Automatic-Chicken-Coop-Door-Solar-Powered Auto Chicken Door with Remote Light Sensor Mode Anti-Pinch Function (DarkRBC-001)

This is a great door or will be after I figure out how to program the thing. The door itself is great. The metal door rolls up in front of the FRONT of the frame rather than in the back so it is much easier to install. We had to reframe the door opening to the right size but that was accomplished easily with one $5 board. 6 screws and it was in. The problem is getting it programed to open and close at the specified time. The directions are poorly written and just about impossible to follow. But I am determined to figure it out because I like the door so much. The last door I ordered was real easy to install and program but the door would only open one or two inches and close just the same. So I had to go out twice a day anyway so it was a waste of money. I think this door is a much better value, once I get the timer figured out.UPDATE: This door has been in for a few weeks now, thru beautiful spring days and the odd horrible wind and snow storms. I programmed it to open and close with the light and am running it off electricity. After my horrible experience with the last door, I keep a close eye on this door. It has never failed since day one. It is flawless. If we ever get nicer weather I will paint the new opening we made to adjust for the increased opening size. Other than that….PERFECT.

when I first started using it I didn't think that I would like where the control is on the solar panel but found a good place to mount it and works great I would recommend it perfect size for the chickens and the way to operate it is real easy to learn functions flawlessly I think it'll last a long time I've seen a lot of the other ones have broke but not this design

I love that this color powered and is controlled by remote, so if I’m in a hurry I can just open it by remote and not have to go to the coop to open it. It was very easy to install. The door opens and closes smoothly. One of the best parts is the price, I have purchased some from a major retailer that did not stand up the way this one has. If you have chickens this is a must have.

Works great! Opens and closes when it should and was easy to install and setup!

Door is junk right out of the package. Will not work. Everyone save yourself the time and money and order a different door.

Only had the door for a week but so far so good! I searched for many days and read alot of reviews and decided on this one. Price was ok and we needed a door that rolled up not slid up. I was very skeptical because people did have problems with many of the automatic chicken doors out there.We had to make some modifications for it to fit in our little chicken coop and So far it’s been working great! I programed it to open at 8 o’clock in the morning and I shut it manually at night but if I have forgotten it does shut when it gets dark. It is nice to have one less thing or worry about doing at chore time in the mornings. I was worried that the solar panel wouldn’t work so well with the buttons for opening and closing where on the back but it’s not a problem. Instructions were a little confusing but watching the video about the chicken door really helped. Hopefully it holds up in the cold weather and snow here in Iowa!

Easy to install but difficult to be certain if it is programmed correctly. Customer service only has an email and never replied to me and it’s been 4 days. Got what I paid for I guess.

So far I like this door. it is a much better quality than the type with the steel door that rides on a small gear. Simple to install. Would have given 5 stars but the directions for setting up the modes are awful.
