Product Information
Full details
The ChickenGuard Door Opener PRO is designed for poultry keepers who prioritize convenience and security, offering an automated solution for managing coop access without manual intervention. By integrating directly with your existing coop door or a compatible self-locking mechanism, it ensures your flock remains protected from nocturnal predators while allowing them to graze during the day. While it offers robust automation, users should note that the device requires a sturdy, non-binding door setup to ensure smooth operation during the lifting and lowering process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the PRO, ensure your coop door is mounted on smooth vertical tracks that allow for effortless vertical movement. Use a level to ensure the unit is mounted straight, which prevents the internal pulley system from experiencing uneven wear. Compatibility is broad; the system works well with any door that hangs vertically and can be lifted by a cord. For care, keep the unit clear of debris and occasionally wipe the digital display with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the lifting cord is free of knots and check it annually for signs of fraying to maintain safe, long-term operation.
