Safe Coop Automatic Chicken Coop Door for Safer, Easier Poultry Care


The Safe Coop Automatic Chicken Coop Door takes care of the daily opening and closing routine for you. Set your preferred time or light level and the door will automatically operate according to your settings, so you don't need to be there every morning or evening.

Designed for Australian conditions, the Safe Coop system is reliable, low maintenance and suitable for most chicken coops and runs.


A Smarter Way to Manage Your Chicken Coop


An automatic chicken door means you can spend less time managing your coop and more time enjoying your flock.


Once installed, the Safe Coop automatic door can:

  • Automatically open the coop in the morning

  • Automatically close the coop at night

  • Operate using a time setting or light sensor

  • Be manually opened and closed when required

  • Help keep your flock safely inside at night

  • Operate without mains power

  • Be installed on most chicken coops and runs


Automatic Opening & Closing


  • Set It and Let It Work: The Safe Coop automatic chicken door gives you flexible control over when your coop opens and closes.

  • Time-Based Operation: Set the door to open or close at a specific time to suit your flock's routine.

  • Light-Sensor Operation: Use the light sensor to automatically respond to changing daylight conditions. This can save you from adjusting the door throughout the year as sunrise and sunset times change.

  • Time + Light Sensor: You can set both a closing time and light level. When both are enabled, the door will close based on whichever setting occurs first.

  • Manual Operation: Prefer to control the door yourself? The system can also be set to manual opening and closing.


Choose the Auto-Locking Door if:


  • You want a built-in automatic locking mechanism

  • Security is a priority for your coop

  • You keep chickens or ducks

  • You want the door to automatically lock closed at night
