Automatic Aluminum Chicken Coop Door with Timer

Automatic aluminum coop door with timer and safety stop for reliable flock protection

This automatic chicken coop door is designed for poultry keepers who want consistent, hands-off control of their coop access. Constructed from painted aluminum alloy, the door panel and frame provide a rigid, corrosion-resistant barrier that helps protect your birds from common predators. The integrated electronic controller lets you set precise opening and closing times so your flock can leave the coop in the morning and return safely at night without daily manual operation.

The built-in 24-hour timer is programmed directly on the unit using simple buttons and a clear LCD display. You can set separate opening and closing times based on your local schedule, and the display makes it easy to confirm and adjust settings when needed. Power is supplied by a 3x AA battery compartment (batteries not included), designed for low power consumption and extended standby time, reducing how often batteries need to be replaced. Installation is straightforward and typically takes around 10 minutes, with no complex wiring required.

The door incorporates an anti-pinch protection design to support flock safety. When the integrated sensor detects a chicken beneath the door while it is closing, the motor stops to avoid trapping or injuring the bird. Once the path is clear, the door continues its closing cycle. The assembly is built to an IPX3 water-resistance level, helping shield the electronics from normal rainfall and outdoor moisture when installed on a suitable coop wall. Combined with its sturdy construction and controlled movement, this door provides a practical, consistent way to manage daily coop access.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Automates daily opening and closing so you don't need to be at the coop at set times
• Aluminum alloy construction adds strength and helps deter common predators
• Anti-pinch sensor reduces risk of injury to chickens during door operation
