Upgrading the Chicken Coop with Worlds First Automatic Locking Door!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The host aligns the door tracks within the wooden frame, ensuring they are squared and evenly spaced. He uses the provided mounting screws to attach the tracks to the wooden frame. After initial installation, he tests the door's movement. Finding it a bit snug, he adjusts the track spacing slightly to allow the door to slide smoothly up and down and lock correctly. He re-tests the door to confirm the automatic locking feature functions as intended.

Goal: This step involves securing the automatic chicken door tracks to the newly built wooden frame, ensuring smooth operation of the door, and testing its locking mechanism.
