The 3/32" steel ejector pin I cut and used for the new post. You can see the blind press fit hole I drilled into the case.

Updated on March 22, 2012 I finally added the trim and cover to conceal the motor. It really reduced the sound of the motor.

Automatic Pop Door

G-Man
I made the door, and frame myself. The heart of the pop door is an "Add A Motor D-20" that I ordered from Sears Online (best price I could find).
Below is the link of my post with the materials and prices I used to make it. It's been working with my chickens for over a month now and I couldn't be happier with it's performance.
