Can one purchase ready made starling resistant door panels for a T-14?

The entrances on the panels I made aren't working and I don't have time to make more before my window of opportunity is gone.

Let me know if there are some available for purchase. Also, I will pay a premium for someone to make some for me if that is of interest to anyone

Thanks!

Hi Phillip.
You may have already considered this, but you could open up your existing entrances a bit, and attach some Excluder or Excluder II plates.

Here are the plates:

Phillip;

I purchased starling resistant entrance plates for my new T-14.

I cut the entrance holes out about 3 x 4 per recommendations from people who know and then simply screw the SREH plates over the larger holes. This method works out fine, then you can also change entrance holes if you like.

Good Luck.
