VSD Door Kit for Handy Hen House

Our old VSD door openers decided to misbehave days before we were due to go on holiday and leave the hens in the care of our neighbours. So I was desperate for a fix or replacement. I called FSF who went out of the way to resolve the problem over the phone but in the end I had to order a replacement. Thankfully it arrived the very next day. Great service all round

Does as it says, 1st class

I ordered this together with the coop. It really works flawlessly and the hens got used to it quickly.

This is the third hen house we’ve purchased from flytsofancy.
From my initial call to the delivery a few days later they have been refreshingly helpful and efficient! The house itself is beautifully crafted and our hens love it!

We have used these for years...most of the parts are replaceable and the door closer/opener works really well.

I have used this company for many years and have always been delighted with the prompt service. Highly recommended

Works brilliantly and was very easy to fit if you watch the video.

My second after 6 years of auto up and down. Reliable and well built, the new model has great improvements.

I have had 2 of these door openers in the past and they are really reliable. Chickens you know are going to be let out and shut away safely and so I have brought another one.

Brilliant product. Had some (Day 1) issues with the Reset procedure - needed after you force-open/close the door with the magnet making the VSD stay overriden until released by a reset.
Help from Dan sorted me out and all is now hunky dory.

Despite having my VSb / timer set up serviced at the end of last year it recently gave up all together so I returned it for a final diagnosis & for it to receive the last rites !! After speaking to Dan, a new VSd unit was fitted & the complete set up returned to me the following day where, so far, it has been working perfectly so no more funny looks from my chooks as I stand in front of them in my dressing gown & slippers after letting them out every morning !! Many thanks to Dan & his team for the excellent service once again, highly recommended.

My second one after 10 years, and after fixing the new one very easily I found a problem because the clock (optional attachment) had reset itself to permanently open. It must be set to close for a period before the door will work. Anne gave brilliant support and helped stop that being a problem. Very happy hens and owner!

A new auto opener / closer with the new Maggies Six. Have had an earlier version for many years and it has worked pretty well despite being mounted outside the hutch and subjected to Welsh mountain weather. This one is inside which should give it a lot more protection, but does mean that it is less easy to get at to change batteries etc.

I have found this automatic door opener essential for keeping my hens safely shut away from harm and have received outstanding support from Flyte So Fancy keeping my units running over the years. It means the hens are let out earlier and shut safely away if we are not at home to do so.

This is the second unit and it’s predecessor lastest 11 years!

After my VSB opener stopped working after about 10 years, ordered this and it arrived the next day.
Easy to fit, could do with a small length of cotton to attach between the end of the reel and the door but I used a spare piece I had. Worked straight away

Chucks not arrived yet but it works well under test

Simple to setup, does the job it’s employed to do!

Great company to deal with, products reliably good and easy communication

This is the third auto pop opener I’ve had, always fit one when getting a new hen house, and am very happy to recommend them. It keeps the hens happy as they get into the regular routine of it opening in the morning and closing in the evening. It keeps me happy as I don’t need to rush out first thing in the mornings to let them out and even better as there is no need to rush home in the evening to shut them in. They are cosy and safely tucked away from Mr Fox.

Works really well so far!

Had two of the previous design …one lasted a good 12 years ..the other 6 years.
This new slimmer model has exactly the same screw holes which made fixing easy.
All working well straight out of box. This one is expected to have a longer battery life …the old ones used to last a year on a Dorset Ranger coop with a wooden door

Good product easy to fit, quick delivery. 2 sets of instructions, one said it didn’t matter which wires went to which pin, and these were the ones followed, connected as photograph. Turns out it does matter on reading second set of instructions, which I did after door failing to work.
Also light sensor cover missing, but doesn’t seem to matter. Works fine, not sure about battery life, and if you get any warning of imminent failure yet.

so helpful Anne answered all my questions. perfect, thank you for fitting it to my handy

The staff was very helpful and the make of the chicken house and run are excellent. They can accommodate the design to what you want. And the delivery was very quick too. The staff was very patience with me as I took awhile to make my mind up with which chicken house!! Brilliant .. I don't to worry shutting thehickens up at night

Really efficient service.
Well built house
Really pleased so far Wasn’t sure it was work but tested it with a dark cover and the door came down. I recommend getting it fitted at the purchase stage (with House purchase).

Always a pleasure doing business with this company. Their customer service is first class. This was installed as I ordered it at the same time as the coop - best way to do it. Wouldn’t be without it. Chicks don’t have to wait for me to get up before they can get out into their run.

Excellent service. Chicken coop arrived on the specified date and we assembled it in 30 minutes. Everything went together beautifully and my girls are loving their new home! Thanks! Works well. Will keep the fix at bay

Love the products but only 2 criticisms. I ordered a few items so no clear explanation of which part belonged to which so we mixed up a couple of the Rooves! Also no warning that all would arrive on a pallett & the driver wouldn't unpack or site the large heavy chicken coup for me which caused a few issues. Would have also liked a time frame for delivery as had to wait in all day works well/ shame it covers window

Great service as always from Flyte So Fancy. Always the first place I look for chicken stuff.

Good quality products and excellent customer service nothing too much trouble. This great chickens are shut up at night when it gets dark and let out in the morning when it is light.
