Thank you Omlet for a wonderful product and great service. The door arrived quickly, very well packaged and my concerns over assembling it were put to rest as I was able to complete the task completely unaided. The door is easy to operate and means my girls are safely tucked up at dusk and I do not have to get up ridiculously early to open the coop and stop them hollering! - Wendy

9 Benefits of the Automatic Chicken Door

The metal gearing holds the door in position when closed for maximum security.

The Omlet Automatic Chicken Coop Door has a powerful electric motor and metal gear that is directly mounted on the door frame for maximum security. Unlike other automatic chicken coop door openers that work on a string and pulley system, the Omlet Autodoor cannot be simply lifted up when shut. This feature ensures that chicken predators will not be able to move the door when it is closed. Your flock can sleep soundly in their cozy chicken coop knowing they have one of the most secure automatic doors in the world.

Benefits of the Omlet Automatic Chicken Coop Door:

Compatible with the Eglu Cube
Can be used with any chicken run or mesh
Easy to install, no maintenance required
Operated by light sensor or timer
Powered by battery
Works with all wooden chicken coops
Improves coop security and insulation
Reliable in all weather conditions
Built-in safety sensors

Light Sensing Automatic Chicken Coop Door

The light setting uses a sophisticated light sensor that can be adjusted by the user.

Omlet's Automatic Chicken Coop Door can be set to close at dusk and open at dawn. This setting will naturally follow the seasons, ensuring that your hens are safely tucked up when it gets dark. As the days get longer, the Autodoor certifies that your hens can get out of bed, even when you're enjoying a lazy weekend retreat or staycation.

The light setting uses a sophisticated light sensor to automatically open and close the door at a specific and adjustable light level selected by you. An optional time delay can be added so that the door operates up to an hour after dawn or dusk to suit your flock’s routine. The light sensor has built-in intelligence to recognize and ignore temporary illumination from a security light or flashlight and will only open after a consistent period of light above the threshold set by you. This helps to assure that your chickens stay safe and protected at all times in their chicken tractor. Also, unlike other less advanced automatic doors, it is designed to prevent any unwanted openings in the middle of the night.

How to program your Autodoor in Light Mode

Time and Manual Autodoor Settings

The time setting allows you to set an exact time for the door to open and close.

Another way to operate the Omlet automatic chicken door is by using the time setting. This allows you to set an exact time for the door to open in the morning and close in the evening. The advantage of this setting is that you have complete control over your chicken’s environment and you can set the Automatic Chicken Coop Door to meet your specific daily requirements. The control panel also has a manual function which allows you to open and close the door independently of the time or light settings. This application allows for total peace of mind and there is a built-in failsafe system for opening the door completely by hand.

How to program your Autodoor in Time mode

Attaches Directly To The Eglu Cube

The Autodoor is designed to fit directly to the Eglu Cube chicken coops. If you have an Eglu Cube Mk2 (model bought after 2016) it will already have attachments built into the front face and installation will only take a few minutes. On the other hand, for Eglu Cube Mk1 (model bought before 2016) customers, a fittings pack is available to fit the automatic chicken door securely to your hen house. In both cases you will not need to remove any parts or modify your Eglu Cube as the automatic door fits seamlessly into the design of your large chicken coop and your original Eglu door can continue to be operated with the Autodoor in place. A separate mounting bracket is required if you would like to attach the control panel to the main house in the Eglu Cube.

The Autodoor attaches directly to the inside of the Eglu Cube Mk2

It is also possible to fit the Autodoor to the Eglu Cube Mk1

Install on Any Chicken Enclosure

The versatility of the unique frame and door design allows you to fit the Omlet automatic chicken door to any kind of chicken pen, where you can choose to have the door opening to the left or to the right depending on which way you decide to fit the frame. You can attach the automatic chicken coop door to the Omlet Walk-in Enclosure as well as the run for the Eglu Go, Eglu Go Up and Eglu Cube chicken coops. You can also fit the Autodoor to traditional mesh style fencing so if you have a homemade coop and chicken run the automatic door will make a great addition to your setup. Step-by-step instructions are provided on how to fit your automatic chicken door to all different types of mesh.

