Trusted by chicken owners for more than a decade.

Built Like Farm Equipment.

When your flock depends on it every night, durability matters.

The ADOR1 is built from heavy-duty 20-gauge galvanized steel and engineered for years of dependable outdoor use. It's designed to operate in temperatures from -20°F to 115°F and has been tested through the equivalent of more than 35 years of daily operation.

Engineered to Keep Predators Out.

Every part of the ADOR1 was designed with security in mind.

Its positive-drive sprocket system remains engaged with the door, making it extremely difficult for predators to force it open. A bottom guard rail helps prevent prying underneath the door, while intelligent obstruction detection safely stops the door if something is in its path.

Built in Texas. Proudly Made in America.

Every ADOR1 is designed, assembled, tested, and shipped from our workshop in New Ulm, Texas.

We build each door in-house so we can maintain control over the materials, assembly, and testing behind every unit. Before an ADOR1 leaves our shop, it is checked for proper operation and prepared for dependable use right out of the box.

We bought our door in April 2013, and it is still working and worked flawlessly for these eleven years.
