Chickens may provide you with a delicious breakfast of eggs, but they may become breakfast themselves without proper protection from predators. Our DIY Automatic Chicken Coop Door Kits will ensure that your favorite hen is safe through the night from predators like coyotes and raccoons.
The DIY chicken coop door kit has a built-in timer to open and close the doors at your convenience. Plus, you can add a solar option if you coop gets plenty of sunshine.
Linear Up and DOwn Coop Door Opener
Slides up and down: Our automatic coop doors slide linearly up and down so your hens have easy access in and out of the coop. You pair it with your own door.
Protect Your Birds from Harm
This DIY Coop Door Kit will protect your birds from predators and the door features a built-in feature that ensures that your birds will not be harmed when the door closes
Versatile in Size and Power Options
The door can be powered with electricity or a 12-volt battery (not included). Plus, the different lengths of the strokes on the DIY kit actuator offer flexibility for the size of the coop door.
Coop Door Kit Options
Add a solar kit that includes a solar panel and battery solar box so your DIY automatic coop door kit can be powered by the sun. The coop must be in a sunny location to be powered by the sun. Other options for our chicken coop door actuators are listed below.
Yes, it does! Here is a video showing how the timer is set on our automatic door kits.
How is the DIY Coop Door Kit Powered?
The standard power option is electric. Included in the kit is an electric power cord. You can also upgrade to solar or battery power. Please be advised that using a battery will require a charging source. We recommend that if you are using the battery option, you have several batteries to ensure you always have a charged battery.
Can I use this Automatic diy kit on a duck or turkey coop?
Yes! Our automatic coop door DIY kits work well with duck coops as well as turkey coops. For these larger birds, we suggest the 16" actuator.
Do the DIY kits work with larger animals like sheep or goats?
Yes! Our costumers have used the DIY kits with both. We suggest assembling the coop door opener kit horizontally instead of vertically to give your animals more space, and be sure the doorway will be high enough for your animals to fit comfortably through. The 16" actuator would be the best choice for larger animals as well.
Can i Assemble the Coop door KIT horizontally?
Yes, though most times the door is assembled to open vertically, it is very possible to assemble it horizontally so it opens side to side instead of up and down. This is a good idea for larger animals like sheep.
Can I add Solar Power to this DIY Coop Door Kit?
Yes! Our solar attachment will power your coop. However, you must be sure your chicken coop is the sun for most of the day and also always be aware of the battery levels to ensure your birds stay safe.
How does the DIY Coop Opener attach to the door?
The actuator attaches to your DIY Coop Door with a single screw. You will also need to attach the door opener at the top in your coop. Be sure there is enough overhead space for your door opener to attach to. Note the measurements on each unit and be sure you have the overhead space you need to install the unit.
What size Coop Door Opener do I need?
There are two things to consider when choosing an actuator size.
We offer our coop door actuator in three sizes: 10-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch door
The size door, and hence, the door actuator will vary depending on the size of your chickens.
Here are a few examples of chicken breeds and the size coop door opener you will need for your chicken coop.
