Doors are small and VERY lightweight
4 years ago
The doors are extremely small and lightweight! My husband made different doors to fit what he already had setup and they were too heavy to be lifted. This product says for doors up to 2 pounds, that is 100% FALSE! The doors did close tonight, tomorrow morning we will see if they open with no problems. I suggest finding another product with larger and heavier doors. Very expensive for what it is, you are paying for the mechanism that actually opens/closes the door. All automatic coop doors are way overpriced though, not just this brand. Shipping was very quick and no issue ordering with TSC. This is in no way a review on TSC, we love y'all!

Good quality Chicken Coop auto door.
25 days ago
Good quality and easy to install, with a one-year full warranty. Since I was unsure about the purchase, I added an extra two-year warranty for under thirty dollars, just in case. At around one hundred and forty dollars, I didn’t want to waste my money on a cheap door. This one seems to be made of solid steel and comes with good batteries, not the cheap kind. Take your time during assembly—good measurements and a few basic tools are all you need. I shopped around for a reliable automatic chicken door closer; this one isn’t solar-powered but runs on two AA batteries (included) and can also operate with a timer or solar. I use the timer since I installed it inside the coop to keep the controller safe from rain and snow. With raccoons visiting at night, a sturdy door was a must. I’d buy this product again..

Very Flimsy. Won't even waste time

Thought this had a simple battery back up but it actually is only run by battery. Very cheap quality and very overpriced compared to similar products.

Door to protect it isn’t
a year ago
The door is flimsy and very lite weight. I have two doors and this door was to let the chickens get into the main coop. It can be lifted so if a possum comes, it can lift it and get in if it wants to. The directions are horrible so I found instructions on YouTube. The main chicken door is strong and can’t be opened. I will probably return this one.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Door slide issue
a year ago
This is a good door opener, easier to program than earlier models. Earlier models had one piece door slides, this model has two piece door slides with plastic attachment clips. There are problems connecting the two piece slides together so the sliding door doesn’t catch on the joint. I got frustrated and reused the old slides which work perfect. The company probably went to the two piece slides to reduce shipping costs due to the length. They sacrificed product quality when they did this.
