EasyProtect Automatic Chicken Door – Protecting Your Poultry House

The EasyProtect automatic chicken door from Kerbl reliably opens and closes your poultry house door based on daylight or time. The control unit comes already fitted to the sliding door, making installation especially straightforward. Thanks to the integrated self-locking mechanism, your birds stay protected from nocturnal predators at all times.

The light sensor with a 1-metre cable allows the control unit to be mounted safely indoors, while the delayed light response prevents unwanted opening caused by lightning or brief flashes of brightness. Thanks to its compact design, the door also fits low poultry houses, and it can be run on 230V mains power or batteries – with an optional solar battery set for off-grid use.
