Mine is on a timer. We purchased a drapery motor on-line and plugged it into a digital timer. Instead of pulling a drapery rope, it pulls our pop door cable. But you can purchase the auto doors as units...just google "auto chicken door" or "auto pop door." PM me if you have specific questions...

That sounds nifty. I'd love to see some pics of that set up and a little more info.

Hi JennB, this is the one we bought. Works great. Easy to install too. Might work for you? We also bought a timer at Lowes.

I bought one of these excellent doors: http://www.foyspigeonsupplies.com/catalog/2100-2107.html

I've been trying to think how to retrofit two other coops, not built the same way as the coop I'm using the auto door, to accept some other style of pop door so I CAN use one on them.
