LiftMaster LA400PKGUL 24VDC Residential Dual Swing Gate Operator Package
The LiftMaster LA400PKGUL 24VDC Residential Dual Swing Gate Operator Package is a professional-grade dual gate automation solution designed for residential entrances with two swing gate leaves. This package combines the LiftMaster LA400PKGUL primary operator system with a compatible secondary LA400 actuator, providing coordinated operation of both gate leaves from a single control system.
Built around LiftMaster’s proven 24VDC residential linear actuator platform, the LA400 dual system is an excellent choice for residential driveways, private estates, gated properties, ranch entrances, and other controlled-access locations requiring dependable automation of a dual swing gate.
The LA400 platform is designed for compatible residential swing gates up to 16 ft. long or 850 lbs. per gate leaf, subject to proper gate construction, installation geometry, hardware, and site conditions. Its linear actuator design provides smooth, controlled gate movement, while soft start and soft stop operation helps reduce unnecessary stress on hinges, gate hardware, and operator components.
Integrated battery backup helps maintain gate operation during many AC power interruptions, while myQ® technology and Security+ 2.0® provide compatibility with supported LiftMaster connectivity and encrypted wireless access-control solutions.
For dual-gate applications, the LA400 platform supports wireless dual-gate communication and sequencing capabilities for installations where coordinated movement of the two gate leaves is required. The system also supports monitored entrapment protection devices and compatible LiftMaster access-control equipment for a professionally configured residential entrance.

Why Choose the LiftMaster LA400PKGUL Dual?
The LiftMaster LA400PKGUL Dual Swing Gate Operator Package is designed for residential properties that require professional automation of a two-leaf swing gate entrance.
Instead of using two unrelated gate opener systems, the LA400 dual configuration creates an integrated system in which a primary LA400 operator and secondary actuator work together to control both gate leaves. This provides coordinated operation while maintaining the battery backup, smart-access compatibility, safety capabilities, and professional construction of the LA400 platform.
For properties with overlapping gate leaves or other installations requiring specific opening and closing sequences, Bi-Part Delay helps coordinate the two actuators so the gate leaves operate in the appropriate order.
Wireless dual-gate communication also simplifies compatible installations by reducing the need to trench communication wiring across the driveway between gate operators.
The LA400's combination of 24VDC operation, battery backup, smooth start/stop, myQ® technology, Security+ 2.0®, dual-gate functionality, and monitored safety-device compatibility makes it a strong choice for residential estates, private driveways, gated homes, ranch entrances, and other professionally installed dual swing gate systems.
LiftMaster LA400PKGUL Dual Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the LiftMaster LA400PKGUL Dual package?
This dual package includes the LiftMaster LA400PKGUL primary operator system and a compatible LA400 secondary actuator arm for the second gate leaf.
The primary LA400PKGUL provides the control system and primary actuator, while the secondary actuator allows the system to automate the second leaf of a compatible dual swing gate.
Is this package for a single or dual swing gate?
This package is specifically configured for a dual swing gate with two gate leaves.
Customers with a single gate leaf should choose the LiftMaster LA400PKGUL 24VDC Residential Single Swing Gate Operator Package instead.
What size gates can the LiftMaster LA400 Dual operate?
The LA400 platform is designed for compatible residential swing gates up to 16 ft. long or 850 lbs. per gate leaf.
Gate construction, hinge condition, installation geometry, wind loading, gate hardware, and other site-specific factors must also be considered when determining whether the LA400 is appropriate for a particular installation.
Is the LiftMaster LA400 a residential or commercial gate operator?
The LA400 is primarily designed as a residential swing gate operator. It is well suited for private driveways, residential estates, gated homes, ranch entrances, and other residential controlled-access applications.
For larger, heavier, or more demanding residential and light commercial swing gate applications, consider the LiftMaster LA500PKGUL platform.
How do the two LA400 actuators work together?
The primary LA400 operator provides the control system for the gate installation, while the secondary actuator operates the second gate leaf.
The system coordinates movement of both gate leaves and supports features specifically useful for dual-gate installations, including wireless dual-gate communication and Bi-Part Delay.
What is wireless dual-gate communication?
Wireless dual-gate communication allows compatible LiftMaster gate equipment to communicate across a dual-gate installation without requiring traditional communication wiring to be trenched across the driveway.
This can simplify installation while still allowing the two gate leaves to operate as a coordinated system.
What is Bi-Part Delay?
Bi-Part Delay is useful on dual swing gates where the two gate leaves need to open or close in a particular sequence.
For example, some dual gates overlap when closed. In these applications, one gate leaf may need to close before the other. Bi-Part Delay helps coordinate the actuator timing so the gate leaves operate in the proper sequence.
Does the LiftMaster LA400 Dual have battery backup?
Yes. The LA400 platform uses battery-backed 24VDC operation, allowing the system to continue functioning during many AC power interruptions.
Actual backup performance depends on battery condition, gate size and weight, number of cycles, accessory loads, temperature, and other installation conditions.
Does the LA400 work with LiftMaster myQ?
Yes. The LA400 platform supports myQ® technology for compatible LiftMaster connectivity and access-control applications.
Additional compatible connectivity equipment and an appropriate network connection may be required depending on the desired functionality.
Does the LA400 support LiftMaster wireless keypads and remotes?
Yes. The LA400 supports compatible LiftMaster Security+ 2.0® wireless access devices, including supported remote controls and wireless keypads.
GatePoint Solutions also offers complete LA400 dual gate operator kits that add KPW5 or KPW250 wireless keypads, 811LMX remotes, an 828LM Internet Gateway, and a 72" in-ground pedestal for customers who want a more complete access-control package.
Can the LiftMaster LA400 be solar powered?
The LA400 platform is solar capable when properly configured with compatible equipment.
However, customers specifically looking for a dedicated LiftMaster residential solar linear actuator system should also consider the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL, which is designed around solar-powered residential swing gate applications.
What is the difference between the LiftMaster LA400 and LA500?
The LA400 is primarily designed for residential swing gate applications and is rated for compatible gates up to 16 ft. or 850 lbs. per gate leaf.
The LA500 is the step-up platform for larger and more demanding residential and light commercial applications, with greater gate capacity and a heavier-duty actuator system.
Customers should select the operator based on gate size, weight, construction, expected usage, site conditions, and application requirements rather than simply choosing the larger model.
What safety devices are required for a LiftMaster LA400 dual gate?
Automatic dual swing gate installations require appropriate monitored entrapment protection devices based on the gate configuration and identified entrapment zones.
Because a dual swing gate can create multiple potential entrapment areas, the required safety-device configuration may differ from a single-gate installation.
Installers should follow the current LiftMaster installation manual, applicable UL 325 requirements, local codes, and other applicable safety standards when designing and installing the system.
Where Can I Find the LiftMaster LA400 Manual and Wiring Diagram?
GatePoint Solutions provides applicable LiftMaster LA400 installation manuals, wiring information, product documentation, troubleshooting resources, and technical materials in the Resources section below.
Installers and equipment owners should always reference the current LiftMaster documentation when installing, programming, servicing, or troubleshooting an LA400 gate operator system.
