Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener Solar Powered Timer Light Sensor Remote Control Motor Kit Weatherproof Predator Protection | Koossa
Never Wake Early to Let Your Chickens Out Again
This automatic chicken coop door opens at sunrise and closes at dusk using a built-in light sensor, or you can set specific times with the programmable timer. The solar-powered motor runs silently and charges during the day, with a mains adapter backup for cloudy weeks. The anti-crush safety sensor stops the door if it detects an obstruction, preventing injury to birds who linger in the doorway. The weatherproof aluminium frame withstands rain, frost, and UV exposure, and the remote control lets you override the system manually when needed. Your chickens are locked safely inside at night away from foxes and badgers, and you don't need to be home at specific times to manage the coop.
Why This Automatic Door Works
- Dual power system: Solar panel charges the battery during daylight, with mains adapter included for winter months when daylight hours are short — no risk of the battery dying overnight
- Light sensor and programmable timer: Choose automatic operation based on natural light levels, or set precise opening/closing times to match your routine — switch between modes via the control unit
- Anti-crush safety mechanism: Infrared sensor detects chickens in the doorway and stops the door closing until the path is clear — prevents trapped birds and broken eggs
- Weatherproof construction: Aluminium frame and ABS plastic housing resist rust, corrosion, and temperature extremes from -20°C to +50°C — operates year-round without maintenance
- Remote control override: Manual open/close buttons let you operate the door from outside the coop — useful when cleaning, collecting eggs, or introducing new birds
- Silent motor operation: Quiet mechanism won't startle nervous birds or disturb neighbours in residential areas
Made for Poultry Keepers and Smallholders
Whether you've got laying hens, bantams, ducks, or quail, this door works on wooden coops, metal sheds, and custom-built housing. The 28 × 37 cm opening suits standard-sized chickens and smaller poultry — check your largest bird can pass through comfortably before installation. Use it when you're away for weekends, working irregular hours, or simply want to avoid early morning coop duties in winter. The light sensor is particularly useful for seasonal adjustments — the door automatically adapts to changing sunrise/sunset times without reprogramming. The timer function suits keepers who prefer fixed schedules or want to delay morning release until after the school run. The solar charging means no running cables to remote coops or outbuildings. A favourite with smallholders who've tried manual pop-hole doors with rope-and-pulley systems or basic timers that failed in wet weather.
