I'm not handy with tools but even I could install this door! It's incredibly easy and the videos walk you through it step by step. It's designed to open to the left or right (depending on which way you install it) but I installed it to open to the top so that when it is open, it behaves like an awning over the door. It works beautifully even when installed this way. It is dead simple to program and you can still open and close the door as needed without messing up the programming. I purchased the solar panel so that I could install it in a chicken coop that doesn't have power. Based on location, the panel receives indirect sunlight all day and still generates plenty of charge to keep the battery topped up. The door cost be about $230 with the solar panel. It's the best investment I've made. No need to rush home to close the door at night. I can rest assured that my hens are safe from predators.
