Has anyone used the new self locking door from chickenguard? I received mine in the mail today & was surprised to see so much plastic. At first I even thought the door was plastic but upon further inspection it might be painted aluminum. I'm trying to get something in place before we go on a vacation so now I'm feeling anxious about whether to give it a try or return it & try to get something else in time. :-/
My coop is in a fenced pasture with goats & a livestock guardian dog. My most likely break-in predator would be a raccoon. I will be mounting the door on the inside of my coop to avoid the goats messing with it...and the larger plastic area is on the back.
I've sent an email with to Chicken Guardian, whom I purchased through asking whether the product has been through any strength testing but thought I'd post here to see if anyone has had experience with this particular door...plus I just needed a place to share my stress. I read so many reviews before making a purchase & now I'm feeling nervous about whether I made the right decision.
