The ChickSafe Advance automatic chicken coop door opener is a tough and reliable system for automatically opening your coop door in the morning and closing it in the evening as light levels fall, keeping your birds safe and giving you peace of mind. Complete with space-saving 2-stage sliding door kit with long-lasting uPVC runners and fully exterior grade weatherproofed aluminum door.
Running on only 4 x AA batteries (included), this Advance hen house door opener is easy to fit any chicken coop with a vertical sliding (or hinged) door. The all-in-one design makes setting up a breeze – no messy wiring or limit switches to attach to your coop. Simply secure the control box to the front of your coop with the 2 screws provided, tie the lifting cord to your existing door and you’re away. No manual calibration is necessary; the ChickSafe Advance automatically adjusts to the height of your hen house door.
Like the Eco model, the ChickSafe Advance features a novel mechanism (patent pending) with only one moving part and no mechanical switches for ultimate reliability. Weatherproof and made from UV resistant materials it is designed to work in extreme conditions and can lower and raise a door weighing up to 8 Lbs. It features an ‘auto-stop’ if a chicken is obstructing the door.
Because the ChickSafe works by detecting light levels and looks for slow changes in the light they aren’t affected by car headlights at night. For your convenience the sensitivity of the falling light level is adjustable and an indicator shows that the door is open, closed, if the batteries are low or if there’s a fault. The batteries level is also shown on the digital display.
Unlike the entry-level Eco model, the ChickSafe Advance has fully digital menu-driven controls with a programmable real-time clock timer and full manual door control allowing the user to open or close the door at a set time and to override the automatic system. By a simple press of a button, the user can at any time either open or close the door or hold it in its current position until the override is switched off – handy if trying to isolate birds in the hen house.
The ChickSafe Advance also comes with a unique weekend ‘lie-in’ feature which allows the user to delay the opening of the door in the morning on 2 days out of 7 to a selected time which can be used to keep the birds contained for longer at weekends.
The space-saving coop door and runner kit included is a great solution for those with limited height who are not able to use their existing coop door or do not yet have a door. Suitable for nearly all coops it is easy to fit with the 6 screws provided and will get you set up in no time.
For long life, the 2 runners are made of uPVC and the door of fully exterior grade weatherproofed aluminum for excellent corrosion resistance. Strong yet light, this kit is an ideal replacement for chicken coops with horizontal sliding doors or for chicken coops with heavy doors. The 2 door panels each measure 11.8 inches wide x 7.3 inches tall for a maximum pophole size of 11 inches wide x 13 inches high. The two runners measure 22 inches in height.

While the product is functional and does its job, I found the price to be a bit steep for what it offers. It works well, but I think there are more affordable options on the market that perform similarly. It’s a good product, but not the best value.
