What happens here

Inside the chicken coop, the creator removes the existing string and hooks used to operate the sliding door. He then uses a drill to install the screen door tension rollers (pulleys) in strategic locations along the door's path. After installing the pulleys, he takes a block of wax and rubs it along the entire length of the string that operates the door. This lubrication helps the string slide more easily through the newly installed pulleys and existing tabs, reducing friction and making the door operation much smoother and more efficient.

Goal: Enhance the chicken coop door's smooth operation.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Drilling holes and securing fasteners
  • Screen Door Tension Rollers — To create a pulley system for the sliding door
  • Screws — Securing the pulleys to the wood frame
  • Wax — Lubricating the pull string

What they say

Hide

to climb into the chicken coop after I get up here you can tell me all right so I'm untying my knots here I'm going to pull my string back through take off my little hooks and put in my uh little pulley system hopefully it'll work good I think it will so the string up here is looped through all these little tabs I'm going to take some wax and I'm going to rub it on the string and hopefully lubricate the string so that it will uh slide through those little tabs better and also these are our little rollers that we installed just now and it makes things run a whole lot smoother than before so what I'm going to do is take this wax and I'm going to rub it on my string just just like you would do on a on a bow like a bow and arrow bow we'll wax our string up so that it slides much better much more
