What our customers are saying

★★★★★

Game Changer!!! This door and all the accessories were expertly designed and worth every penny. The installation was easy and setup was a breeze. My chickens needed zero training. I have the door set to open at dawn and close 30 minutes after sunset. Works flawlessly every single time.

Well designed and well built. - This is a high quality item. It is well thought out, including for diverse situations, and easily installed. The wooden door and frame are excellently fabricated. The auger (instead of gravity/cable) is dependable, and electronics are really thorough. Don’t be afraid of the menu/options. All choices are confirmed by a cycling review. Excellent and speedy tech support. I recommend incl. battery back-up.

Amazing Chicken Door, Best Around. This is our second purchase of the automatic chicken coop door and we are just as happy as we were with the first one. We love these doors and the customer service is amazing. The quality of the door is better than we have seen in others and the "extras" that you can add is far more than any other company offers.

Great Chicken Door! Well worth the $$$$. Takes away the worry of your chickens being safely closed in at night. The WiFi feature also lets us control the unit when out of town which is awesome as well. Highly recommend.

Easy Installation! I am typically not the best at putting things together, BUT I was amazed how easily I was able to install the Coop Tender automatic door. I did it myself and LOVE my new door. Wish I had purchased it years ago.

★★★★★

Works well and easy to install. Very happy with the purchase as the door works very well, was easy to install, and is fairly easy to operate. Worth spending the extra money relative to cheaper alternatives. I didn’t realize nice an automatic door would be. The extra money spent for a reliable product is worth the peace of mind.

Highly recommend - The CoopTender is a very well built door and does everything I could want. I have tested many different scenarios and it has worked flawlessly. The main reason that I bought it was for the wifi feature for times we need to be away from the Homestead and that alone is worth it.
