CAN I MOUNT ADOR1 HORIZONTALLY?
We have received some requests for whether ADOR1 can be mounted so the door slides horizontally.
Yes, it works sideways!
If your coop has a short wall, mounting sideways may be a solution for you. But don't forget we have a shorter door just for that purpose of installing in a short coop. The ADOR1-mini is only 20.5" tall when open -- check out the ADOR1-mini here.
WARNING: Just make certain that it is not where rain, or water can fall on it. If on the side, the lid cannot provide the roof-function to keep the electronics from getting wet.
Also you will need to block the battery from falling against the motor or board... use tape or Velcro.
