Description

The ChickSafe Advance automatic chicken coop door opener is a tough and reliable system for automatically opening your coop door in the morning and closing it in the evening as light levels fall, keeping your birds save and giving you peace of mind. Running on only 4 x AA batteries (included), the ChickSafe Advance hen house door opener is easy to fit to any chicken coop with a vertical sliding (or hinged) door. The all-in-one design makes setting up a breeze - no messy wiring or limit switches to attach to your coop. Simply secure the control box to the front of your coop with the 2 screws provided, tie the lifting cord to your existing door and you’re away. No manual calibration is necessary; the ChickSafe Advance automatically adjusts to the height of your poultry house door. The ChickSafe Advance features a novel mechanism with only one moving part and no mechanical switches for ultimate reliability. Weatherproof and made from UV resistant materials it is designed to work in extreme conditions and can lower and raise a door weighing up to 8 Lbs. It features an 'auto-stop' if a chicken is obstructing the door so you can relax in the knowledge that your hens will be safely looked after. Because the ChickSafe work by detecting light levels and look for slow changes in light they aren't affected by car headlights at night. For your convenience the sensitivity of the falling light level is adjustable and an indicator shows that the door is open, closed if the batteries are low or if there's a fault. The ChickSafe Advance has a fully digital menu driven controls with a programmable real-time clock timer and full manual door control allowing the user to open or close the door at a set time and to override the automatic system. By a simple press of a button the user can at any time either open or close the door or hold it in its current position until the override is switched off - handy if trying to isolate birds in the hen house. The ChickSafe Advance also comes with a unique weekend 'lie-in' feature which allows the user to delay the opening of the door in the morning on 2 days out of 7 to a selected time which can be used to keep the birds contained for longer at weekends. Like all Brinsea products it comes with a 3-year .

  • Love it!
Style: Light Sensor & Timer Pattern Name: Door Opener Only
Finally after several weeks waiting for this order to arrive, I am very pleased. It works great and was easy to install and I am letting friends know about this product. I am so happy..... It has been months now and the batteries are still good. I do not use the open and close at sunrise and sunset and not sure if that makes a difference. Great product. ... show more

  • Install and forget!
Style: Light Sensor & Timer Pattern Name: Door Opener Only
RELIABLE. That’s the best description. Have not had to mess with it once since installation and it’s doing exactly what we need it to do. Very reliable! Piece of mind knowing it’s keeping our birds safe!

  • Premature product failure and no customer service
Style: Light Sensor & Timer Pattern Name: Door Opener Only
I purchased the unit less than a year ago. While I struggled through poor set up instructions I did get it up and running. The visual menu screen is difficult to read. Now I am getting only a partial menu. I can no longer access the set time or calibrate door options. It also will not let me manually raise or lower the door. The unit is touted as having a 3 year warranty. I have sent several emails explaining the problem. Guess what, no response. This unit was purchased through Amazon. I am hoping once Amazon reviews the poor company/product response they can step in and help or drop Brinsea products to keep others from walking into the same problem. ... show more

  • Works. Irritating UI
Style: Light Sensor & Timer Pattern Name: Door Opener Only
3 visible buttons. The 4th is somewhere near the word"SAFE". The instructions are barely helpful, but not really. This opener replaced a 5-7yr old ChickenGuard Premium. I'll get another ChickenGuard after this BrinSea dies. Until then, it seems to work fine.

  • When you've been cooped up and can't wait for the door to open, lol.
Style: Light Sensor & Timer Pattern Name: Door Opener Only
I liked the fact that this unit was rated for 8lbs., some I saw was only rated for 2.2lbs. I constructed the door from light weight plastic paneling but strengthened it with angle iron top and bottom to prevent predators from forcing their way in. Pricier than most but feel that I received a well built unit that will last. I would buy again. ... show more

  • Easy change batteries.
Style: Light Sensor & Timer Pattern Name: Door Opener Only
Still looking for the perfect opener. I need to work on my coup more. The brains of this went haywire after a couple of years of bad winters and although it was supposed to lift a lot, it didn't seen much stronger than my first opener. Easy to change the batteries, no tools required.
