Lifetime
Galvanized Steel
construction does not rust or rot. The
Sprocket Drive
keeps the door locked shut. Beware of brands that pull a string and rely only on gravity to hold the door shut -- On the ADOR1, the sprocket stays engaged. Trust you should never have to replace this door! Easy to maintain. After the warranty period, if you ever need replacement parts,
PARTS ARE AVAILABLE
from AdorStore.
The ADOR1
DOES NOT NEED
solar panels,
DOES NOT NEED
expensive rechargeable batteries, and
DOES NOT NEED
electric chargers because it runs for
AT LEAST ONE YEAR
on a cheap 6 volt lantern battery.
This offer
includes
your first battery, but when you need a replacement battery you will find it at Walmart for less than , or Sporting Goods stores, or your local hardware or department store and even grocery stores.
The ADOR1
DOES NOT NEED
to be programmed (there are things you can set, like time delays, but in most cases are not necessary). You do not have to keep track of the seasonal changes for the timing of opening/closing. The ADOR1 adapts to the seasons. Just install the ADOR1 and forget it. What a pain to have to remember to change the time on the door every few weeks! The ADOR1 uses an infra-red light detector and a special computer algorithm to sense the events of sunrise and sunset and open/close based on those events. There are user adjustments to allow some deviation from those times, if you want.
The ADOR1 has a
manual over-ride
button, and it
self-tests
and
indicates status
on its LED display and/or its buzzer. It measures the amount of motor current which shall be indicative of the force that it experiences in shutting and opening the door -- and if the current is too high, it reverses direction and tries again twice more. This allows for detection of something that is in the way of the door closing -- perhaps a chicken, upon which it should escape after being squeezed a little.
The
ADOR1 is in its 8th year of production
with many thousands in use by happy customers
. It was designed here and is
manufactured here in the USA
by a company founded in 1981.
Dimensions: OPENING 13"H x 10.5" W. OVERALL WHEN CLOSED 18.5"H x 11.5" W (allow 10" for door to slide above the frame).
OVERALL WHEN OPEN 28.5"H.
NOTE: Units starting 6/14/18 have 5" removed from the top of the frame so the old photos show a taller frame. But the opening is the same and the overall required clearance is the same. Allow for 28.5" total when considering how much height the ADOR1 needs for installation.
The ADOR-MINI is also available, which is only 20.5" tall when open... check with us for details.
If you have looked at other automatic chicken doors, you may have noticed that some need to be powered by a solar panel and large battery, or by AC electric house power, or with a trickle charger for the battery. The ADOR1 uses so little energy that
you do NOT need all those things
. If you compare prices, you will see that there are many things you may need to purchase to make other chicken doors function. Also, the light sensor is built-in and included with the ADOR1. It is ready to install without requiring more things for you to have to buy.
