Your Automatic Coop Door is a key part of keeping your flock safe, but like any hardworking tool, it needs regular care. If it’s been acting up lately, it might be time to check the batteries.
3 Signs It’s Time to Swap the Batteries
Delayed or Inconsistent Operation
If your door is opening or closing at odd times or in odd sequences, low batteries could be the cause.
Blinking
A red blinking light signals your door needs new batteries ASAP.
Quick Temperature Drops
Cold weather drains batteries faster—be prepared to swap them more frequently in winter.
How to Replace the Batteries
Remove the 4 screws securing the sensor box.
Swap out the 2 AA batteries with fresh alkaline batteries (avoid rechargeables).
Secure the sensor box and test your door.
Happy Clucking!