The Autodoor can be fitted to all types of chicken run, including Eglu Go and Eglu Go Up chicken runs.

The Autodoor is fully compatible with the Omlet Walk In Run and can be fitted so the door opens to the left or to the right.

Automatic Door Compatible With All Wooden Coops

Owners of wooden chicken coops can also benefit from the Omlet automatic chicken coop door opener as it is compatible with virtually any design of wooden coop. The design allows the automatic chicken door to be fitted either way up so that the door opens to the left or to the right, depending on which option best matches the configuration of your wooden coop. Not only is the Autodoor a great practical addition to a wooden chicken coop, it is also a significant upgrade on traditional wooden doors in terms of insulation, security and durability. Clear instructions are provided on how to fit the automatic door directly to your wooden chicken coop quickly and securely.

Automatic Chicken Coop Door Powered By Battery or Mains

The Autodoor can be powered by 4 AA batteries

The automatic door can be powered by 4 AA batteries or mains.

Four AA batteries are all that is required to power the Omlet Autodoor, there is no need for a nearby power source and additional wiring. The door has been endurance tested under battery power and you can expect a set of batteries to last for 6 months. Please note that batteries are not supplied with the Automatic Chicken Coop Door and if you are using the Autodoor combined with a Coop Light you will have up to 4 months battery life.

If you would like to power your Autodoor from a main outlet then you must purchase the Omlet-approved 12 V supply separately.

Please note: The 12V supply can only be used with Autodoors purchased after April 2023. Please check our FAQ section if you’re unsure about which Autodoor you have. The Autodoor should only be powered by mains using the Omlet-approved power adaptor. We cannot offer any warranty (expressed or implied), support or advice if you connect any other form of power supply to your Autodoor.

Built-in Autodoor Safety Sensors

The intelligent safety sensors prevent the door from closing if there is an obstruction.

The Omlet Autodoor Chicken Coop Door has unique built in safety sensors that work in the same ways as elevator doors. The sensors help detect if any chickens are in the way of the door when it is gently closing. So, if you have a sleepy chicken resting in the doorway then one or both sensors will help detect it and the door will open again to allow the chicken to move. The door will then automatically try to close again until there are no feathery obstructions in the way and your chickens are all safe inside the coop.

Optional Coop Light

The Coop Light comes on before the Autodoor closes to let your hens know it's time for bed!

The Coop Light is a great addition to your chicken coop as it helps to encourage chickens to go back into their coop or run when it gets dark. Powered by the control panel of the Autodoor, the light will automatically come on around 5 minutes before the door closes. This works on both the Time and Light setting on your Autodoor and you can also manually switch the Coop Light on at any time. This is particularly useful if you get home after dark and need to check that your hens are safely roosting.

The Coop Light can be attached to the inside of your chicken coop, or to the side of your run.

Find out more about the Coop Light.

Please note that if you bought your Automatic Chicken Coop Door before April 2023, the door will need to be powered by battery rather than mains if you want to add a Coop Light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect a solar panel or other power supply?

You must use the AutoDoor as specified in the instruction manual by using either AA batteries or our power adapter. A set of AA batteries will last a long time (between 6-12 months). We cannot offer any warranty (expressed or implied), support or advice if you connect any other forms of power supply to you Autodoor. There is a high risk that you may damage your Autodoor, and the product may not work as intended.

Can I open the door manually?

Yes, there is a manual mode where the door opens and closes only when you press the button. For safety and peace of mind, there is also a built-in failsafe system for opening the door completely by hand. Check the instruction manual to find out how to do this.

Can the door be used vertically?

No, the motor in the door is designed to open the door horizontally.

Will all my chickens go to bed at the same time?

If you watch your chickens for a few days you will see that in most cases, they will all go into the coop within half an hour of each other. Keep note of at what time this happens, so you can select the correct time or light level on the door.

When should I change the batteries?

