CoopSecure Plus Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener

The door and materials are very good. The computer not so much. I've twice had batteries die with no notification on the screen and lost chickens. But now I found by accident that the clock was resetting itself randomly and I've lost half my flock this week because it's suddenly saying it's 10 am when it's midnight and opening the door. I'm very, very frustrated. I've just locked it shut and taken out the batteries and I'm manually letting them out in the morning and shutting up the coop at night. Unfortunately, the area predators are now alerted to our flock so the battle is on during daytime too.

Wish there was an option to upload photos. I took lots of photos to show all the details I would have liked to know before purchasing. This is the only auto door I have ever purchased but I feel that the quality of the construction is very good and the way it operates and is programmed is very simple. Installation was relatively straightforward. Door height fully extended (open position) is approximately 28 inches. This was the main thing I wanted to know. Requested spec sheet online and never received. Recommended door opening (hole) is 12 inches high by 10 inches wide. Comes with hardware to install and the quality of the hardware is nice. I received an extra screw and spacer which I thought was nice. You never have them when you need them. Not sure how long 4AAs will last, so far I have gone 1 month. May come back and update review if I remember. Would buy another one if I needed it. Can’t say if it’s the most bang for your buck, but I think it’s a really nice door and I didn’t mind the price tag to ensure my flock is safe and secure.
