LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Swing Gate Operator
The heart of this package is the LiftMaster LA500PKGUL, a linear actuator swing gate operator engineered for reliable residential and light commercial vehicular gate automation.
The LA500 platform provides smooth gate movement, 24VDC operation, battery backup capability, monitored entrapment protection compatibility, and support for modern access-control applications. Its linear actuator design makes it particularly well suited for single swing gates where dependable daily operation and a clean installation are priorities.
KPW5 Wireless Keypad
The included LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad provides convenient PIN-based gate access without requiring control wiring between the keypad and gate operator.
It provides a practical access solution for homeowners, family members, employees, service providers, and other authorized users while integrating with compatible LiftMaster gate operator systems.
Two 811LMX Remote Controls
Two LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remote controls are included for convenient wireless gate operation from compatible vehicles or locations.
Including two remotes makes this kit particularly useful for residential and small-property applications where multiple drivers require convenient access to the automated gate.
828LM Internet Gateway
The included LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway adds compatible network connectivity to the system, allowing supported LiftMaster equipment to integrate with applicable connected-access functionality.
This gives the LA500 installation an additional connectivity option beyond traditional keypad and remote-control access.
72" In-Ground Gooseneck Pedestal
A GatePoint Solutions 72-inch in-ground gooseneck pedestal is included for mounting the KPW5 keypad at the gate entrance.
The in-ground design provides a clean, permanent mounting solution and positions the access-control keypad for convenient use by approaching vehicles.
Ideal Applications
This LiftMaster LA500 complete kit is an excellent choice for:
- Residential driveway swing gates
- Private estate entrances
- HOA and community entrances
- Gated residential properties
- Small commercial properties
- Single-leaf vehicular swing gates
- Properties requiring keypad and remote access
Single Gate Configuration
This package is designed around a single LA500 swing gate operator configuration.
For properties with two opposing swing gate leaves, a secondary actuator is required. GatePoint Solutions also offers a LiftMaster LA500 dual swing gate operator package and complete dual LA500 kits for those applications.
Do not purchase an additional complete primary operator simply to automate the second gate leaf. Compatible dual LA500 configurations use an LA500DCS secondary actuator with the primary LA500 system.
Safety Equipment & Installation
Automatic vehicular gates require properly selected monitored entrapment protection and professional installation in accordance with the operator manufacturer's instructions and applicable UL 325 requirements.
The exact safety devices and installation materials required depend on the gate layout and application. Additional photo eyes, safety edges, vehicle detection equipment, mounting hardware, wiring, conduit, and other installation components may be required and are not included unless specifically listed above.
Why Buy the LA500 Complete Kit?
Rather than purchasing the gate operator, keypad, remotes, connectivity equipment, and pedestal separately, this GatePoint Solutions package combines commonly used LA500 system components into one convenient kit.
It provides a strong starting point for a complete single swing gate installation while still allowing the system to be expanded with additional LiftMaster access controls, monitored safety devices, vehicle detection equipment, solar components, and LA500 replacement parts as needed.

LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Frequently Asked Questions
What size gate can the LiftMaster LA500 operate?
The LiftMaster LA500 is designed for compatible vehicular swing gates up to 18 ft. long and 1,600 lbs., depending on the gate configuration. Proper gate construction, hinge condition, installation geometry, hardware, and site conditions are important when selecting and installing a swing gate operator.
Is the LiftMaster LA500PKGUL a residential or commercial gate operator?
The LA500PKGUL is designed for residential and light commercial swing gate applications. It is commonly used for residential estates, gated communities, HOAs, apartment and condominium properties, and light commercial controlled entrances.
Does the LiftMaster LA500 include battery backup?
Yes. The LA500 platform features battery-backed 24VDC operation, allowing the gate operator to continue functioning during many AC power interruptions. Actual backup performance depends on battery condition, gate size and weight, accessory loads, temperature, and frequency of operation.
Can the LiftMaster LA500 be powered by solar?
Yes. The LiftMaster LA500 is solar capable when configured with compatible LiftMaster solar equipment. Proper solar system sizing depends on geographic location, available sunlight, gate usage, accessory power requirements, battery capacity, and installation conditions.
Does the LiftMaster LA500 work with myQ?
Yes. The LA500 platform supports myQ® technology and compatible LiftMaster connectivity and access-control solutions for supported monitoring and control applications.
Can the LiftMaster LA500 operate a dual swing gate?
Yes. A compatible LA500 system can be configured for dual swing gate operation using the LiftMaster LA500DCS secondary actuator. The LA500DCS operates the second gate leaf while working with the primary LA500 operator and control system.
Customers who need both actuators can also choose a LiftMaster LA500 dual swing gate operator package rather than purchasing the components separately.
What is the LiftMaster LA500DCS?
The LiftMaster LA500DCS is the secondary 24VDC actuator used with compatible LA500 systems to automate the second gate leaf in a dual swing gate installation. It can also be used as a replacement for an existing LA500DCS secondary actuator.
The LA500DCS is not a complete standalone gate operator and requires a compatible LA500 primary operator and control system.
What safety devices are required for a LiftMaster LA500?
An LA500 installation must use appropriate monitored entrapment protection devices based on the gate configuration and potential entrapment zones. Requirements vary by installation, and installers should follow the current LiftMaster installation manual and applicable UL 325 requirements when selecting and positioning safety devices.
