So, it not an automatic door....
It's a door that closes automatically.

But still, ingeniously simple and works well! ::(|)

Genius idea! So simple and yet so effective. Now I wish I had a sliding door.

Very nice, but won't work on my door, it's bent and got a couple of tight spots. Maybe I'll hang a bucket of rocks and make it into a dog guillotine >:)

#5 The dogs have learned how to get the slider open,but once thru they don't care about closing it behind them. This contraption saves the guy having to constantly go check to see if the door is open.

#7 Yep..you're right. The maker of that video said in the description that he just made it for the dogs, since they know how to open the doors. And when nobody is in the room to close it, wasps and all kind of critters come in. Thats the only reason he made it..cheap and easy sollution imo =)

My uncle made a similar construction with just a spring..but in his case not for dogs..just for his lazy ass out of boredom :D
