As much as I love my chicken run door, their customer service is equally helpful. I love that this door opens with the sunrise OR preset preferred time OR manually and closes the same. My family used to be early risers and opening the coop was never difficult but over the last couple years my family has evolved into a waking pattern between 7 and 8am. That's not incredibly late but I want my hens to enjoy as much time out of their coop as possible, so having this chicken run door has allowed me to sleep peacefully knowing that the girls can start their day without me. This is my first year with the door and over the winter I found that the plastic that I wrap my run with for wind protection was causing the door to open late - it's a frosted clear plastic. But this door has that wonderful timer setting - so I was able to go out one morning and manually program the door to open with the sunrise. Before I manually set it, I was still able to press the button to manually open the door when I went out to feed/ water. Closing the door is equally flexible and convenient. I prefer to manually close my door at night, I can do a head count, gather eggs, and wish everyone a good night (I'm sure I'm not the only one, haha). But I also can rest assured that the door will close after sunset if I'm unable to get there or if I do my chores early. Like today - it started snowing at 3:00 so I went out to let my sheep into their stall and checked for eggs in the coop - now I'll let the chicken run door close itself. The flexibility that this door gives me is priceless. So, fast forward, my door started eating batteries and I couldn't figure out why. At first I thought our deep freeze temperatures did it - and maybe it did, the first time. But then it happened multiple times following that and we weren't dealing with extreme temps anymore. So I reached out to customer service and they were more than helpful walking me through the corrections needed! It turns out that I had debris stuck at the bottom of my track and the door wasn't closing properly. I now have a small pick that stays in my run so that I can regularly be sure my track stays clear. I fully expect this solution to correct my battery issue but I suppose time will tell. I'm confident that if I have any other hiccups, I can reach out to the support team for assistance.

Packed well, good instructions, arrived faster than expected, and seems to be very quality product. Will most likely purchase another in near future.

Love this door so far! We’ve had it up & running for almost month. We have it programmed to open at 7:30am & to close at 6:30pm. So EASY to program! The only one issue we had was one day it rained then froze that night. (central Montana) The next morning the door didn’t open due to ice. I just tapped on each side of the door to loosen the ice & it opened right up. Would HIGHLY recommend this door!

My original door quit accepting the program. I reach out to Run-Chicken, they quickly got back to me with several suggestions, to no avail. While trying their suggestions, I dropped the drive and the small switch broke off. I let them know what happened. They promptly replaced the drive at no charge. Or programmed on the first try. Excellent customer serve and product.

The door has been working well for the last 3 three weeks. I installed it on a resin (plastic) shed - no issues. One suggestion when programing the door with the app - it will not program is the light sensor is in direct like. You will need to shade it (or at least I did).

Easy setup. Works flawlessly. I have an electric fence, but this is my backup defense. No more fox raids!
