Why Choose Small Size Automatic Doors?

💰 Most Economical Option
Lowest-cost professional automatic door with full steel worm drive security. Perfect for pet chicken owners with just a few small birds.
🏠 Urban Coop Compatible
Ideal for compact urban coops and small backyard setups. Smaller door means smaller structural impact on mini coop designs.
