Thank you so much for your help. I'll keep you updated. We might order it tonight.It takes one, six volt lantern battery. Get one at Walmart for a couple of bucks.
I hadn't even heard of this one until now. Cool!I highly recommend the Pullet Shut automatic coop door. I have had mine for 6 years and it has opened and closed without fail the entire time I have used it. I live in Michigan and the coldest days of winter have never been an issue. I do however, have a roof over mine so it never gets rain or snow on it.
Customer service is excellent and they have a solar power option if you do not have electricity at your coop. It is a well made and easy to program door that should last you for years.
x2 on Pullet-Shut. Well built and easy to program.
You can program it to open earlier or later, but not to a specific time. It's been a long time since I programmed mine, though. It's a very simple machine, and programming takes a bit of practice. But you'll get the hang of it.To those that have the Ador1…

Is there a way to program the door to open/close at a certain time instead of going by sun light? The area where the door opens to the coop is pretty dark because we have a roof over that area… I’m worried it’ll close too early and chickens will get locked out. Obviously I’ll test it out the first few nights, but I won’t be able to use it if the only option is to go by sunrise and sunset.
I ordered it about a week ago.

Shipping was pretty quick.

I have not yet had time to unbox it to look at it so it’s been sitting in the garage. Hopefully on Saturday we can complete the installation.
A big problem we had with predators is that they get into the coop before we have a chance to close it… for example we are at church 3 nights a week while the chickens are going in. That gives a chance for predators to get in while we’re not home… This was one thing that pushed me to order the Ador1… about a year later![]()
