LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Complete Dual Swing Gate Operator Kit
The LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Dual Swing Gate Operator Kit from GatePoint Solutions combines a LiftMaster LA500 primary swing gate operator system with the LA500DCS secondary actuator and essential access control equipment to create a comprehensive package for automating dual-leaf vehicular swing gates.
Designed for residential properties, estates, gated communities, HOA entrances, and light commercial applications, this package provides synchronized operation of two swing gate leaves using LiftMaster's 24VDC LA500 platform.
In addition to the primary and secondary LA500 actuators, GatePoint Solutions includes a LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad, two 811LMX single-button remotes, an 828LM Internet Gateway, and a 72-inch in-ground gooseneck pedestal. This creates a convenient dual-gate package with keypad access, vehicle remotes, connectivity equipment, and a dedicated pedestal for mounting the keypad.
What's Included
This GatePoint Solutions LA500 dual swing gate kit includes:
- (1) LiftMaster LA500PKGUL 24VDC Primary Swing Gate Operator Package
- (1) LiftMaster LA500DCS 24VDC Secondary Actuator Arm
- (1) LiftMaster KPW5 Wireless Keypad

Complete LA500 Dual Gate Configuration
Unlike a single-gate LA500 package, this kit includes the LA500DCS secondary actuator required to automate the second gate leaf.
The LA500PKGUL serves as the primary operator system, while the LA500DCS operates the second gate leaf. Together, they provide coordinated operation for compatible dual swing gate installations.
This makes the package an excellent solution for properties with two opposing swing gate leaves where both gates need to open and close as part of the same automated entrance.
LiftMaster LA500 24VDC Platform
The LiftMaster LA500 platform is designed to provide dependable linear actuator operation for residential and light commercial vehicular swing gates.
Its 24VDC architecture provides smooth gate movement, battery-backed operation, monitored entrapment protection compatibility, and integration with compatible LiftMaster access-control equipment.
The LA500's linear actuator design is well suited for applications requiring a durable, professional swing gate automation system without the larger footprint associated with traditional pad-mounted swing gate operators.
KPW5 Wireless Keypad
The included LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad provides convenient PIN-based access for authorized users without requiring control wiring between the keypad and compatible operator.
It is an excellent access option for residential properties, gated communities, employees, service providers, guests, and other authorized users.
Two LiftMaster 811LMX Remotes
This package includes two LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remote controls, providing convenient wireless gate access from compatible vehicles.
The included remotes complement the KPW5 keypad by providing regular users with fast gate access while allowing visitors or other authorized users to enter through the keypad.
LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway
The included LiftMaster 828LM Internet Gateway provides compatible network connectivity for supported LiftMaster equipment and applicable connected-access functionality.
This adds another layer of convenience to the LA500 system beyond traditional keypad and remote-control operation.
72" In-Ground Gooseneck Pedestal
A GatePoint Solutions 72-inch in-ground gooseneck pedestal is included for mounting the KPW5 keypad near the vehicle entrance.
Its in-ground configuration provides a permanent access-control mounting solution and positions the keypad for convenient use by approaching drivers.
Ideal Applications
The LiftMaster LA500 dual complete kit is well suited for:
- Dual residential driveway gates
- Private estate entrances
- Gated communities
- HOA entrances
- Multi-family properties
- Light commercial entrances
- Dual-leaf vehicular swing gates
- Properties requiring keypad and remote access
Dual vs. Single LA500 Systems
This package is specifically configured for a dual-leaf swing gate and includes both the primary LA500 operator system and LA500DCS secondary actuator.
For an installation with only one swing gate leaf, GatePoint Solutions also offers a LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Single Swing Gate Operator Kit without the additional LA500DCS secondary actuator.
Choosing the correct configuration prevents purchasing unnecessary equipment and ensures the operator package matches the physical gate layout.
Safety Equipment & Installation
Automatic vehicular gate systems require properly selected monitored entrapment protection and installation according to LiftMaster instructions and applicable UL 325 requirements.
Dual gates may require additional monitored safety devices based on the layout and potential entrapment zones.
Photo eyes, safety edges, vehicle detection equipment, loop detectors, wiring, conduit, mounting hardware, and other installation materials may be required and are not included unless specifically listed above.
Why Choose the LA500 Dual Complete Kit?
Building a dual swing gate system component-by-component can make it easy to overlook access-control or secondary operator equipment.
This GatePoint Solutions package combines the LA500PKGUL primary operator, LA500DCS secondary actuator, wireless keypad, two remotes, Internet Gateway, and pedestal into one convenient package.
The result is a strong foundation for a professionally installed dual LA500 gate system while still allowing the installation to be expanded with additional LiftMaster access controls, monitored safety devices, vehicle detection equipment, solar equipment, and LA500 replacement parts.

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.
