Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

I built a custom coop and was looking for an automated door that I could trust. Reviews of less expensive options made me highly sceptical that they would last. The Omlet Door is well built and gives me great confidence that it will keep working for years to come. The addition of the new smart features are a massive bonus!

Really impressed with the door, but even more impressed with the customer service. Janni was superb. Thank you.

Really pleased with the auto door. I already had one on my go up eglu and I wanted one for the outer area as they are on an allotment, it has made things a lot easier.

Excellent service re recent problem with automatic hen house door.

Great product! No more closing the coop door manually. We have it on the standard light sensor which works brilliantly. We weren’t sure at first whether the chickens would be in before door closes but so far it’s a 100% hit. It’s light on the standard AA batteries. So no need for a wired connection.

Excellent (and elegant) product, well constructed and easy to install in my timber coop.

Good all round product but would be handy to be able to set the time in the morning (prefer them to come out at 7am in summer) and dusk setting in the evening. At the moment can't mix and match.

I recently installed the Omlet automatic door on my timber chicken house (which itself sits inside a fenced compound). The installation process was relatively straight-forward although I did have to jury-rig a couple of things - I needed two larger screws (than the ones provided) to secure the bottom of the door, and I spent a bit of time fashioning some metal brackets to reattach the little ramp in to the nesting box (which had to be removed as part of removal of the existing coop door). Probably not necessary but I also used a couple of spacers along the top of the door as the design of my coop meant the door was not flush all the way around. My coop is a common design so it may be worth Omlet considering putting together an attachment kit for this style. The manual spoke about a door calibration function but I was not able to activate this. Nonetheless the door appears to open and close perfectly. I now keep both the door to the coop and the compound open 24/7 with the Omlet door keeping our hens safe at night. We have already had one visit from a fox who left disappointed. I am very happy with my Omlet and can highly recommend it.

Our hens aren't at home so it was a real nuisance having to go back out to our smallholding late in the evening to secure them. This door has solved all of that! The light that comes on with it helps them all get onto their roosts safely and then the door quietly closes. Couldn't be without it.

This coop door was an easy install and has been incredibly reliable, never jamming. It seems designed for most coop set ups and with chicken-life in mind. I love that to door slides closed from the side, so nothing can get stuck at the base and leave a gap. The threshold design prevents debris from collecting and causing issues. It also looks great! I installed ours six months ago and the battery life is still showing 100%. The dusk to dawn sensor has worked great and our hens adapted quickly. I just ordered a second door for a new coop for a second batch of chickens. It's been worth every penny and allows us to safely leave our hens for the day or a dinner out.
