Product Description

Happy Henhouse automatic chicken coop doors with TIMER and LIGHT SENSOR are built to last. The controller's advanced design and great components give you highly functional and reliable operation, ensuring your chickens get protected at night with a closed door and let out to enjoy the morning.

The controller gives you the ability to use a timer, a light sensor, or a combination of timer and light sensor to open or close when you want. The adjustable automatic light sensor uses the amount of daylight to activate the controller, allowing the door to open and close with dawn and dusk as the daylight hours change. The timer allows you to leave your chickens in longer in the morning if you wish or close the door later at night.

The solid metal door is sturdy and does not bend or break in the event of a predator attempting to get your chickens at night. The door bar keeps predators from prying up the door.

Now you can have the freedom to

Customers are mixed about the size of the animal cage.

8 customers mention3 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the battery. Some mention it doesn't take many batteries and that it runs on batteries that last 6 plus months. However, others say that the batteries kind of pop out and don't always stay connected to the cage. Some lithium batteries have overcharge and some don''t stay charged for long.

28 customers mention3 positive25 negative

Customers have negative opinions about the closure of the animal cage. For example, they say it won't close, it closes too early, and it doesn't stay open before dark. Some complain that the sensor at the lowest setting closes to early for their chickens.

"...it up if you put your hands on the door itself, but it is much more difficult to open. Still not secure, though...." Read more

"...code, flashing once every 6 seconds (OK code) but the door never goes up in the morning, has not worked since no matter how much I fool with it...." Read more

"...So the first night, the door closed a little too early and my chicks got locked out...." Read more

"...Wish it worked on a timer instead of the light sensor because it closes too early even when the settings for the sensor were adjusted...." Read more

Best protection, simple design, works better than solar powered!

Great product, easy install from my handyman. Takes 4 AA batteries that last about 6 months. DON'T GET SOLAR POWERED, they constantly have to be reset! This is the best unit on the market. Works like a charm, now my girls are safe from predators if I'm out late!

A month in, I had an issue, and experienced their amazing customer service. I was contacted by phone by the owner of the company while he was on vacation! He had me send a picture of the unit, then walked me through how to properly reset it, and educated me on proper care and troubleshooting for the future. Very impressed by the quick response. Fan for life! Highly recommend.

I’ve had these doors on my henhouse for about 10 years and I gotta say these are the wonderful and very dependable!! I live in the woods and have to protect my flock from raccoons, foxes and other nighttime killers. I’ve been able to trust these henhouse doors for years. What a wonderful thing!

Easy, Quick, Works. Not predator-proof...

The media could not be loaded.

So, this door was REALLY easy to install, the instructions that came with it are great, and it has been working without error since I installed it a week ago. It works exactly as advertised.

The problem I have is that there is no locking mechanism to keep the door down once it is closed. It's made of a very lightweight metal, so you literally just have to push up from the bottom of the door to open it. I imagine a possum nose or a raccoon paw would have no problem just pushing the door up on the rails.

To help with this, I just screwed a thin board over the bottom of the rails so that the door cannot be pushed up from the bottom. You can still push it up if you put your hands on the door itself, but it is much more difficult to open. Still not secure, though.

This seems like a pretty big design flaw. I'm gonna keep it because we have a dog that does a good job of chasing off anything that comes into the yard, but you might want to consider this if you have a lot of predators in your area!

Stopped working on day 5 for no reason

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

Easy enough to install but something is wrong with the controller out of the box. Would only go up 5", which is barely enough for the birds to get out. Was frustrating hitting the reset button over and over, and getting the error code (nothing wrong with the rails or the string, all clear and easy to move) but eventually it started sorta-working, 3 days before our vacation.

Day 2 of our time away, it just didn't go up at all in the morning. Fortunately I had a web cam on the coop and was able to call in a helpful neighbor to let the birds out during a heat wave. It is now sitting out there with no error code, flashing once every 6 seconds (OK code) but the door never goes up in the morning, has not worked since no matter how much I fool with it. And yes it is in full sunlight.

Returning this and buying a gift card for my neighbor with the funds.

I have a non-conventional coop for my 5 hens so the mounting of this unit required some creativity and a lot of cutting, but since it is a simple design worked out fine and I had it mounted in about 2 hours. I was concerned at first about what seemed like a flimsy door and string, however was amazed at how well it works. We'll see how the string holds out through the winter here in upstate NY. There was a bit of a learning curve with getting the unit going, but that was on me as I was over zealous and popped the batteries in and expected it to do it's thing. My friend, who has an engineering mind, looked at it and figured out how it works. We pulled the batteries, set the door, covered the sensor and away it went! Gave it light and away it went. Such exciting stuff!
I will be building a 'dark box' on a hinge system so that I can drop it over the unit and keep it closed when I want to and without having to pull the batteries. I have yet to play with the setting on it. Currently have it set all the way to dark and all my girls have gotten in before it closes. My run is like Fort Knox so I'm not too worried about anyone getting left out, except that it is cold now.
I love the unit, the girls are happy to get out in the morning, and I'm happy they get closed in at night. I work long hours, so sometimes I'm away for 16 hours at a time. So good to know that they can come and go.

**suggestions for your engineers:
- some kind of external override switch (knowing that you need it to be waterproof, but frustrating to have to take the cover on and off to override the mechanism.
- I see in some comments that this can be done with a 6 volt system. Any chance you can build it to be an ac power unit? My house is on a Vera system that I can control my lights, well pump, etc from my phone. Anything on that system has to be plugged in. I would love to be able to look on the camera, know the girls are in and close the door remotely. Y'all would be rock stars if you could make that work!
Love your unit!
P.S. I'll add pics/video when I get a chance!

Great product, exceptional customer support

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2020

I bought this because one night my husband and I forgot to lock up our chickens before bed. We got very lucky, but I bought this automatic door the next day! I bought the light sensor version. When it came, I went to their website and watched installation and troubleshooting videos. They are very clear easy to follow...and I am neither handy nor technically savvy.

So the first night, the door closed a little too early and my chicks got locked out. I adjusted the light sensor and the next night it was dark and not closed. Long story short, somehow I bent one of the "loops" on the inside and the thing went nuts. Here's the best part: I emailed the company and 1) the owner got RIGHT back to me and offered to talk me through it so 2) he helped me over the phone for at least 20 min to get the thing working again. He was so nice and so patient.

Things happen, electronics sometimes dont behave quite right. The hallmark of a great company is how they handle those events and I found this door and the company outstanding.

The safety feature wont allow the door to hurt my chickens. They are BIG chickens and they fit through the door just fine. My husband and I checked it over and it's secure.
