Program specific open/close times to keep birds safe from predators while maximizing natural light.

Constructed from durable aluminum alloy and ABS, this door is designed for outdoor use. It delivers low-power performance with 360+ days of operation on one set of AA batteries and includes an anti-trap safety function that reacts if an obstacle is detected.

very sturdy frame

I installed my new automatic door on my coop and am sure it would have been amazing. My Billy has developed an aversion to my doors and demolished the components as soon as I left the area but the frame work withstood his attack. I will be ordering a replacement to install after this particular Billy is relocated.

Thank you for the review. We're sorry to hear that your Billy didn't quite get along with the automatic door, but we're glad to hear that the frame stood strong. The Hatching Time Team
