User questions & answers

Question:	How long will batteries last
Answer:	This is approximate... About as thick as a plastic drinking water bottle pliable not rigid. I used it for the walls and ceiling on a greenhouse before the cover.
Question:	What prevents chickens from getting trapped
Answer:	No. It is plastic. I have squirrels running in and out of my garden through this fence.
Question:	How long is your warranty? And does it come with the aluminium door
Answer:	Hello - Amazon forwarded this question to me with a "can you answer this" request. I can answer the first part. According to a large label on the package, this product contains lead and "other potentially carcinogenic chemicals". I returned it and wrote a scathing review asking exactly what you just asked - why is Amazon selling a product containing lead at all, much less with a recommended use around gardens and animals?! I have no answer to that one. I sent my highly negative review in June and obviously they're still selling it. There are similar nontoxic products available.

Question:	Is the Premium model waterproof
Answer:	I've had mine since 2017 and it has weathered 3 New England winters so I would say, for most instances it's quite waterproof. Not sure if it fell into a bucket of water it would still work!
Question:	installing the unit and string spool will not move up and down, do you have any suggestions as to what may be causing and how to fix
Answer:	Please make sure the door weight is not more than 2 lbs. The red/black lead also needs to be plugged in correctly with the black wire on top. For more FAQ please seek help at ChickenGuard.com. Thanks!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you adjust the evening close like you can morning time
Answer:	Hello, and thanks for asking. Of course, you can adjust the evening closing by turning the potentiometer located under the power unit on the right (shown in the instructions). It can be done without tools and is always accessible. Thanks again for the question, and if there are any further questions, don't hesitate. Greetings. Jure Markic Owner off RUN-CHICKEN
Question:	Can someone tell me how to adjust the evening closing? The first time I set the dial just off of the Sun and it closed 45 minutes before dark
Answer:	Dear Luna, You can adjust the evening closing by turning the potentiometer (test button) clockwise towards the moon icon and turning on switches 1 and/or 2 inside the drive unit. Turning on the switch 1 will cause the door to close 30 min after sunset, and switch 2 will close 60 min after sunset. Turning on both switches will make the door to close 90 min after sunset. I hope we answered your question. If you have any further complications please feel free to contact us again. Kind regards! RUN-CHICKEN Team
Question:	Very interested in this product, we are looking into setting up and raising chickens, concerned about no reviews, is there a website for this company
Answer:	Hello dear customer Great question!! Yes, I would also worry about buying a product with a little review, and a low price would question the quality and credibility?? We are a serious company and have our website support and stuff, which due to the Amazon sales policy, we cannot write. We have been developing and improving the product for 11 + months so that the price for the customer will be as low as possible, while the quality will be the best possible on the market, with the aim that the product still works like the first day after 10 years. As for the review's concerns, however, I can tell you that we have only been on the market at amazon.com since December. To buy or force our customers into reviews, it simply not our story. If the review is good; help us at salles if a review is bad; help as at deciding in which way improving our product. I rather have 10 bad reviews than one fake positive. I want honesty, as we all would need one in real everyday life. Thanks again for the question !! I hope I'm at least a little helpful in your decision. Jure Markic RUN-TIGER RUN-CHICKEN
Question:	Will this door open during the night if my motion lights comes on in the run
Answer:	Thanks for the question! I'm afraid so. However, you can try to somehow shade the LDR sensor so that it does not receive direct light from the side of the light. We resolved such a situation with clients in two ways. One was: by shading the LDR sensor from direction of your automated light. Others: Pull the Light sensor to the place where is natural light without interference Minimal modifications are required here. The LDR sensor is glued on the inside with 2 wires, which can be easily detached from the wires, cut and extended. So you have an extended sensor that detects day/night light, which you mount on the outside place location with natural light without interference. In any case, you have a full warranty. We also have 24/7 customer support who will be happy to help you make this modification. Jure Markic RUN-TIGER LLC RUN-CHICKEN

User questions & answers

Question:	How can this be connected for solar power
Answer:	Yes! Mine was the same way. Go to Home Depot or another home improvement type store and purchase a 90 degree 3 or 4 inch(depending on your size clean out pipe) elbow plumbing fixture. You will also need the male threaded connector to fit your original opening and the female thread connector for the doggie doo drain. Some pvc glue and that's it. Its very simple.... This will then allow you to mount the Doggie Doo drain in an upright position. See picture here (copy and paste this link) - http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb417/rb404/SAM_0034_zps5c8ff231.jpg

Question:	How can you reset the door when it has a calibration error? Haven’t been able to get response from company

User questions & answers

Question:	will this door crush chickens? Is there a sensor to determine whether a chicken is in the way of the door closing
Answer:	These are super tiny. A grain could fit if oriented correctly; otherwise no. Can't picture what you are planning but check out the size of these -
Question:	What model of this brand is solar powered
Answer:	Yes, I believe it's smaller than 1/4 inch, probably closer to 1/8 inch.
Question:	Are there any gaps that rats could get in
Answer:	One US quart of raw sugar converted to pound equals to 2.20 lb. How many pounds of raw sugar are in 1 US quart? The answer is: The change of 1 qt ( US quart ) unit in a raw sugar measure equals = into 2.20 lb ( pound ) as per the equivalent measure and for the same raw sugar type. So depending on how heavy your rice is I would think approxamately 16lbs.
Question:	Is there a way to open and close the door by a push of the button or does it have to be on timer or light sensitive
Answer:	I don't think it will. Mine locks but as soon as you bump it, the square lid part pops open. I ordered 2, and both do it. I would pick something else if it's a container staying outside and needs to be truly airtight.
