Right to Repair has been a hot topic recently. The topic is mainly focused on high-tech integrations into numerous products from iPhones to farm tractors.
The Right to Repair concept is simple: if you own the product, you have the right to repair it. The problem is that many manufactures have made it difficult or impossible to repair their products.
We at Coop Tender® have always believed that you should have access to information necessary to troubleshoot and repair your automatic chicken door. We also designed our auto coop door to allow access to most major components without the need to uninstall the door.
Detailed information on how Coop Tender ® Automatic Chicken Doors are manufactured is provided in posts “DIY Automatic Chicken Door – Part 1” and “DIY Automatic Chicken Door – Part 2 – Electronics”.
