Does this include the door - is it the whole kit or just the mechanism?

Answer by ChewyJul 19, 2021
This door opener does not include the door. It is equipped with an easy-to-use LCD screen, timer, sunlight sensor and highly-durable cord. It is designed to lift a capacity of 2-pounds for doors of any height.

does it have a safety stop if chick is in the doorway

Answer by ChewyMar 28, 2023
The closing mechanism of the door operates on tension/weight on the line. The door will continue closing as long as there is tension/weight on the line and when the weight goes away, such as when the door is closed or something gets in the way of closing, it will stop closing until the obstruction moves.

Reliable

The life of the battery lasts long time. I change the battery maybe once year. I never need to worry about the chickens because it closes and opens with the sun

The life of the battery lasts long time. I change the battery maybe once year. I never need to worry about the chickens because it closes and opens with the sun or you can choose the time to time setting, I used the time setting a little, I prefer the light to light setting..but it is very reliable!! Oh it is user Friendly, easy to install and use. I have used this product for years. Thank you for making a great product.

Works well once programmed

Because it's battery-powered I don't have to worry that it will not work right when we have power outages.

This coop door does not protect your animals from the outside. If they peck on the door it opens. If a raccoon wants to lift the door open they will. It is a complete waste of money. Why is there no lock on this door. So frustrated. This item destroyed my secure locked coop. It is no longer secure.
