Run-Chicken Door T50 – Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener, Battery Powered & Weatherproof Aluminum, Smart App & Timer Control, Predator Proof, Easy Install, Reliable All-Season Performance (Red)

Going on two years, still going strong! No issues with performance battery life exceeds one year but I still change it out at the twelve month schedule. Only time I had door issues was during ice storms or heavy snow where ice built up in the track, an easy fix with a putty knife since the unit is well constructed. Looking forward to trying out one of the feeders.

As I sat outside early in the morning drinking my coffee , my rooster started to crow, I looked down the hill at my coop the door was scheduled to go up in 2 minutes. At 6am on the dot up it went and out walked my flock. I love my Run chicken door, when I looked up when I bought it it was April of 2024. Over two years ago. There is a newer model now but this door has worked flawlessly for over two years keeping my flock safe and sound. I have never once had any issues with the door, I use the timer function as opposed to automatic or open and close with sun. I wouldn’t have expected it to work without even one issue for this long. I highly recommend this brand the workmanship and durability is second to none.

Original review*******The performance of this door is rock solid. Very easy to install, and makes one less chicken chore for you to have in your busy day. The door won't hurt your chickens and unlike cheaper knock off clone doors, this is made of aluminum. Haven't tried the app yet but it's so easy, to setup and install the app will only make it an even better product. Very well engineered and packaged.I will be buying a second for my bigger secondary coop and run.You definitely get what you pay for! In this case, quality.*******Feb 19 update***After several months, and use of heating lamps (safe rated and properly secured) the door has some issues, it is in fact reactive to flashlights, artificial motion lights, and absolutely will not program. I reached out to the customer service team and got a prompt email back basically stating things found in the manual and that GPS AND time program thru the App would disable the light sensor. One morning I found my chickens in the fenced pasture with a fox 🦊 nearby setting off my outer perimeter motion sensors from Wuloo I got here on Amazon. Fortunately only one was missing and ended up having to block up the door because it will randomly open if a chicken moves and allows the light sensor to become exposed to light. Now, the door,sensor mind you is on the outside, why even with it framed it is so sensitive idk, I’ve tried creating a awning behind it and relocating the door to the bottom of the coop. I’ve tried my Galaxy Fold 3, IPhone 13 and iPad, will not accept programming from the app even on brightness on 100 on any screen.A manual door at this point and a waste of time and money. Fortunately no one (chicken) has died yet and I eventually will purchase infrared heaters to hopefully mitigate this problem. I had high hopes.

When I first started my chicken journey a couple months ago, I bought a solar chicken coop door.It was really hard to make a decision because every single door that I have seen reviews on has very very positive reviews and very very negative reviews. I opted to go for a cheap version and I have to tell you it never worked more than twice in a row. I was constantly begging anyone close to my house to run and open the door. Egg production suffered.I go to work at 3:30 in the morning and do not get home until after 4 PM. On my workdays I need a reliable door.I finally admitted defeat on my first purchase and went with run chicken. This door is extremely reliable. Installation was super easy because I already had the whole cut out for my previous door which was a pretty standard size. Programming was super simple and I’ve changed it quite a few times in the past week to really fit what works for me and my coop.The only downside is I wish it had an app to controll the door, not just program it. That strictly comes from my fear of the first door being unreliable. I would like a way to manually close the door remotely, but so far so good I haven’t needed that function at all!Definitely worth the money especially if you’re like me and you’re not able to be there to open up the coop door and close it. I would recommend to any friend or family member and unlike the highly rated items here, I was not given a promotion to write a positive review. This is truly a well made door

I waited 6 months to write a review of this Run-Chicken door. I can honestly say that this door has been an absolute life changer! We spend our summer weekends away from home and I no longer have to bother family members or neighbors to lock up our chickens at night.In Ohio we get our fair share of rain and snow. For that reason, I installed the door on the INSIDE of the coop to keep it out of the elements and {hopefully} prolong the life of the door. My coop has windows which I keep open in good weather, so even with the door mounted on the inside, it still senses the sunrise and sunset and goes up and down accordingly. (The door is factory programmed to go up at sunrise and down at sunset). This works PERFECT for mid-April through September where we live. However, once the weather turns cooler, and the coop windows are closed for the winter, the sensor understandably gets confused and will open/shut at odd times. But have no fear - there is a workaround for this!Knowing this sensor can also be programmed to go up and down at specific times, I read thru the instructions included with the door. The timer on this door is not like a “normal” timer - meaning you can’t numerically set the hour or minute that you want the coop to close (ie 8:00 pm). I tried following the instructions but they weren’t helpful to me. So I’m here to provide a few programming tips…Remember these tips are for those who need to program times other than the “dawn to dusk” factory settings.I will start by saying that it might take a few days to MANUALLY adjust the time and get it set to the right times. With that being said, IMO you should plan to be home, close to the coop for a few days until you get the programming kinks worked out. Don’t just assume you can install the door and leave for vacation the next day and everything will be fine. Eventually it will be, but probably not the first time you program it.So, here’s what you do….at the time you want the door to OPEN you must be near the coop. Press and hold the button on the bottom of the timer and wait for it to turn solid GREEN. When it turns green, let go and hit the button one more time. It makes a musical sound if programmed correctly (not just a beep). For the manual CLOSE once again - you must be near the coop. Press and hold the button until the RED light appears. When it turns solid RED, let go and hit the button one more time. It should make another musical sound if programmed correctly. **Remove the batteries from the timer if you wish to reset the programming. I did this numerous times until I was confident in my programming ability 😂Another piece of advice…the best thing I did to figure out the programming was to put batteries in the black timer box, set it on my desk and play with the up/down button until I figured out exactly how to program. That way, you don’t have to keep unscrewing/removing the timer box from the door once it’s mounted in order to do a manual reset. You could actually do this for a few days before installing the door so that you know exactly how the timer works and how to program.For the reviews on here that mention poor battery life…this unit takes TWO (2) AA batteries which run about .65 cents a piece. If you cannot afford spending $1.30 for batteries every 6 months for something that protects your flock, then you probably shouldn’t be buying this Run-Chicken door. I have had the same batteries installed for 6 months. Just tested them last week and they are still fully charged…so I’m guessing I will get another 2-3 months in cold weather - that means I will get 9 months use out of mine. Honestly I wouldn’t mind paying $1.30 every month…that’s how much I love this door.What color of door is best? It’s really a personal preference. I bought the red door. Because of the bright, bold color, it is super easy to look out my back window and see that it is up or down. I wouldn’t be able to see it as easily if it was a neutral color (especially with it being mounted on the inside of the coop)…just my own personal preference.Hope this info was helpful & I hope you enjoy your automatic door as much as I do!

