Why Choose This LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Dual KPW250 Kit?
This GatePoint Solutions package combines the major components needed to create a dual residential solar gate system with higher-capacity keypad access.
The LA412PKGUL primary system operates one gate leaf and provides the primary control equipment, while the included LA412DCS secondary actuator automates the second gate leaf.
This makes the system particularly useful for traditional dual driveway gates at properties where running conventional electrical service to the entrance may be impractical or expensive.
The solar-focused LA412 platform is especially attractive for:
- Private estates
- Ranch entrances
- Rural residential properties
- Long private driveways
- Gated family compounds
- Multi-residence properties
- Remote residential entrances
- Two-leaf gates located far from utility power
- Properties where trenching AC power would be costly
- Residential entrances intentionally designed around solar operation
Higher-Capacity KPW250 Access Control
The defining access-control feature of this kit is the LiftMaster KPW250 wireless keypad.
With support for up to 250 permanent PINs, the KPW250 provides substantially greater capacity than the KPW5 and makes this package better suited for properties where gate access must be provided to numerous individual users.
Potential users can include:
- Residents
- Family members
- Property managers
- Employees
- Landscapers
- Maintenance personnel
- Contractors
- Caretakers
- Service providers
- Other authorized users
This allows the customer to choose the LA412 solar platform without being limited to a basic low-user-count keypad configuration.
Dual Solar Gate Automation
Because this package includes both the LA412PKGUL and LA412DCS, it is specifically built for entrances with two swing gate leaves.
Both gate leaves become part of the same properly configured LA412 system, giving customers a purpose-built dual solar solution rather than requiring them to piece together the primary and secondary actuator equipment separately.
811LMX Wireless Vehicle Access
Two LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remote controls are included for convenient wireless vehicle access.
Additional compatible transmitters can be added separately for properties requiring more remote users.
828LM Internet Gateway Included
The included LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway provides compatible network connectivity for supported LiftMaster equipment and myQ applications.
The solar system and Internet Gateway perform separate functions: the LA412's solar/battery architecture provides the energy required to operate the gates, while the 828LM provides compatible network connectivity where appropriate Internet/network access is available.
Professional 72" Pedestal
The included GatePoint Solutions 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal provides a dedicated mounting location for the KPW250 at the driveway entrance.
Its in-ground configuration allows the lower portion of the pedestal to be securely installed below grade while positioning the keypad at a practical height and location for vehicle access.
