Customer Reviews for VEVOR Automatic Coop Door, 11.8 x 11.8 12V 66W, with Timer and Light Sensor, Electric Poultry House Opening Kit w/Infrared Induction to Avoid Chicken, Duck, Goose from Crushed, Silver

Chicken doors works great! The controller kept losing time if power went off, so it was not dependable. but I easily set it up on a 12v battery with maintainer to solve that issue. The entry sensor was useless/false trips, so it had to be removed. But good overall

The directions were pretty vague but I was able to piece the info together for programing. The door closes very very slowly (no animal decapitation like the other review mentions). The laser sensor works very well. We did install ours "inside out" because we have a overhang roof just outside the door but plan to move the gray electrical box to the outside so the light senors could work. The remotes do take a weird type battery. The door did come with a little bit of rust and bolts/ rivets were missing but we had some on hand so it wasn't a huge deal. But overall I like how many features this one had compared to others and will be keeping it.

Was an easy set up. Quality parts, glad I purchased this for the girls safety.

I wanted to automate the door into the run and this unit seemed appropriate. I didn't use the door (already had a string system for the coop door) and hooked up the linear actuator and controller to open and close the door on a timer. So far it works pretty well. It is set up kind of like a screen door actuator.My only complaint is that the controller should have a battery backup in case of power outage. I leave for the weekend sometimes and always worry about whether the chickens are going to get locked out or in the run and coop if the power goes out. That is my only complaint.

Installed in ten minutes works well no problems. My birds love it!

May 2022 Update: After using this door for almost a year now, we still love it! The only issue we've had is in the winter when it would rain and then get really cold soon thereafter, the door to be a bit frozen and could not open. I like that the door would try to open, then stop. It reassures me that it won't break so easily! Our idea going forward for this winter is to create a bit more of an overhang to keep more moisture away from the door. All we had to do was just open our coop's side door to let the crew out. Regardless, we love this door and it makes life so much easier for us!

So far so good, when we first got it my husband played with it so much that he must have set new timers LOL. It was easy to reset, we just removed batteries and it goes back to factory settings. I have had it for 3 weeks now and I still check to make sure it opens and closes for the hens. There was one morning half of my flock made it out and it shut. I found my chickens trapped in coop and over heating. Not sure what happened? Maybe cloud cover triggered sensor to close at dawn again

We received this product and installed it. Installation was easy. As we were coop training our girls we didn't want the door to open and close like normal. We wanted it to stay closed for a few days so they would start to think of the coop as home. We took the motor off to remove the batteries to disable it. The motor fell out of the housing and when we tried to reinstall the button broke off. We were pretty upset bc this isn't a cheap door. I reached out to the sellers about a replacement. Here is where they impressed me. I got a response back quickly to my complaint. The requested I send pictures which I did the same day. They again responded quickly to the pictures and said they would be sending a replacement motor within two day. Two days later it came in the mail. I reinstalled it and it works great. My girls quickly realized the coop was home and so we were able to let the door work as normal. They have been going into their coop every night before it closes. I would highly recommend this product and this company. They were quick to handle my issue and take care of me as a customer.

Ok seriously this is the best product I have purchased in a very long time. I have no affiliation with the company. I paid for my unit myself after being frustrated with other manufacturers. And I absolutely love this thing. It

So I ordered this automatic door because I was tired of having to remember to close the door on my chicken coop. The first door that was sent to me worked great for the first 2 weeks, then started having problems. I contacted the customer service and heard back from them right away. I was super impressed. They are not kidding when they say help 24/7. I sent them a video of the problem and they shipped a new part to me in the US from Europe right away. I installed that part and it has been working perfectly every since. I really like having this automatic door. I live in Oregon and my only concern is that it holds up in the rain and keeps working. I have had this for a little over a month and will update if something stops working.
