out. With the low battery usage, I'm going to stick with batteries. We have yet to replace batteries after a year+ of usage. If you get it hooked to solar, let us know. Take care!

Great video ! I'm interested in something like this for the new coop we're building. Really, I prefer solar power, but batteries are cool too. I won't be running electricity out to the coop. Would you consider updating us on the battery life in the future? Some of the door openers that I've seen with a battery option say they only last for a few days ! 6 months sounds amazing in comparison !
@TheOldSwedesFarm
@TheOldSwedesFarm Год назад
We've had this installed for over two months now. I just checked and it shows the battery life at 100%. It really doesn't use much power each day to open & shut the door. So far, so good! We highly recommend this door. You can use the link in the description to buy one (and I think there is a discount). Cheers!

Nice review. Do you have a video showing how you adapted it to the metal? I’ve god siding of a similar profile and thought this door might be easier to adapt than the vertical lift ones. I’ve been looking and can’t even find a picture of the back of the door to help me understand what I might need to make it fit. If it’s not too heavy, there’s always the possibility it might work better installed into the 1cm wire mesh (warm climate) door.

Thank you for the idea for a video! I just had another person asking about this too! I'll try to get a video out ASAP for you! It's pretty easy to adapt and I hope my way of constructing the supports will work for you. Thanks again for the idea! Have a great weekend!

I’m interested in this brand because it’s plastic and opens from the sides. But I have questions and maybe you can answer them. So I have had the “Extreme” Chicken Guard door since the beginning (3 1/2 years) and I absolutely love it. But it opens/closes differently. New coop, I’ll need it to open a different way. I’m looking at the track on yours (at the bottom). We know chickens will get stuff stuck on their feet from time to time. I’d love to know any solutions to keep the track clean and/or if it gets easily gunked up and if it affects the closing of the door? I framed my door out (orig coop) and that helps. But I don’t have any tracks on the bottom (just the sides). So I’d love to know more about that. New chicks come next month and we’ll start building the new coop shortly afterwards. So I’m actively looking for a door.
@TheOldSwedesFarm
@TheOldSwedesFarm Год назад
I think you'd love this door. I've been watching the track. So far there hasn't been much "gunk" in the door. It's been dry and sunny so not much chance for mud. I'll keep watching this for you. Check back with me and I can send some photos in a few weeks.

@@TheOldSwedesFarm that would be awesome. Thank you!!! I’m so used to only thinking about the 6 month battery life, and that’s it. But I also need a door that opens a different direction. So thank you for keeping an eye on that. I’ve looked at a couple of other doors. Either they’re metal or they don’t look like they secure very well. This looks like it might be my solution. So yes, I’ll get back with you. TY.

@rubatoguy
@rubatoguy 8 месяцев назад
We have this door and the bottom of the door track is about even with the floor of the coop. (Note the door in this video, the hens step up to.) Because of that, we have had many problems when the weather turns damp, the hens will kick bedding debris into the track, and the dampness tends to cause the debris not to fall free. The door will try to close 3 times, then will stay wide open. Unfortunately, we did not figure out what was happening right away and lost a hen to a predator because the door was open. So my recommendation is that you need to figure out some kind of guard if the door is close to the same level as the coop floor. It is too bad because it is a great door. We have had the same batteries in for 6 months and they are holding their charge well.

You mentioned that you have lights on in the coop when they go in for the night, are the lights absolutely necessary for the girls to go in? And if they are, are they on a timer or anything to shut off layer? Thanks for reviewing, it looks like a great addition!

@sued9160 Год назад

@TheOldSwedesFarm
@TheOldSwedesFarm Год назад
We have lights in the barn that are on from 6am - 10pm every day. It gives them the necessary light in the winter to continue laying. It also gives continuity for light for the hens. We've got a video "How To Train Free Range Chickens To Return To Your Coop" that shows the lights pretty well later in the video. We use large floodlights to keep the entire barn lit. It's not too bright but the light will shine out the door, so the girls will see it and head in at dusk. I don't think it is 100% necessary but it sure helps them return to "home." I hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching Sue!

Our door is now 15 months old and it works perfect. It is still running on the original battery pack! I'm assuming you could hook a solar panel to something that the unit could plug into. For me, the door is on a moving (larger) door. It's not practical for me. Since it lasts so long on the batteries, I have no need to go solar on this door. Hope this helps.
