Automatic door

[tstuu]

Hi all....after doing some research online I'm ready to pull the trigger on an automatic door....... I have decided on the ADOR1 automatic door....it looks solid, easily installed and no ropes or pulleys........ anyone have one or any suggestions before I order???.
Thanks

Have you read the huge thread about it on here? All good things. Just wanted to make sure you saw it since it is so lengthy and great. I can try to find it if you have not seen it.

P.S. I have that door and like it. Has opened and closed daily as intended. Still on first battery. Can't recall how long I have had it, but it has been a long time. 6 months? 9 months?

Here is the thread you want.

Looks like from when I posted in that thread, I am at about 8 months on the original battery.

We just got the Chicken Doors.com Pullet Shut automatic door a week ago, and it is awesome. Came with a solar panel, battery and light sensor. Works great.
