Why Choose This LiftMaster LA412PKGUL KPW250 Solar Gate Kit?
This GatePoint Solutions package combines the LiftMaster LA412 solar swing gate operator with a higher-capacity wireless access-control setup, making it particularly attractive for residential properties where more users need individual PIN-based gate access.
At the center of the system is the LA412PKGUL, LiftMaster's 12VDC residential solar linear actuator platform. Its solar-focused design makes it especially useful for gate entrances located far from conventional electrical service.
For long driveways, ranch entrances, rural homes, estates, and remote residential gates, a properly designed solar system can reduce or eliminate the need to trench and extend AC electrical service to the gate location.
Higher-Capacity Access with the KPW250
The major upgrade in this package is the LiftMaster KPW250 wireless keypad.
With support for up to 250 permanent PINs, the KPW250 provides substantially greater user capacity than the KPW5 and is well suited for properties requiring access for:
- Family members
- Residents
- Property staff
- Maintenance personnel
- Landscapers
- Contractors
- Service providers
- Caretakers
- Other authorized users
This makes the KPW250 version particularly useful for large estates, multi-residence properties, ranches, gated family properties, and other entrances where access requirements extend beyond a handful of users.
Wireless Vehicle Access
The included (2) LiftMaster 811LMX remotes provide convenient single-button vehicle access for regular users.
Additional compatible LiftMaster transmitters can be added separately when more vehicles or users require remote access.
828LM Internet Gateway Included
The included LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway provides compatible network connectivity for supported LiftMaster equipment and myQ applications.
Solar power and network connectivity perform separate functions within the system: the LA412 solar architecture powers gate operation, while the 828LM provides supported network connectivity where an appropriate network connection is available.
Professional 72" Keypad Pedestal
The included GatePoint Solutions 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal provides a dedicated mounting location for the KPW250 alongside the driveway.
Its in-ground configuration allows the lower section to be securely installed below grade while positioning the keypad for convenient driver access.

This package includes the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL single solar swing gate operator package, KPW250 wireless keypad, two 811LMX remotes, 828LM Internet Gateway, and GatePoint Solutions 72" in-ground pedestal.
It combines the primary gate automation and higher-capacity access-control components into one residential solar gate package.
Is this kit for a single or dual swing gate?
This kit is designed for a single swing gate with one gate leaf.
For an entrance with two swing gate leaves, choose the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Dual Solar Swing Gate Operator Kit with KPW250, (2) 811LMX, 828LM & 72" Pedestal.
What size gate can the LA412PKGUL operate?
The LA412 platform is designed for compatible residential swing gates up to 16 ft. long or 850 lbs.
Gate construction, hinge condition, installation geometry, wind loading, hardware, and other site conditions should also be considered when determining operator suitability.
What is the KPW250?
The LiftMaster KPW250 is a higher-capacity wireless keypad designed for compatible LiftMaster access systems.
It provides PIN-based gate access and supports up to 250 permanent PINs, making it useful for residential properties where many authorized users require individual access.
What's the difference between the KPW5 and KPW250 LA412 kits?
The primary difference is keypad user capacity.
The KPW5 is intended for simpler residential applications requiring fewer keypad users.
The KPW250 supports up to 250 permanent PINs, making this version more appropriate for larger estates, multi-residence properties, ranches, gated family compounds, and other entrances with more extensive access requirements.
The underlying LA412PKGUL solar gate operator remains the same.
Does the KPW250 require control wiring back to the LA412?
The KPW250 is designed as a wireless keypad for compatible LiftMaster systems, helping reduce the need for traditional control wiring between the keypad location and compatible gate operator.
Installation and power requirements should follow current LiftMaster instructions.
Why are two 811LMX remotes included?
The included (2) LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remotes provide convenient wireless vehicle access for regular users.
Additional compatible transmitters can be purchased separately if more users require remote access.
What does the 828LM Internet Gateway do?
The LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway provides network connectivity for supported LiftMaster equipment and compatible myQ applications.
Available functionality depends on the connected equipment, network configuration, Internet availability, and currently supported LiftMaster services.
Can the 828LM be used even though the gate operator is solar powered?
Yes. The gate's power source and network connectivity are separate considerations.
The LA412 uses its solar/battery system for gate operation, while the 828LM provides compatible network connectivity where appropriate 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 KPW250 at the driveway entrance.
Its in-ground design allows the lower portion to be secured below grade while positioning the keypad where drivers can conveniently reach it.
Is the LA412 a good choice for long driveways?
Yes. One of the primary advantages of a solar gate operator is its usefulness at entrances located far from existing electrical service.
The LA412 can be particularly attractive for long residential driveways, ranch entrances, rural properties, private estates, and remote gate locations where trenching AC power to the entrance could be difficult or costly.
How much solar capacity does the LA412 need?
Solar requirements depend on the specific installation.
Factors include geographic location, available sunlight, panel orientation, shading, gate size and weight, number of daily cycles, accessory loads, battery capacity, temperature, and other site conditions.
The solar charging system should be sized for the actual installation.
Can I make this a dual gate system later?
A compatible LA412 installation can be configured for dual swing gate operation by adding the appropriate LA412DCS secondary actuator and properly configuring the system.
If the property already has two gate leaves, purchasing the dedicated LA412 Dual Solar Swing Gate Operator Kit from the beginning is the cleaner option.
What's the difference between the LA412 and LA400?
The LA412 is centered around 12VDC residential solar swing gate applications, while the LA400PKGUL is LiftMaster's 24VDC residential linear actuator platform.
For a residential entrance specifically being designed around solar power, the LA412 is the more purpose-focused choice.
What's the difference between the LA412 and LA500?
The LA412 is designed primarily for residential solar swing gate applications.
The LA500 is a heavier-duty residential/light-commercial linear actuator platform designed for larger and more demanding gate applications.
Gate dimensions, weight, construction, expected usage, wind loading, power availability, and site conditions should all be considered when selecting an operator.
Does this kit include all required safety devices?
The package includes the components specifically listed under What's Included. Additional monitored entrapment protection devices may be required depending on the gate configuration and identified entrapment zones.
Installers should follow current LiftMaster documentation, applicable UL 325 requirements, local codes, and other applicable standards when designing and installing the gate system.
