Chicken Guard automatic door

[diegodog1]

Hi all, first post in years. Questions with the Chicken Guard auto door.
1. Does the “ time of day” need to be reset after a power outage ?
2. if the door was in an open position when the power outage happened, will it remain open till a reset is done?
The reason for the question is, I’m on holiday and of course there was a power outage at my house. Im worried that now the power is back on the the door will either resume its per set times which will not be good at all, or remain in the position it was when the power went out. Neighbor is checking but has no experience with the auto door. Thank you in advance. Cheers

My door I have never reset when there is a power outage. Isn't it battery powered. Are the batteries dead?

Both my chicken guard doors run on batteries so power outages mean nothing.

With that said, when I replace the batteries I have to reset the time & any special adjustments I've made.

Yes, when you replace the batteries you have to reset it. Have you ever had any problems with it closing when it is to hot or to cold?

I have not. I've had 2 of them for years, we get 90's to blizzards here & have never had a single problem. If you have issues contact them, I've had great responses from them. I had to contact them on how to override the standard lux settings & they got back to me on a Sunday evening. I also had an issue when I bought one of them, it came broken, if I recall, & they replaced it immediately - no questions asked.

I run mine off batteries but you can power it using a USB cable (not the Extreme I think)

When my batteries die I have to reset the clock, but it remembers the other settings. It holds the door in whatever position it was in when the batteries failed.

How can it jump off the track? I have two and they are both vertical opening, if yours is coming out then you have not fastened the runs correctly onto your coop.

We made it so it would fit on our coop cuting the door opening. The door takes like two minutes just to open

Have you got a picture as we just mounted it on the outside of the coop with the hole cut into the coop wall. If you have it set inside of the cut hole then your measurements will be out and it is nipping the door in the track hence not being able to open properly, it only takes maybe 30 seconds for the door to open or shut.
