Automate Your Coop Management in 3 Simple Steps

Choose Your Power

Ditch the freezing AA batteries. Power your door with our long-lasting battery, a trickle charger, or a solar panel for off-grid coops.

Set Your Schedule

Program your opening and closing times, or use the photo sensor to automatically open at daylight and close at dark.

Rest Easy

Our heavy-duty swinging mechanism (not a cheap vertical slider) locks tight to keep predators out and keeps your flock safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a Left or Right swing door?

"Left" and "Right" refer to the side the hinges are on when you are standing outside the coop looking at the door. If you want the door to swing open to your left, choose a Left Swing door. If you need it to swing open to your right, choose a Right Swing.
