Features

  • RECLAIM YOUR MORNINGS & EVENINGS: Stop trudging out at 5AM in freezing rain or rushing home before dusk. Set the LCD timer once (programmable to the exact minute), and the door opens and closes automatically every day. Enjoy your coffee in bed while your flock is let out right on schedule
  • ANTI-PINCH SAFETY SENSOR PROTECTS YOUR HENS: No more worrying about a slow hen caught at closing time. The ultra-sensitive pressure sensor detects any bird in the doorway and auto-reverses within a lightning-fast 0.5 seconds. Every close cycle is continuously monitored, so even the stragglers stay safe
  • DEADBOLT-STYLE PREDATOR DEFENSE: Unlike flimsy string-pull doors that clever raccoons learn to lift, our solid anodized aluminum door (11 inches x 12 inches opening) is driven by an industrial screw-rod actuator that locks like a deadbolt. Designed to stand firm against raccoons, foxes, and opossums all night long
  • POWER-OUTAGE MEMORY, ZERO RE-PROGRAMMING: A built-in memory chip saves your timer settings and door position through blackouts. When power returns, the door automatically resumes its schedule-no resetting, no reprogramming, no surprises. A manual override button lets you open or close the door anytime with just one press
  • TRUE 60-MINUTE DIY INSTALLATION: Skip the electrician and the handyman bill. Our Plug & Play design includes pre-wired components, a mounting template, step-by-step photo instructions, and a QR-code video guide. Most owners finish in about an hour-works on wood, metal, and plastic coops
  • BUILT FOR REAL FARM WEATHER: A sealed weatherproof control box shields the electronics from rain, dust, and humidity. The anodized aluminum door and rust-proof actuator keep running smoothly through summer heat up to 140F and winter cold down to 13F-no warping, no jamming, season after season
  • REAL HUMANS, REAL SUPPORT: Technical support by email available. Real poultry-door experts reply within 24 hours for anything from installation to timer setup. We are here to help ensure your flock is secure

  • Quality Product
Size: Small
Purchased the JVR- HM40G automatic chicken coop door. Looks proffessional. Hubby installed it without any issues. I was able to program the timer without issues. operation of the door opening and closing is perfect, smooth ,quiet. Sent question to support and received a quick reply about the anti pinch sensor, it is actually built in and works great,no additional wires .I tested the door closing with a full 16oz water bottle laying on its side within the doorway and the door worked perfectly and retreated back up quickly and gently. Highly recommend your purchase. ... show more

  • Hardy, basic, does exactly what you need it to do when you need it.
Size: Small
K.I.S.S. Keep it simple just like JVR's coop door. It does exactly what you want, and I can't say I have a whole lot of gripes with it. If you want automation on the farm and can plug this into an outlet, this is it. The other chicken doors out there with wifi, bluetooth, cheap built in connections, rechargeable batteries that have to be changed out, solar, and a bunch of unnecessary junk will break down and waste your time and money every single time. Even the ones with "good" reviews. One winter and they're worth less than scrap. This door is the only one I've found that so far is completely bulletproof. It's sealed up and secure, easily survives negative degree midwestern winters, and is also a farmer's dream because it's easy to repair ANY connection on it and fix/replace ANYTHING if it does go wrong since all the wiring is exposed by just opening up the latch holding the seal. Warranty service/product support is, unbelievably, extremely responsive, as well. I lost power to the unit one time and they responded to me via email almost immediately; helping me find the reason which ended up not even being a problem with the unit at all. Sure as hell beats out 99% of the ag companies that don't even bother responding to you or taking a call. Only gripes with this door is that: 1) it doesn't have any option for rechargeable backup batteries, so all of the functional parts are entirely dependent on having constant power. The timer does, though, so it's really not even that bad. With how accessible the unit is, I think I'll be able to even wire an adapter into it, because it is literally just that easy to modify. 2) The biggest problem: the safety mechanism is annoying to set up and less desirable than a pressure related safety sensor. If the door wants to close; IT WILL. If it wants to open; IT WILL. If that sensor doesn't flag as blocked: It WILL CLOSE. No matter what's in its way. The motor and gears are STRONG. Don't get me wrong, this is a very good thing in my book, but can also become pretty dangerous on the off chance an animal gets caught underneath it and doesn't trip the sensor. But again it's not "too bad" of an issue if the sensor is properly set and you time the close function for well past sundown. I have not had any issues so far, fingers crossed. Overall, 5/5. It's the best door on the market for my purposes. You can't beat the reliability, heavy duty design, customer service, and fixability. To my knowledge, no other product like this exists that can even remotely compare. They earned my business if I ever need more. ... show more

  • Fantastic, flexible and reliable
Size: Small
This automatic chicken door opener is fantastic! It has given me peace of mind when I can’t get home or outside right away at night to close the existing hinged coop ‘pop’ door myself after it gets dark, and it’s super nice to know if I sleep in once in awhile, the chickens will be let out without me! The opener can have several open and close timers programmed, one for each day if you want, or just open and close at the same time every day. Programming it is not exactly intuitive with the button labels, but is very simple if you read the instructions. You can also turn off the automatic feature and just manually open and close it by pushing a button in the sturdy weatherproof control box case. There is an adjustable sensor that will stop the door if something is blocking it (like a garage door sensor). The sliding door opens/closes so slowly that I can’t imagine any chicken getting caught under it and killed, even if the sensor stopped working. It is NOT a dusk-to-dawn photocell timer, but rather one where you specify the times to open and close when you program it. Because we already had a pop door on the coop leading into the run before getting this, we had to retrofit the smaller auto door to be sure it sealed out predators and blocked the cold, so it took us more time to install. If you don’t have an existing door or if the opening is sized pretty close to what’s needed for this door, installation should not take you long at all. It also can be installed vertically or horizontally, which can help it fit if your space is limited. We have been using it for 2 months now, including through near freezing temperatures and snow, and there haven’t been any issues at all. ... show more

  • Works good, very convenient.
Size: Small
Works good, my first timer did not work consistently but good customer service, they sent me a new timer and now I have no problems. Easy to install, easy to set timer, I found that you may need to hit reset and start fresh as neither timer worked correctly to start with, I actually had to hit reset twice on my new timer and do a trial run by setting timer to open (on) on minute 1 and close (off) on minute 2, that did not work the first time so I hit reset again then it worked fine, I do not know how some people had a tough time setting timer it is very easy and instructions are pretty clear. The only issue is the door is a little flimsy because of being 2 pieces but it is plenty strong also the cutt out for door should be a least an inch smaller in height than the instructions tell you, I made it about 3/4” less and still have a small gap at top when door is closed and small overlap on bottom, will probably put some type weather stripping before winter to close gaps. Overall it is a great convenience having the door open and close automatically, it opens slowly and my birds fight to be the first out squeezing through a small opening, I like that it closes slowly so birds don’t get caught under. ... show more
