Product Description

ChickenGuard Premium:

  • Are you tired of rushing to the coop at the crack of dawn to let your hens out?
  • Are you sick of getting soaking wet on winter nights to lock your chickens in their coop?
  • Have you had enough with poorly crafted coop door openers that give you a headache in the installation?

ChickenGuard has released an advanced technology chicken door opener for your peace of mind and your poultry safety! The timer & easy controls blend to give you a reliable, durable and highly convenient automatic chicken door opener. Using integrated LCD Screen this door opener is expertly constructed to be easy to use, highly reliable and dependable in keeping your poultry flock safe from dusk until dawn including a built-in light sensor.

ChickenGuard Classic Door Kit:

The Classic Door Kit is designed to significantly reduce the snagging that can occur when trying to open a coop door.

We use a beautiful white oak to create the runners, handcrafted by bespoke cabinet maker Anthony O’Shea. White oak was chosen by Anthony and his team due to its superior strength & quality when facing the elements. Without treatment, the runners will last between 8 & 10 years.

The aluminum door is cut by a specialised laser company that we have worked with for many years. The laser helps to reduce the rough edges that conventional cutting can produce. This is incredibly important when using an automated coop door opener as this will reduce the chances of the door snagging on the runners and ensures frictionless movement of the door.

Specifications:

Aluminum Door: Size: 30cm x 40cm / 12inch x 16inch (with a pre-drilled hole for attaching the string)

Oak Runners: Length: 60cm / 24inch

Our Classic Door Kit

We have specifically designed the Door and Runner Kit to maximise smooth and safe operation for our Door Opening units, and to ensure the protection of your chickens isn’t compromised.

The runners are handcrafted from durable white oak chosen for it’s superior strength & durability in inclement elements.

The runners will last between 8 & 10 years without treatment, but for added longevity and aesthetics, applying a clear wood lacquer will bring out the detail of the beautiful white oak.

The pre-drilled runners are supplied with 6 stainless steel screws, as they won’t rust. Neither will brass screws, if you prefer those visually.

The aluminum door has a pre-drilled hole for attaching the ChickenGuard cord, and is designed to ensure smooth operation within the runners to prevent the door sticking.

The product doesn't look like the photos. It is NOT a wood frame and is plastic. And the door has plastic around it and is not just a piece of metal like in all the photos. I think it looks better than what I was expecting, but it's really not what was advertised as far as looks go.It took a few hours to get assembled just right. Sometimes the door gets stuck coming down on the seam of the side rails (each rail is two pieces put together instead of one long piece which would have made it smooth).It was pretty easy to program and so far it's working well. The chickens were a little freaked out by the motor but they still came out the door after it opened. This should make things easier for me.I'm happy so far and am fine with the materials, but I would have liked to know I was getting plastic and not wood ahead of time as advertised.