I love this chicken coop door. It has the option to open and close with daylight or with a button. I just use the button option when I am out collecting eggs that way I can make sure all my chickens are in the shed as well. I do wish there was an option on the app to open and close on your phone. I also live in MI where temps get super cold and I will say sometimes at night when closing the door it almost seems off track and I have to click the button again to make it close all the way. It's almost like it didn't sense how much it closed and stopped halfway in between (not the chick safe stop in between) it actually stops and then doesn't close. I hope when the weather warms back up it doesn't act like it has been. But it is still working and is doing what it's intended use is for. One other thing is I wish it came with a cleaning brush of some sort to get the dirt out from between the tracks at the bottom. I have a build up from the chickens going in and out of dirt and I am not sure how to clean it out good enough to get the door to close all the way without the 1/4 inch crack at the bottom from the dirt build up. Again it's winter where I am and I can not run a hose to clean it up.

I absolutely love this automatic chicken door opener! It has made taking care of my flock so much easier and gives me real peace of mind. The door opens right on time every morning so my hens can head out without me having to rush outside at sunrise, and it closes securely every evening to keep them safe from predators.The installation was straightforward, and the instructions were clear. I was impressed with how sturdy and well-built the door is—it feels like it will hold up for years. I also really appreciate that it runs consistently in all kinds of weather; even after rain and cold nights, it hasn’t missed a beat.This product has truly simplified my daily routine. No more worrying if I’m running late or not home at dusk—the door handles it for me. My chickens adjusted right away, and I can tell they’re happier with the consistency too.Highly recommend this to any chicken keeper looking for reliability, safety, and convenience. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made for my coop!

This door is awesome! I bought it back in March of 2024 and it is going strong. It has worked without fail and without replacing the batteries once. It opens at dawn and loses at dusk everyday without intervention. I bought a solar operated door before this one and I could never get it to work properly. I gave in and bought this battery operated one hoping it wouldn’t need new batteries every month like I was excepting. I have not had to change the batteries once. This door works without so effectively. I was sitting outside this morning and heard it open like it does every morning and thought this product is so reliable I need to write a review so that other people will know. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this automatic door! After two years I can testify that it has to be the best one on the market 😊

Good service team, had a problem with the product. They solved this super Good. Fast and friendly team. Verry happy with the product.

Super Sache, läuft ohne Probleme.

I've had a window screen cat flap for many years and the cats have come and gone as they like. But in recent times housing development in my area has put pressure on wildlife and now we have coyotes wandering our subdivision streets at night and sometimes in the daytime (and turkeys). I lost 2 cats to these coyotes. I closed the cat flap and then looked for another way to control when the cats could go in and out.I did not buy the cat doors that require a microchip because feedback mentioned that those collar chips had to be in a perfect position to work and the door makes a noise that scares shy cats. The cost of those cat flaps was the same as this Chicken Run.The Chicken Run door was big enough that my window screen cat flap could flap in or out with this in place and there would be no need for microchips so I bought one to try.I installed it on the inside with a wood frame butted up against the window screen cat flap and it works perfectly. It opens at 7:30 a.m. and closes at midnight. The sound of it opening is not scary to the cats; now, they can come and go as they like during the day.Also by closing at midnight, it prevents any raccoons from coming in the door as well - which hasn't been a problem.I do recommend this Chicken Run door. Note that it runs on 2 AA batteries which ARE INCLUDED. Set up is done on your cell phone - you download the free Chicken Run app from the App store and pair the device to your phone. Then you set the times you want or program it to open and close by the sun's light.It's easy to program.I am very happy with this device.

Ottimo, funziona perfetto

Bon produit, très bien emballé avec mode d'emploi en anglais et en allemand. Porte solide et pratique. L'application pour la modification de la programmation d'ouverture de la porte est très intuitive.
