Bought this to replace an old one. The switchover was easy, I was up & rolling again in about 15 minutes. Now the girls are happy again, not having to wait for me to get out of bed in the mornings!
Seriously good bit of kit. Get one. You won't regret it.

I owned one of these before for 10 years and have just bought another one highly recommended

Simple to operate and programme. Effective and efficient. Happy ..

Every morning my wife could hear the chickens making a noise as they wanted to get out of their coop... and every night we would have t shut them up no matter what the weather was doing. Not anymore. I haven't tried the light sensor operation at this time. I adjust the times at the weekend for the week ahead according to the sunrise and sunset times.

... and all seems to be working as it should.
Our first German-made automatic door opener worked okay but after many years(15?) the weather and corrosion got the better of it.
Cheap Chinese replacement worked for a month or two but then became totally erratic and of no use to anyone.
Decided to spend the extra on Chickenguard due to consistent good reviews and uk support; basically seeking reliability.
Product feels like it has a solidly made case of quality plastic and appears to be well sealed against the weather.
Easily fixed in place and set up procedure followed - two weeks later it is doing exactly what it should; opens in the morning, closes at night!
