Product Description

D20 Pet Door Motor

Model D20 Chicken Door Motor

This kit was designed with you and your chickens in mind. Chicken Safety & Owner Sanity are our Top Priorities!

Our motors can lift a max of 40 pounds but is recommended for door weights under 10 pounds. For best results 2 pound doors is desirable for the safety of your chickens. You can relax knowing we do not use cheap parts or suppliers. All our products are made and assembled here in USA. This kit also includes all installation instructions and assembly hardware to make you chicken coop door automated. Our motors are also controller friendly if you wanted to use timers, remote controls, wi-fi outlets, bluetooth controller and many more!

Actuators

Easy Installation

Heavy Duty Motor

Easy Setup

No need to mess with buttons or complicated programming devices. Simply rotate the black dial on the motor to tell it how far to reel up or down.

Since our motor is not digital a power disruption will never reset or change the motors settings.

Easy Installation

You wont need to hire an expert to install this for you. Simply use the included instruction manual and mount the door and rails at the desired location on your coop wall. Mount and set the motors travel distance to tell it how far to reel up or down by using the black dial on the front of the motor. Then lastly setup the timer to your desired open and close times.

Heavy Duty Motor

Although the motor is rated for a 40 pound max lift, we recommend a door under 5 pounds for max motor lifespan. For optimum safety for chickens we recommend doors under 2 pounds. This means your motor will be operating well under the maximum allowance preserving the motor for years to come.

Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the animal cage. They mention that it broke after about a year, it was not heavy duty enough, strong or reliable enough to be used on a farm. The motor has already broken after six months, and the cord that lifts the door broke. The mechanism, the internal plastic axel on the adjustment gears broke off. The mount is a bit flimsy, and there is high variability in the quality.

Works Great as a Pet Door

Works Great as a Pet Door
This review is different from most as I purchased the Add-A-Motor Model D20 automatic door accessory for my cat. I have an indoor/outdoor cat and needed a way to control his ability to use his cat door. Before this device, he would be able to roam day and night. With it installed, we can now keep him in the house when we want, typically at night.You can see my set up in the attached photo. I control the device with a WiFi outlet switch, which can is controlled by my phone and app. Overall, I am pleased with its performance and build quality. However, if I had to install it outside, I would be a bit concerned about a freezing door, and subsequent jam may overload the unit. Again, I have no experience with this. I have read other reviews regarding this issue.I did have a problem with the DC power supply. This issue was during the down sequence; the motion was erratic. It pulsed, and the door lowered about 1/16th of an inch at a time. Sometimes, it pulsed one to five times, and then it ran as it should. Other times it pulsed the entire trip down. A quick email to product customer support, a rapid reply within 24 hours, and another power supply was quickly sent out. The new power supply works as advertised, and my set up has been running great.Overall, I am happy with the product and the company standing behind their product. I can't comment on longevity. I will update in the future as we put it through its paces.
Thank you for your feedback
