The black lever mounted on the door serves as an automatic latch. When the opener lifts the door, the lever is pulled out of the way. When the opener lowers the door, it allows enough slack in the rope for the counterweight on the lever to pivot the lever and engage the lock pin on the left. The door then cannot be opened manually.

This is the second video installment of our chicken coop door. This is the automatic coop door using a Add-A-Motor 80 drapery motor [AAM80]. Hooked it up to a timer and now the door opens and closes automatically. Just another way to increase the cool factor of your chicken coop.

The first video was a manual door that can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHYa2PEJRHk Building a coop door is easy and functional.
