Why Choose This LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Dual Solar Gate Kit?
This GatePoint Solutions package takes LiftMaster's LA412 residential solar platform and builds it into a complete dual-gate access solution.
The primary LA412PKGUL provides the control system and primary actuator, while the included LA412DCS secondary actuator automates the second gate leaf. Together, they provide a dedicated solution for residential entrances with two swing gates.
This configuration is particularly valuable at properties where the gate entrance is located a substantial distance from available electrical service. Rather than extending conventional AC power down a long driveway, a properly designed LA412 solar installation can provide an alternative power solution for the entrance.
That makes this kit particularly attractive for:
- Residential estates with dual driveway gates
- Ranch entrances
- Rural residential properties
- Long private driveways
- Remote residential entrances
- Gated homes with two-leaf swing gates
- Properties where extending AC power is difficult
- Locations where trenching electrical service would be expensive
Complete Access-Control Package
This kit goes beyond the primary and secondary gate actuators by including several commonly needed access components.
The KPW5 wireless keypad provides PIN-based entry for authorized users, while the included (2) 811LMX remotes provide convenient vehicle access for regular users.
The 828LM Internet Gateway adds compatible network connectivity for supported LiftMaster/myQ applications.
Finally, the 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal provides a dedicated driveway-side mounting location for the KPW5.

It combines the gate operator equipment required for a compatible dual-gate configuration with several commonly used access-control components.
Is this kit for one gate or two gates?
This kit is specifically designed for a dual swing gate entrance with two gate leaves.
The LA412PKGUL provides the primary operator system, while the included LA412DCS operates the second gate leaf.
For a single gate leaf, choose the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Single Solar Swing Gate Operator Kit with KPW5.
What is the LA412DCS?
The LiftMaster LA412DCS is the secondary actuator used with compatible LA412 dual swing gate systems.
It operates the second gate leaf and works in conjunction with the LA412PKGUL primary system.
What size gates can the LA412 dual system operate?
The LA412 platform is designed for compatible residential swing gates up to 16 ft. long or 850 lbs. per gate leaf.
Gate dimensions and weight are not the only considerations. Gate construction, hinges, installation geometry, wind loading, hardware, and site conditions should also be evaluated.
Is the LA412 specifically designed for solar gate applications?
Yes. The LA412 is LiftMaster's 12VDC residential solar linear actuator platform and is particularly well suited for installations where conventional electrical power is difficult or expensive to extend to the gate.
Does a dual LA412 system require more solar capacity?
A dual system can have greater energy requirements because it operates two actuator arms instead of one.
Actual solar requirements depend on gate weight, gate length, number of daily cycles, accessory loads, geographic location, available sunlight, battery capacity, temperature, shading, and other site conditions.
Solar capacity should be properly calculated for the individual installation.
Does this kit include the KPW5?
Yes. One LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad is included.
The KPW5 provides PIN-based access and can be mounted to the included GatePoint Solutions 72" pedestal.
What is the difference between the KPW5 and KPW250?
The KPW5 is intended for applications requiring a smaller number of keypad users.
The KPW250 provides significantly greater PIN capacity and is better suited for properties requiring access for more authorized users.
GatePoint Solutions also offers this LA412 Dual Solar Kit with a KPW250.
Why are two 811LMX remotes included?
The included (2) LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remotes provide convenient wireless gate access for regular vehicle users.
Additional compatible remotes can be added separately as needed.
What does the 828LM Internet Gateway do?
The included LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway provides compatible network connectivity for supported LiftMaster equipment and myQ applications.
Available functionality depends on the connected equipment, network availability, configuration, and currently supported LiftMaster services.
Can a solar gate operator still use an Internet Gateway?
Yes. Solar power and network connectivity perform different functions within the system.
The LA412's solar system provides the energy required to operate the gate, while the 828LM provides compatible network connectivity where suitable network access is available.
What is the 72" pedestal used for?
The included GatePoint Solutions 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal provides a professional mounting location for the KPW5 keypad alongside the driveway.
Its in-ground design allows the lower section to be secured below grade while positioning the keypad where it can be conveniently reached from a vehicle.
Is the LA412 dual system good for ranch entrances?
Yes. A dual LA412 system can be particularly attractive for ranch entrances, rural estates, remote residential properties, and long driveways where bringing conventional AC power to the gate may be difficult or expensive.
Proper solar sizing and adequate sunlight remain essential.
What is the difference between the LA412 Single and Dual kits?
The Single kit uses the LA412PKGUL to automate one swing gate leaf.
The Dual kit adds the LA412DCS secondary actuator to automate a second gate leaf.
Both versions can be paired with compatible LiftMaster access-control equipment, but the dual system's solar requirements should account for the energy needed to operate both actuators.
What's the difference between the LA412 and LA400?
The LA412 is centered around 12VDC residential solar gate applications, while the LA400PKGUL is LiftMaster's 24VDC residential linear actuator platform.
For an installation intentionally being designed around solar power, the LA412 is the more purpose-specific platform.
What's the difference between the LA412 and LA500?
The LA412 focuses primarily on residential solar swing gate applications.
The LA500 is a heavier-duty residential/light-commercial linear actuator platform for larger and more demanding gates.
Operator selection should account for gate dimensions, weight, construction, expected usage, wind loading, power availability, and site conditions.
Does this kit include all required safety devices?
The kit includes the equipment specifically listed under What's Included. Depending on the gate configuration and identified entrapment zones, additional monitored entrapment protection devices may be required.
Dual swing gates can create multiple potential entrapment areas. Installers should follow current LiftMaster documentation, UL 325 requirements, local codes, and other applicable standards when designing the safety system.
