Farmlite Automatic Chicken Coop Door

Got the same one sitting on the shelf gotta get it installed here soon..

Definetly a cool door, but for me I prefer ones that just run on batteries. I got a door from The Hen Hut a few months ago for only 65 dollars, and it is reliable as well as metal which is really all you need.

[@laurawenschlag7095]

How far above the door frame does the door extend when open please?

[@RockyRohde]

I’ll try to go check tommorow

[@billysanford9799]

How long was the solar cell cord?

[@RockyRohde]

I think 5-6 feet. It was long enough to run into the bottom of the coop to the roof.

[@RobertBasanez]

If the sensor malfunctions, will the door stop closing if it hits the chicken?

[@Aprild174]

Do you have any issue with the solar not charging the battery on cloudy days? I have one, was working fine but now it seems like the battery isnt providing enough power to the door. If I connect to backup box it works. I get mostly morning to noon sun.

[@RockyRohde]

That battery should work for days without solar. Maybe a bad battery or needs a full charge.. check voltage while it’s sunny and charging

[@mountainmama7823]

Is it possible to hook two farmlite doors to the eco worthy box? I am using one door for my coop and one to go outside the run and would like to tie them both into one battery and solar panel.

[@RockyRohde]

I would think so
