Give your chickens reliable automatic access to their coop with the ChickenGuard Pro Combi Kit Solar. This complete solar-powered automatic chicken door system combines the ChickenGuard Pro controller with a self-locking chicken coop door, helping make daily flock management easier while providing added security at night.
The door can be programmed to open and close using a timer or adjustable light sensor, while manual push-button operation gives you additional control whenever needed.
Powered by solar energy and designed for outdoor poultry environments, the ChickenGuard Pro is ideal for chicken keepers who want their coop door to open reliably each morning and close securely each evening without having to be there every time.

An automatic chicken coop door can remove one of the most repetitive parts of keeping backyard chickens. Instead of manually opening the coop every morning and closing it every evening, the ChickenGuard Pro can be programmed to operate automatically.
Choose between timer-based operation or the adjustable light sensor, depending on how you prefer to manage your flock.
This can be particularly useful for early mornings, weekends, changing daylight hours and periods when you may not be at home at your usual chicken-lock-up time.
The ChickenGuard Pro Combi Kit Solar uses solar power, making it especially useful for chicken coops located away from convenient mains electricity.
A solar-powered automatic coop door can simplify installation in backyard runs, acreage poultry setups and other locations where running electrical power to the chicken house would be inconvenient.
The ChickenGuard Pro gives you flexibility over how the coop door operates.
This combination lets you choose the operating method that best suits your flock, property and seasonal daylight conditions.
The self-locking door is included with the ChickenGuard Pro Combi Kit Solar.
The door measures 30cm high × 25cm wide and incorporates a self-locking design intended to provide additional security when the chicken coop door is closed.
This makes the complete Combi Kit particularly useful for chicken keepers who want both the automatic controller and compatible door supplied together rather than sourcing the components separately.
The ChickenGuard Pro incorporates an automatic stop feature. If the door encounters an obstruction while lowering, the system is designed to stop rather than continuing to pull against the obstruction.
This provides an important additional safety feature around chickens entering or leaving the coop.
Automatic calibration is designed to simplify setup by helping the ChickenGuard controller determine the operating limits of the installed coop door.
The system also includes self-diagnosis capability, with messages displayed on the screen when attention or action is required.
An integrated LCD screen makes it easier to set and adjust operating times and other settings.
The large control buttons are designed to make everyday programming straightforward, including when working around the chicken coop in colder weather.
The ChickenGuard Pro controller incorporates enclosed electronics designed for use around outdoor poultry housing.
Its more powerful motor also makes the Pro model suitable for chicken keepers looking for dependable automated door operation in more demanding conditions.
Closing chickens securely into their housing at night is an important part of backyard flock management. An automatic door can help establish a consistent opening and closing routine even when you're not physically beside the coop.
The self-locking door supplied with this kit provides an additional level of security once closed.
Automatic doors should still form part of a broader secure poultry setup. Check the complete coop, chicken run, fencing and surrounding area for other potential predator access points.
If you're building or upgrading your poultry housing, explore our Chicken Coops Australia collection for chicken houses and poultry housing options for backyard flocks.
A good chicken coop should combine appropriate security, ventilation, nesting areas, perches and easy cleaning access with enough capacity for the size of your flock.
Secure poultry housing works best alongside a clean and efficient feeding system. Keeping chicken feed contained can help reduce wastage and the amount of loose feed available to wild birds, rats and mice.
Browse our Chicken Feeders Australia collection to compare feeding options for different backyard flock sizes and poultry setups.
For chicken keepers wanting to help limit access to stored feed by rats, mice and wild birds, the Bainbridge Standard Treadle Chicken Feeder is available in 4kg, 8kg, 12kg and 20kg capacities.
If you prefer a traditional gravity-fed design, our 9kg Galvanised Metal Poultry Feeder provides generous feed capacity with an anti-waste feeding design.
For help choosing between feeder styles, read our Best Chicken Feeders for Backyard Flocks guide.
Automatic access to the chicken run should always be supported by reliable access to clean drinking water.

During hot weather, an automatically opening coop door can help maintain a consistent morning routine, but chickens still require suitable shade, ventilation and continuous access to fresh water.
