Frequently Asked Questions

How does the anti-trap safety feature work?

faIf the door detects an obstacle while closing, it stops, rises slightly, pauses for 10 seconds, and retries up to 3 times. If the obstacle is still present after 3 attempts, the door stays open and re-tests periodically to ensure no bird or object is trapped.

How long do the batteries last and what type are required?

The door runs on three AA batteries and delivers approximately 360+ days of operation on a single set. A low-battery indicator will alert you when it's time to replace them.

Is this door weatherproof?

Yes. The door is rated IPX4, meaning it is protected against rain and splashing water. It is constructed from ABS and aluminum alloy for durable outdoor performance. The recommended operating temperature is 59-140°F (15-60°C); outside this range, manual mode should be used.

Can I override the timer and operate the door manually?

Yes. You can use the up or down buttons at any time to open or close the door immediately, regardless of the programmed schedule. There is also an emergency stop function: press the arrow button to instantly halt the door mid-movement.

What are the door dimensions and what birds is it suitable for?

The door measures 9.6" wide x 12.9" tall x 2" deep and weighs 2 lb. It is suitable for chickens, ducks, quail, partridges, and pheasants.

Amazing

We have 5 hatching time 5 tier quail hutches and a five tier quail brooder and they are Amazing. About to get a large incubator from them . This is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ company that sells ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ equipment!

Thank you for the review of our amazing products - The Hatching Time Team.

Perfect for my flock

The timer has been spot on, adjusting easily with the seasons. My hens are secure and happy.

Seasonal flexibility is a big advantage — glad the timer works well for you!

Life Changed!

This smart automatic chicken coop door with timer has transformed my mornings. It opens at the same time every day and closes securely at dusk without me having to step outside.

We’re so glad it’s brought ease to your daily routine. Predictable automation is one of the biggest benefits!

Great install instructions

Took about 30 minutes to mount and program the timer. Very clear instructions.

Perfect for off-grid coops

I don’t have electricity in my coop, and this timer door works great with a simple power setup.

Off-grid friendly performance is essential. Thanks for the review!

Predator protection!

I sleep better knowing the door closes on its own. No more worrying about nighttime predators.

Predator protection is a key benefit. We’re glad it’s giving you peace of mind!

I set the timer and forget it — no surprises.

That “set and forget” simplicity is what we aim for.

Nice convenience feature

Convenience is the reason many flock keepers upgrade.

Took a few minutes to understand all settings, but totally intuitive after.

A short learning curve for long-term gain — great feedback!

Could use better manual override

The manual button is a little slow to respond, but the timer part is perfect.

Appreciate the constructive note — we’ll share feedback with the team.

GOOD VALUE

Not the cheapest, but worth it for the convenience and peace of mind.

Thanks for the balanced insight — value comes from reliability!

Great timer logic

The way the timer adapts to changing daylight is very accurate.

Thanks for highlighting the smart timing behavior!

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
