Predator proof automatic door opener

Any recommendations for the best inexpensive predator proof automatic door opener? I already have the manual door. Thx

Not very many of the openers are inexpensive. Unless you want to make your own, I can give you the link to threads that show how, If you are handy, and desire that option.
I have an Ador1 and it costs $219 delivered in the US. I like it and it has served me Very Well for 3 years now. Ask and I can post pix of my door. It is quite predator proof, since it is gear driven, and raccoons are not able to open by lifting. Some of the other pop doors made, rely on gravity to keep door down. Some of those do have a locking mechanism but not all.
I personally do not favor pop doors that operate like a house door. Those are prone to too many problems, getting stuck, and not completely closing due to chickens scratching debris into the frame area. Raccoons can easily pry those open if they can get a hold of edge.
