Very durable and secure construction. I found it nice that I could set a specific time to open, to keep the rooster in a l later, and let the light sensor close it. I really like this door but really needs to have app access and maybe even cameras accessible by app too.

The chickens are safe at night because once the Chickenguard auto door closes, you cannot just lift it up by hand like other doors, it locks down. I have purchased 3 of these, one for each coop and only had an issue one time, the batteries that are included are a no name type and, in a hurry, I installed those. About 2 months went by and one morning the door wasn't open and I thought oh no, what's wrong, this is a brand new door?! I changed the batteries using a reliable NAME BRAND battery and the door started working again no problems. I easily go 8 months on a name brand battery without having to change it so just go ahead and spring for some good batteries for your Chickenguard door, it's worth it! The chickens sleep great and so do I knowing they're super safe and I don't have to run out there first thing on the ice cold mornings!

Highly recommend! Recently acquired our grandson's flock and relocated them from Texas to Cali. Needed to build a secure coop as coyotes are present. Grandson had a Chicken Guard door and recommended the same. Love it! Before the door we had to hand carry them into the coop after finding them in the trees at night - the auto door brought back their routine.