We would suggest changing the batteries when the control panel is showing the level as 20% or lower. We also advise you check the batteries every three months to make sure they are all in good condition.

Why should I add a coop light?

There are two main reasons. Firstly, having a light in the coop will encourage the chickens to return to their house when it gets dark. This is especially good if you have one or two hens that tend to stay out longer than the rest.

Secondly, it’s useful to have a light in the coop if you want to check on your hens when it's dark, maybe as you come home from work or just before you go to bed. The hens won’t be bothered by you turning on the light for a minute and peeking into the coop.

Can you use the light and time setting at the same time?

No, you can only use one setting at a time. It is possible that you might want to change which setting you use throughout the year depending on your flock’s routine and the number of daylight hours.

How do I know if I can power my Autodoor from a main outlet?

The mains power supply only works with Autodoors bought after April 2023. If you’re unsure about which version of the door you have, you can check the control panel. If yours has a number (014.0130) in the top left corner of the Warning sticker, you can power your Autodoor with battery or mains. If it doesn’t, you should only power your door with batteries.

What batteries should I use to power my Autodoor?

Only use good quality AA batteries with your Autodoor. Please make sure you use 4 batteries that are the same brand, same type and same energy level.

If you have an Autodoor where you have the option to change the language of the control panel, you can use either alkaline or lithium batteries. If you have an older Autodoor, you should not use lithium batteries, as this may affect the function of the door. If you're unsure about which Autodoor you have, please contact out customer service team and they will be able to help.

Can I use it with chicks?

The Autodoor is designed to be used by adult chickens, and it’s wise to only use manual mode if you have chicks in the flock.

What are the dimensions of the door?

Door Frame: 19.25 in. x 16.5 in x 2. 25 in. Control Panel: 4.75 in. x 4.5 in. x 1.5 in. Cable Length: 78.74 in.

Which coops does the Autodoor fit on?

The Autodoor fits straight on the Eglu Cube Chicken Coop, and on the absolute majority of wooden chicken coops or barns. If you have an older Eglu Cube (before 2016), you can fit the Autodoor by using an attachment kit. You can also fit it to mesh or chicken wire on a run.

Will the coop light affect the battery time?

If you have a coop light installed, this will make the battery life shorter, but you can still expect approximately 4 months of battery life if using good quality batteries.

What is the power of the coop light?

The power of the coop light is 1.5 watt and it is an LED light. This is equivalent to a 15 watts light bulb.

What time system is used to program the door?

The Autodoor uses military time, with a 24h clock. So if you, for example, want to program your door to close at 6pm, you would set the control panel to 18.00.

Can the Autodoor be fitted to the Eglu Go/Go UP/Classic?

The Autodoor cannot be fitted to any other Eglus than the Eglu Cube Mk1 and Mk2. You can however, using an attachment kit, fasten it to any Omlet run.

A great purchase! - Susan, New York, 29 September 2023

Love,love,love this automatic chicken door. It is well made, works as stated and gives me the pleasure of heading out to the coup a bit later in the morning. I must admit after it was installed I went to the coup at dusk for two nights to be sure the door closed and the girls were safe. It works and on a farm it is always a treat to have one less chore.

The Girls follow the light! - Elaine, 27 September 2023

I purchased the automatic door which was brilliant but then as the evenings started to get darker earlier the girls didn’t seem to be making it into the coope before the door closed. After a bit of research I realised I needed a coope light.the Omlet coope light has worked brilliantly. I installed and programmed it myself - I was surprised I was able to as I’m not good at that sort of thing. It works like a dream. It comes on as dark falls and 15 minutes before the automatic door closes. Then goes off soon after. Since I put it in all the girls have made it in on time. It means they got the most time possible outside every day having the light and auto door together. I have a wooden coope but the products work perfectly on it.

Get the coop light! - Bobbi, 20 September 2023

I should have bought the coop light when I purchased the door. My chickens were already trained to come to a light which I had added but it required me to make an extra trip to turn the light on and then another to turn it off. Order your automatic door with the coop light installed!
