Best automatic door?

[ThisoldNHhen]

Hello I am thinking of breaking down and getting an automatic door. What's anyone's opinion on best one (hoping to keep the cost down)?
Thanks

Lots of previous posts with door mentions...I have and love my Ador. We do not have power at the coop. The Ador runs off a lantern battery.

Check out the Pullet-Shut door. I have had mine for over 5 years and had no issues with it. It has been a quality, dependable door. The door and frame are made of aluminum so you don't have to worry about the door rusting or warping. I like mine so well that I recently purchased a second one for another coop.

I love my omlet door! And i know the safety sensor works because when the girls were little one fell asleep in the door. It is battery powered, so you don’t have to run electricity to the coop.

It is pricey though

I haven't installed it yet, but I just bought this WITHOUT the timer, because I just can't afford it. BUT I felt the reviews were great, the price was fair, and if you buy it without the timer, you can go back and add it later. Plus you can actually use one door opener to open two doors if you have two (and I do).

I just installed the standard version of the chicken guard on my coop, I got it as a bundle with the self locking door kit. Its not the cheapest but it works very well and was very easy to install and set up. I went for the standard one because I don't think I would use the automatic light sensor to open and close the door, I prefer letting them out later in the summers so they don't upset the neighbours at 6am.

I got the self locking too. And I'd also want to do the timer rather than the automatic light sensor. I just don't like not having control of that variable.

Even though it was expensive we got an Omlet, then we ended with with two more coops and two more doors. I found it worth the expense.

Agree!
