How do I get my hens to go in their coop at night? They sleep out side in the run

Has it always been like that or is this a recent development? If they are new to the coop and won't go in, what I have done is simply lock them in the coop with their food and water for 2 or 3 days so they recognize where they are supposed to stay. If they have used the coop but now won't go in I wonder if they were scared by something in there and now reluctant to go in.
New development. I just finished their run and turned them out three or four days ago. Now they won't go in at night. They'd rather sleep in a pile outside.
Is the run secure from predators?
What part of the world are you in...is it hot where you are?
Maybe they are more comfy in the run..?
