Hello! I should start with an apology. We should have had a presence here to address questions and issues regarding our automatic door. But my 'excuse'... we're older and computers aren't the top of our priorities! We are the makers of the Pullet-Shut Automatic Chicken Door. We are a small...

For those of you who own the Pullet-Shut door, what power source did you go with? I have electricity in my coop, so I was going to just go with the plug-in adapter. The owner told me that with any power surge, my settings would erase and the door would override to the photo sensor if I went with...

I know this is so simple that I just can't "get it". I have the pullet-shut chicken door. I have watched the video and read the instructions. My door is set to open at 8:30am and close at 6:30 pm. In order to cancel these settings, we always unplug and remove the wires to clear the settings...

Hi all, thought you might be interested in the automatic door I just installed on the guinea's coop. After some research, I decided this would be the best option for my setup and so far, so good. The door and materials are REALLY well made. Last night the door shut right around 9pm, and I'm...

Hello Those of you that have pullet shut doors- do you know off the top of your head his to temporarily disable them? We are having extensive landscaping done tomorrow and I had to take down the electronegative run temporarily. I want everyone to stay locked up in the coop until the work is...

Does anyone have this door? I was wondering if I can install this door over the existing hole in wall or does it have to be exact to size? It looks like this door just installs on top of the existing hole on outside wall. The hole in my coop does not match the dimensions of the coops...

Anyone have any recommendation for how they installed their solar panel for the pullet-shut door. We have several option regarding location that will allow for ample light, but I'd love a little input regarding what - if anything - you did to seal the back of the solar panel. Did you mount it...

For everyone who has been asking, there is now a smaller and a larger Pullet Shut Automatic Chicken Door available! Our 'standard' door is still available with it's 11x15" opening. But many customers said it was still too tall (22 5/8") to fit their coop. To meet that need, we have shrunk...

The days are getting longer so apparently I need to reset the closing time more often. One of my hens got her neck caught in the chicken door and the skin is ripped on the back of her neck. Happened last night. The wound is about an inch wide. I can see the skin moving above the neck muscles...

I'm looking into coop doors and was curious - how far does the pullet shut open? Just 90 degrees, or fully open? Any and all opinions on doors are welcome ;) thanks! Heidi

Hi there, So I'm seriously considering purchasing this automatic door, And I wanted to know from others on here who already have this if they could answer a few questions for me about how this works. How does the door stay shut ? Does it have a locking mechanism that keep predators (for...

I am in the process of building my coop and ordered the pullet shut door. It is meant to go on the outside of the coop when being setup. However I am nervous about the freezing rain and snow that might jam it up. I was thinking about setting it up on the inside of my coop and having it swing...

After 4 years of opening and shutting our chicken coop door by hand, I finally bit the bullet and purchased an automatic chicken door. I did my research and decided to go with the Pullet-Shut ACD from chickendoors.com. I ordered it on Monday (spoke with Mark) and it came in yesterday...

So I've had the pullet shut door for nearly a year, and been pretty happy with it. The control board failed once, but they promptly replaced it. Last night though, a raccoon managed to crack the door open enough to get it, and he killed 6 of my girls, leaving me with just 2 :-( Apparently the...

I just wanted to give these guys a shout on on these message boards. I had bought my door about a year ago. I am one of the most unhandy people out there, but it was very easy to install. It was great to be able to go away for a few days and not have to have people come over early in the...

Well the auto door doesn't work now. Those things spoil you!! I'm faced with buying parts for $100 + shipping. Or getting a totally different unit. We're thinking the Ador door. Anyone have experience with that?? I'd like my expensive door to last longer than 3 years. Thanks!!

I am very interested in getting an automatic door, but when I priced the chicken specific, WOW! My coops built from all recycled material basically, and I didn't know they were that expensive. Has anyone made an automatic door themselves? Or have any ideas on what to do? I dont *need* one...
