- Large 24V Motor - It is one of the largest swing gate motors available for any residential estate gate opener. It is capable of handling driveway security gates up to 850 lbs., which is more than many heavily ornamented electric gates weigh.
- Control Board, Easy Read Diagnostics - The LED light diagnostic on the control board permits easy diagnostics of problems or missing connections. This allows efficient repair and swift continuation of normal electric gate operation.
- Soft Start/Soft Stop - Soft start/soft stop is a feature in which the control board, during the set up process, learns where the opening and closing points are for the swing of the gate. Then during normal operation the gate operator automatically slows the motion of the gate to smoothly meet with the gates destination point. This reduces stress on the gate and operator for extended functionality.
- Bi-Part Latch - Designed to allow one gate leaf to begin opening or closing independently for those gates that have overlapping leaves.
- Adjustable Closing Timer - Set your gate to close between 0 and 120 seconds after reaching the full open position.

- Input Terminals - For convenient addition of accessories requiring like loops, sensing devices and controlling devices.
- Quick, Safe and Secure Manual Release - The LA400 operator comes with a manual release key that can be used should the power fail and the backup battery is not charged. This ensures that the driveway gate can be opened without damaging or disconnecting any components.
- Highest Level of Safety - This operator is designed with separate force adjustments for obstructions. If the gate meets an obstruction while it is opening it will reverse to close, and if it is closing it will reverse to open. Additionally, the LA400 is UL 325 Listed.
- Increased Convenience - The built in MyQ system will allow you to open your gate right from your smartphone.

Words from Senior Application Engineer Anthony Geato | Top of Page |
“The LiftMaster LA400 and LA400 Dual plug in gate openers are rated by Gate Crafters for gates between the lengths of 10 and 14 feet. This kit includes your choice of control box enclosure as well as your choice of transmitter. The arm on the LiftMaster LA400 features a lockable release that allows you to unlock the arm and manual operate your gate. The motor on the LA400 is approximately 2 and 1/4 inches in diameter and about 4 inches in length. The worm drive transmission on the LA400 features gears that are made of stainless steel and brass. This transmission spins a shaft that controls both the limit switches and screw drive. The shaft that spins the screw drive rides on sealed ball bearings. This gate opener has 3 limit switches. Two of the limit switches tells the control board when the arm is either in the open or closed position and the 3rd limit switch tells the gate opener when the gate is unlocked. One downside of this type of limit switch, is that they are prone to contamination. At some point in time, these limit switches may need to be replaced due to dirt getting inside of them. The LiftMaster LA400 is available with your choice of control board enclosures. The larger control board enclosure can house a larger battery and is easier to wire. The larger control board enclosure can hold two 12 amp hour batteries, which you provide. The standard control board enclosure comes complete with 2 7 amp hour batteries. Each enclosure comes with the same control board, that has all the necessary plugins for the accessories you wish to use. This control board is compatible with various accessories such as: exit loops, locks, entry devices, safety devices, exit wands, and edge devices. Gate Crafters gives you the option to choose the transmitter that you want. When you order your LiftMaster LA400 from Gate Crafters, you have the option of choosing either LiftMaster transmitters or Estate Swing transmitters. When you choose the Estate Swing transmitters you will be able to easily add on other great inexpensive Estate Swing accessories such as wireless key pads. Also the Estate Swing transmitters are less expensive than the LiftMaster transmitters. We have also successfully tested the Estate Swing transmitters up to 1400 feet away from the receiver.

Loyal Customer Eric S. from Crimmins Construction I bought the opener to install on my one of my costumer's gates that we built for their home. I was a little paranoid when she and her 2 year old son came out and watched the whole setup process. But, to my surprise, this was the first opener I have installed and it took no time at all to get it fully operational. The manual was very easy and it just took a few steps to set it up. It is working great now. Thanks, LiftMaster and the people at Gate Crafters. You made my life easy with the ease of ordering and install.
