Can I use my own door with an automatic opener, and what weight can it lift?

❓ Can I use my own door with an automatic opener, and what weight can it lift?

✅ Direct Answer: Yes. Any door between 300 g and 1 kg can be driven by the HPS FENCE opener, which covers timber, aluminium and plastic coop doors. Staying inside that range matters: below 300 g the door may not seat closed, and above 1 kg motor load and battery drain rise sharply.

📖 Details: Any door between 300 g and 1 kg can be driven by the HPS FENCE opener, covering timber, aluminium and plastic coop doors. Staying inside the range matters in both directions: below 300 g the door may not seat closed under its own weight, and above 1 kg motor load, current draw and battery drain all rise, which shortens battery life.

📋 Buying note: Weigh the existing door before ordering. It takes a minute and prevents the two most common fitting complaints: a door that will not close and a battery that drains in weeks.
