ChickenGuard Extreme Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener, Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener with Timer and Light Sensor, Direct from Manufacturer. Lifts Chicken Coop Door Flaps up to 4kg

We've been using this in our coop for 6 months now. It's never failed us. We have changed the batteries once. It opens and closes at the programmed times. Haven't lost a chicken!

I wanted to get door openers so I did not have to get up early in the morning to let my poultry out of their coops but could not find a door that stated they worked in very cold weather. I finally decided that the ChickenGuard Extreme was my best option even though they only indicated good to -10 Deg.C. I purchased and installed two openers one on my chicken coop and one on my turkey coop (4 lb. door). They have been installed for a couple of months now using the batteries that came with the doors. The doors have worked flawlessly even this morning with -33 Deg.C (27.4 Deg.F) temperature. I'm amazed that these door openers are still working on batteries after four days of these temperatures. Very impressed. I plan to install the USB external power soon which should be even better but so far no complaints with the batteries. Installation was a breeze for both doors and I had no issues with door calibrations or programming. I use the timer for opening the doors in the morning and manual closing the doors at night. They have only been installed for couple of months now so can not comment on longevity but they have exceeded my expectations to date.

I had been searching for options to open the chicken door automatically for some time but everything I saw made me nervous about the door hurting my chickens. I love this one as I was able to use my existing door by simply adding an eye-bolt at the top. The hardest part about the install was getting the seal to stay in place while I closed it up after putting batteries in. Setup was super easy and attaching it to the coop above the door took just a few minutes. Has worked perfectly since installation. The door opens and closes easily and because it is a nice slow progression I don't worry about my chickens. I set mine with the light sensor and it has worked perfectly for the last month without a single issue. I bought the extreme version due to cold winters, so hoping all works well this winter. :)

Ik heb dit nu sedert enkele maanden. Er was geen enkel probleem. Foutloze werking. Behalve misschien de klok die een klein beetje trager loopt dan correct. Ik stel dit om de twee maanden wat bij.Het kippenhok laten sluiten op basis van lichtsensor is niet altijd eenvoudig. In de winter is het zo al donkerder en als op het einde van de dag donkere regenwolken opkomen, sluit het deurtje te vroeg. Mijn kippen zitten dan nog niet in het hok. Maar hieraan kan dit toestel weinig aan doen. Het staat nu op timer ingesteld.

Installé pour ouverture et fermeture de porte d’entrée et sortie de mes poules.Horaires réglés en fonction du lever et coucher de ces dernières, en fonction des horaires solaires .Je recommande le service après vente formidable. J’ai eu un premier portier il y a plus de 3 ans , le moteur tombé en panne après la garantie . Je rachète un autre portier identique, et en profite pour parler du premier en panne , j’ai reçu pour un prix très raisonnable un moteur neuf que j’ai installé moi-même ( femme de 80 ans )vidéo envoyé par fournisseur .Facile a installer et programmé. Aucun problème avec le premier pendant ces plus de 3 ans , maintenant il a un moteur neuf .
