As it shifts to a lighter weight the door closes.

It can be connected to a battery by cutting the ac adapter off the end of the power cord and tying the power cord directly to the dc timer and the battery. No need to rush home from a late dinner. Always select a motorized lift and close for a well controlled open and close of the coop door. The motorized lift and close should have an electric eye or positive stop to prevent against harm or injury to your hens.

Though light it is strong and can serve as an ideal replacement for your chicken coop as it comes with horizontal sliding doors and can also support heavy doors. No need to buy more chickens because you forgot to lock the coop. Installation is very simple in minutes and can fit nearly all the standard coops. The idea is to use the combined weight of the chickens as they climb onto the roosting bar to sleep at night to pull the cables and pulleys and pop the door open.

However it has to be attached to an existing door that is not heavier than 8lbs and installed at least 1 inch from the top of the coop door. When the door is closed it sits behind the board on the bottom to thwart raccoons and other small predators. This door will automatically open each morning and close each evening. You can also make a diy automatic chicken coop door and instead of using electricity or batteries use the chickens themselves.

The door slides along a channel made by screwing a 1x4 on each side of the door then attaching another piece of 1x4 that s offset one inch from the first piece. Even though this automatic chicken coop door opener does not come with a door it is mains power enabled and comes with all the fittings for an exiting door. No need to hire a pet sitter the next time you go on a vacation.
