This is the best door on the market and has made our life so much easier. Not to mention the peace of mind it offers. Being able to control and monitor the door from my phone is a game changer!!"
- Paula D., New York
"Great Customer Service - I have used the coop tender products for almost 10 years. Very reliable, and great customer service when I have had any issues."
- Dan D., Michigan
"Keeps on tickin' after 5 years! - It's been 5 years and this door is still a workhorse. None of that flimsy string like other auto-doors. I had one of those and it lasted less than 5 months and I never knew the status. I have the WiFi module. Other than occasional maintenance, this coop door is trouble-free and reliable. And the follow up service is excellent, tho maybe a bit slow -- usually takes a day to get an email back, but he stays on it until resolved. Do not buy anything else!"
- Habib H., Tennessee
"This is my second door from this company. My first has been serving me well for 8 years. I appreciate their customer service as well as their excellent door design. I will continue to be a loyal Coop Tender customer."
- Shea M., Oklahoma
Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and bears cannot defeat our steel worm drive mechanism
80% of backyard chicken losses are caused by predators. It usually happens because someone forgot to close the coop door just one time.
Most automatic doors use cables and pulleys that predators can defeat. Our solid steel worm drive creates a physical lock that cannot be forced open by any predator - protecting your investment 24/7.

Coop Tender automatic doors are built to last 10-15+ years with proper maintenance. Our solid steel worm drive mechanism and industrial-grade electronics are rated for -20°F to 185°F, far outlasting cable-based systems that typically need replacement every 3-5 years. Learn more about door lifespan.
Our automatic coop door features Dawn-to-Dusk (a.k.a. Dusk-to-Dawn), Time Schedule, or manual operation giving you complete flexibility. Dawn and Dusk delays can be set, and the Daylight Value that triggers the door can be adjusted using the keypad menu. The door automatically opens and closes based on your chosen settings.
Coop Tender uses a solid 5/8" steel worm drive mechanism attached directly to the door. When closed, nothing can open it—not raccoons, bears, or any other predator. It's similar to a screw-driven garage door. The door construction, including the solid wood frame, cannot be penetrated by predators.
Yes. Coop Tender doors are rated for -20°F to 185°F operation. Unlike mechanical timers that freeze in winter, our digital micro-controller technology ensures reliable operation in all weather. The built-in Freeze Protect feature can be programmed to keep the door closed when temperatures drop dangerously low to protect your flock.
Our doors run on either AC electrical power or solar energy. Solar doors include a battery that stores energy (3-4 hours of sunlight per day is sufficient). AC-powered doors consume only 1 watt and can include an optional backup battery for 5+ days of operation during power outages. View solar options.
Most installations take 30-60 minutes. Simply slide the fully assembled door into your coop cutout and secure with 4 mounting screws (included). No assembly required—the door arrives ready to install and operate. View installation guide.
Yes. With the optional WiFi module, you can monitor and control your door from anywhere in the world using our Universal Web App. Get real-time status updates, receive SMS/email alerts, adjust schedules, and view temperature, battery, and door status charts. WiFi module can be added anytime. Learn about WiFi features.
No. First, ensure your chickens are trained to roost in the coop at night. They will naturally return before dark. Our door comes pre-programmed with a 10-minute dusk delay, and you can increase this delay for chickens that stay out later. The programmable delay system accommodates all flock behaviors.
No. The automatic door closes slowly over approximately 1-4 minutes, giving your chickens plenty of time to pass through safely. The controlled closing speed ensures no harm comes to your flock.
Yes. All Coop Tender products are backed by a full 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering all components, including electronics. We stand behind the quality and durability of our doors.
Yes. Electronics are protected within the sealed controller enclosure. All wooden parts are treated with RainGuard, a non-toxic, environmentally friendly wood sealer that never needs reapplication. We recommend installing with the AC power inlet (back of unit) inside the coop for maximum weather protection.
Yes. WiFi capability can be added anytime. When ordered with your door, the necessary connector is pre-installed. If ordered separately, you'll receive the connector which is simple to install yourself.
