Can we talk about Coop doors??

I got the motor from Amazon and the timer at Lowe's, look on YouTube to see some videos about it it was around $80 some of the other doors are upwards of $300 I'm very happy with this, I have never had to go out and open the door or close it since day one.

never mind...... I already know this. LOL Got off on the wrong post. sorry What brand motor did you get on Amazon?

It's called the "D 20 add a motor"

i bought my auto coop door from foys pigeon supply online. A lil pricey but install was super easy. It takes 4 aa batteries i put in the energizer lithium ones and they ran it for a little over a year and half.

I will check them out as well. My hubby will be the one to hook up so I will do the research and then let him decide. LOL He rules this roost.

Wow that seems like a really great deal compared to the automatic doors I've seen online... was it easy to install or make??

Very easy to install 2 screws and a string, check YouTube. My thought was if it breaks I can buy 3 for the price of the expensive doors.

Amazon does sell cheaper items.

Keeps us updated with pics/video if possible. I'm trying to talk my hubby into one of these but it will need to be a handmade one to cut costs.
