Rob, Wow I can't believe, here we are 13 years later since we first got on BackYardChickens.com. Yes, I am happy to being a long-term sponsor and supporter of BYC.com. I somehow don't think I realized you had an ADOR1, I didn't find your name in my data base. Thanks for the great forum - ROD
The price $299 is not the regular price -- it is the sale price. The previous price up until Thanksgiving was $329 for the ADOR2, so this is the sale price. (If I'm missing something please let me know).
Thanks for your kind post BY Bob... you wouldn't believe how many phone calls we get here at Adorstore from people telling me they wish they hadn't gone for the "bargain" cheap foreign doors and they can't get customer service or troubleshooting or parts. I wish everybody could hear what you...
I am happy to say we usually had over the years most battery reports of lasting well over one year and even more than 2 and as much as 3 years. Then a few years ago there were lots of phone calls about bad batteries, to the extent we have been selling the ADOR1 and ADOR2 with free battery...
These Run Chicken doors are cheap Chinese copy-cats in similar appearance to our ADOR doors and they also copied the ADOR drive. We innovated the Sprocket drive in 2012 and were the only ones with that design until the foreign companies somewhat copied it about 6 years later. My advice to those...
Chickens don't wear wrist watches :) ... they don't know what time it is. If your automatic door has good technology with their daylight sensing, then gppd daylight sensing is ideal. The chickens synchronize to the day's cycle, not to human clock time.
Why would someone want to have to go...
The person you asked that question said they are still using the original battery (free battery) that we sent with their unit more than a year ago. We expect you to get at least a year. I can tell you that we buy the batteries by the pallet and test each one, loaded down, and reject any that...
It is the ADOR1 (not "ardor") to be pronounced "Adore" --- like "I adore it". Also sounds like "a door".
Yes we ARE on Amazon. Used to be the first one listed but have moved down some. We have been on Amazon for years. There're are more and more foreign made competing units out there. We...
I have not been coming to BYC.com to answer questions often enough. Sorry. The ADOR1 responds very well in very shady areas for satisfactory opening time and shutting time. Usually overcast weather or rainy weather, if it affects opening time, it may be 5 or 10 minutes late and sometimes...
While we have so many thousands of happy customers that so often email me or call me to tell me how happy they are with their ADOR automatic door, remember that there will be some people who go to post something on the internet before they've given sufficient consideration regarding what...
I can see this is an old post... but suffice to say if you install an automatic door, you need to watch that the chickens have learned to go in. Before you had the automatic door, the chickens were bonded to your actions. Maybe waiting for the backdoor to open? Maybe some snacks? They watch...
