I looked at this one a while back. I didn't go for it because

1. It opens out. I wanted a vertical slider
2. I already had a piece of sheet metal and the track. I didn't need the whole assembly.
2. The motor is exposed outside the coop. Didn't like that idea.
4. Cost. I didn't want to spend that much

We went with the addamotor motor (http://www.discounthomeautomation.com/Add-A-Motor-Chicken-Coop-Motor-AAD20 ) and used my existing materials. Bought a $10 timer at Lowes. Installation was really easy! Works great. Highly recommended.

We have this one and have using it about 6-7 weeks now, with no problems. We have no electricity in our coop so we needed something like this. You'll need to buy a separate 12 volt battery and solar panel to operate it, though. My only wish is that it came with a timer, since you have to reset it every time you want to change what time it opens and closes.
