Easy to install but initially would only open half way. After unplugging and plugging in the power supply it seems to have sorted itself out. Remote control doesn’t work very well. I’ll put in a new battery and see if that helps

It is great and working perfectly so far
Works perfectly, easy to install and quiet. Makes life with chickens so much easier!
The automatic door has made huge difference to my sleep. The chickens can get out themselves and I don’t need to get il to let them out.
New coop- reinforced and auto-door installed. Hopefully fully fox-resistant now! Just wanting to get the new fl8ck used to getting in before the sun goes down and they dont get locked out in the wet and cold like last night!. The door itself is solid and self explanatory-though the cut out template/guide is nowhere near accurate. Aside from that, installation and function is a breeze. Very happy with it.
Great product do not have to worry about locking or letting chooks out
Can't work out how to make it work with sunrise and sunset. Chooks took 2 days to get used to a new entry and exit . Dumb critters
Amazing door. Loving it so far and works perfectly
Works well and easily programmed
Near perfect replacement. Easy to install and use. Very quiet operation. My posty is now going to buy one.
I have only just installed the chook gate and I am very happy with it so far.
The door works great, saves me a lot of time and my back. Less need to be inside with the chickens.
Great item value for money and pro.pt delivery Highly recommend
It is nice not having to get out of bed to open the chook hutch. It works well. Thank you
Delivery was smooth and we and the chooks are very happy with the new door. We have it on the timer because we found that the security lighting which can get activated if a possum or a fox walks by during the night also opens the door if it is on the solar setting. Not ideal!
Really easy to set up and program. I love it.
Works great! Good bit of chinery
Easy to install and works perfectly
Easy to install and the chooks like it works well for us
Opens and closes, easy to use and install
Seems to be working well on automatic daylight settings.😄
Light sensor doesn’t work 100% here due to the twilight periods we get in spring and summer. But it can be overcome with the time setting so it is still a fabulous invention😁
Great product
Installed it a week ago and it has worked great since. Chooks are out before we get up and safely roosting at night
It’s a rippa had a few this one is the best yet.
I have had one for about a month and hasn’t missed a beat so far. Great piece of equipment.
Easy to install in minutes, works great, chickens are now put to bed safe every night (as I did forget sometimes haha)
Great product, it has taken the stress away from getting home before dark. Very fast and easy to install.
Easy to install. Set it at the default morning/night open/close. Works perfectly!
This works a treat. Open at daylight & chooks love it.
Nice product. Quick delivery. Happy
Great idea this works perfectly for my 2 chooks that feel like queens
Love it , highly recommend.
Up at dawn down at dusk chickens already roosting works well🙂
Work's a treat, chickens love it.!!!!!!
Good
Very easy way to order and receive the goods.
We love this solar chicken door! It gives us peace of mind knowing the chickens are let out and locked up at the same time every day, especially when we’re running late or having a sleep-in. The only downside is the cord to the solar panel isn’t long enough to reach the roof, so we don’t get the full benefit of solar charging and have to charge the battery weekly. Other than that, it’s been fantastic and makes life so much easier!
Took awhile to arrive but worth the wait. Installation was a piece of cake
I was worried it wouldn’t work, but it’s a game changer for my little ladies and gent , as they love getting out early !! Hopefully it keeps on going on , very impressive.
