   I'm planning on installing this auto coop door http://www.discounthomeautomation.com/Add-A-Motor-Chicken-Coop-Motor-AAD20 and am looking for recommendations on a self-locking feature to ensure raccoons can't slide the door open. Any/all ideas welcome.
   
   Thanks.

   This set-up works well for me. Same motor. The key is to attach the weight off center, to the side you want it to fall.
