This thing works great. Once you set it, it will open in the morning and close at night using the light sensor. My chickens got used to it immediately. Has a safety feature in case the chickens are in the door, it goes back up so it doesn't crush your chicken. It will go back down in 30 seconds.

I had heard about chicken door openers and came to Amazon to search for one. As I was scrolling through the products, I found this one. To be completely honest, what drew my attention to the product was that it was cheaper than the alternatives found on Amazon. I know cheaper isn't always better, and so I emailed the seller some questions about its quality and durability. I was pleased and surprised at how fast they got back to me with answers.

So I have used this door for 18 months and it has been flawless. I change the batteries about every 6 months proactively and it has never failed. So I highly recommend.

We had previously installed a "ChickenGaurd Automatic Coop Door" - that worked for about three months. Replaced it with this door - much simpler to install, much simpler design (cog mechanism lifts and lowers the door rather than a string on a pulley), much better construction. We've had it in place for about 2 months now and it's worked flawelessly. Highly recommend!

Listen, we all busy. Ain't nobody got time to go out at night and shut the henhouse door. So, raccoons come by and steal an occasional hen and I got tired of it and bought this automatic door. Yall, it's amazing! Works exactly how it's advertised. I highly recommend it and it was a breeze to install.

We purchased the run-chicken automatic door in July 2021. Very easy to install on our coop, and from Day 1 it worked flawlessly, every day opening at dawn and closing by dark. The auto-door gave us peace of mind knowing the chickens would be safely locked in their coop protected from night time predators, and "released" in the morning for daily foraging.

Before we had this door we had to let the chickens out of their coop in the morning and lock them back up at night. This door is a must-have. The installation was easy and it works perfectly. It's so nice not having to remember to close them up at night and go out in the cold dark. We can relax knowing it automatically closes after dark and it's light activated so it often opens before we are up. So, it's a win for the chickens and a win for us.

I've had this installed for about a year and have zero negatives to report. It is installed on a northeast face of the coop so pops open at first light. It stays open until dim twilight. It has withstood rain, snow, and heat without any issues. Freezing rain did manage to glue the door shut in early spring, but that would have been true of the manual guillotine door that this product replaced. Careful heating with a got everything unstuck again, and a simple awning over the opening prevented the problem from happening again. Very pleased with this product.
