Why Choose This LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Solar Gate Operator Kit?
This GatePoint Solutions package is designed for customers who want more than just a basic solar gate operator.
Instead of purchasing the operator, wireless keypad, remotes, connectivity equipment, and pedestal separately, this kit combines the major gate automation and access-control components into a single package centered around the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL residential solar swing gate operator.
The LA412's 12VDC solar-focused platform makes it particularly useful for entrances located far from conventional electrical service. For properties with long driveways, rural entrances, ranch gates, or other remote gate locations, solar power can eliminate or reduce the need to trench and extend AC electrical service to the gate.
Convenient PIN Access with the KPW5
The included LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad provides PIN-based gate access for authorized users.
Its wireless communication capability helps simplify compatible installations by reducing the need for control wiring between the keypad location and gate operator.
Mounted on the included 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal, the KPW5 can be positioned alongside the driveway for convenient access from a vehicle.
Two 811LMX Remotes Included
The kit also includes two LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remote controls, providing convenient wireless gate access for regular vehicle users.
Additional compatible transmitters can be added separately when more users require remote access.
828LM Internet Gateway Included
The included LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway provides compatible network connectivity for supported LiftMaster and myQ applications.
This adds another layer of connectivity to the package while keeping the primary gate operator installation centered around the LA412 solar platform.

LiftMaster LA412PKGUL Kit Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with this LA412PKGUL solar gate operator kit?
This GatePoint Solutions kit includes the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL single solar swing gate operator package, KPW5 wireless keypad, two 811LMX remote controls, 828LM Internet Gateway, and GatePoint Solutions 72" in-ground pedestal.
It combines the primary gate automation and access-control components into one residential solar gate package.
Is this kit for a single or dual swing gate?
This particular 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 KPW5, (2) 811LMX, 828LM & 72" Pedestal.
What size gate can the LiftMaster LA412PKGUL operate?
The LA412 platform is designed for compatible residential swing gates up to 16 ft. long or 850 lbs.
Gate construction, hinges, installation geometry, wind loading, hardware, and site conditions must also be evaluated when determining whether the LA412 is appropriate for an installation.
Is the LA412 designed specifically for solar gate applications?
Yes. The LA412 is LiftMaster's 12VDC residential solar linear actuator platform, making it particularly attractive for residential entrances being designed around solar power.
It is well suited for gates located where extending conventional electrical service may be difficult, costly, or impractical.
Does this kit include the KPW5 wireless keypad?
Yes. One LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad is included.
The KPW5 provides PIN-based wireless gate access for compatible LiftMaster systems and can be mounted on the included 72" pedestal.
What is the difference between the KPW5 and KPW250?
The KPW5 is intended for residential applications requiring a smaller number of keypad users.
The KPW250 provides substantially greater PIN capacity and is better suited for properties requiring access for a larger number of authorized users.
GatePoint Solutions also offers this LA412 solar gate operator kit in a KPW250 configuration.
Why are two 811LMX remotes included?
The included (2) LiftMaster 811LMX remotes provide convenient wireless gate access for regular vehicle users.
Additional compatible remotes can be purchased separately if more users require transmitter access.
What does the 828LM Internet Gateway do?
The included 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.
Why include an Internet Gateway with a solar gate operator?
Solar power and Internet connectivity address two different parts of the gate system.
The LA412 solar platform provides the gate's power architecture, while the 828LM provides compatible network connectivity for supported LiftMaster applications. A property can therefore use a solar-powered gate operator while still having network connectivity available at or near the property.
What is the 72" in-ground pedestal used for?
The included GatePoint Solutions 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal provides a dedicated mounting location for the KPW5 wireless keypad near the driveway entrance.
Its in-ground design allows the lower portion of the pedestal to be secured below grade while positioning the keypad where it can be conveniently reached from a vehicle.
Is the LA412 good for ranch and rural entrances?
Yes. The LA412 is particularly attractive for ranch entrances, rural properties, private estates, long driveways, and remote residential gates because its solar-focused architecture can reduce the need to extend conventional electrical service to the gate location.
Proper solar exposure and system sizing are still required.
How much solar capacity does an LA412 installation need?
Solar requirements vary by installation.
Important factors include geographic location, available sunlight, solar-panel orientation, gate size and weight, daily gate cycles, battery capacity, accessory loads, temperature, and shading.
The solar system should be properly sized for the actual installation rather than assuming one configuration is appropriate for every property.
Can this LA412 system be converted to a dual gate later?
A compatible LA412 system can be configured for dual swing gate operation using the appropriate LA412DCS secondary actuator and required system configuration.
Customers who already know they are automating two gate leaves should choose one of GatePoint Solutions' LA412 Dual Solar Swing Gate Operator Packages or Kits.
What's the difference between the LA412 and LA400?
The LA412 is centered around 12VDC residential solar gate applications.
The LA400PKGUL is LiftMaster's 24VDC residential linear actuator platform.
For an entrance specifically being designed around solar power, the LA412 provides the more purpose-focused option.
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 intended for larger and more demanding gate applications.
Gate dimensions, weight, construction, expected cycles, wind loading, power availability, and site conditions should all be considered when selecting an operator.
Does this kit include all required safety devices?
The kit 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 installation instructions, applicable UL 325 requirements, local codes, and other applicable standards when designing and installing the gate system.
