Ordering Options The ordering options for the LiftMaster residential gate opener series involve selecting your desired frequency and the size of the control box. The standard box measures 14" x 10" x 6," whereas the larger upgraded box measures 20" x 17" x 6." There are two options:
- Standard Box: Comes with the standard control box.

- 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.
- ELECTRONIC LIMIT SWITCHES - Set the limit switches with just the push of a button for accurate, easy setup.
- ON BOARD RADIO RECEIVER - It is compatible with a number of wireless remotes and allows operation of a number of devices with one remote - such as the garage door and the gate opener.
- INPUT TERMINALS - For convenient addition of accessories requiring like loops, sensing devices and controlling devices.
- QUICK, SAFE AND SECURE MANUAL RELEASE - The LA-412 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.

Words from Senior Application Engineer Anthony Geato | Top of Page |
“The LiftMaster LA412 and LA412 single solar gate openers are rated up to 850 pounds or gates up to 16 feet in length. The LA412 kits come with your choice of control board enclosures, a 10 watt solar panel, and your choice of transmitters. LiftMaster gives the LA412 a 2 year warranty. The LA412 has a lockable release that allows you to unlock the arm, so you can manually open your gate. The motor on the LiftMaster LA412 is about 2 and 1/4 inches in diameter and about 4 inches long. The worm drive gear transmission is made up of stainless steel and brass gears. The gear transmission spins a shaft that both controls the screw drive as well as the limit switch system. This shaft is riding on sealed ball bearings. This gate opener has an additional limit switch that tells the gate opener, that the gate has been unlocked. This is a well made gate opener, with the only exception being that the limit switches are electric and not magnetic. This type of limit switch is prone to contamination and may need to be replaced at some point in time. The LiftMaster LA412 has the option of two different control board enclosures. Each control board enclosure contains the same LiftMaster control board. The control board on the LA412 and LA412 has all of the necessary plugins for any accessories you wish to add to your gate opener. These can include exit wands, exit loops, edge devices, various safety devices, and locks. One down side of this control board is that it is very complex. The larger control board enclosure, is made to hold a larger battery that you must provide. One downside of this box is that it does not hold a larger group size 24 deep cycle marine battery in this box. A battery of this size will be beneficial to you if live in an area that does not get a lot of sunlight for some periods of time. The standard control board enclosure comes complete with 2 batteries. When you order from GateCrafters.com, you have the choice to choose the transmitters. Gate Crafters includes 2 transmitters of your choice, you can either receive LiftMaster transmitters or you can choose the Estate Swing transmitters. When you choose the Estate Swing transmitters you will receive an addition receiver. A couple positives of the Estate Swing transmitters is that we have successfully tested them up to ranges of 1400 feet, they are less expensive than the LiftMaster transmitters, and you will be able to use the Estate Swing wireless key pads as well. Gate Crafters was started in 2002 with the goal of providing our customers with high quality gate openers. Our experts know gate opener inside and out and will be able to answer any questions you may have. We have technical support available 7 days a week from 9 am to 9 pm, eastern time. So please give us a call, send us an email, or use our live chat on our website, we are more welcome to answer any question you may have.” |
| "I bought my LiftMaster/Chamberlain LA412 in April 2013. I have waited a year to write about it because I wanted to be sure it was a good buy. I couldn't be happier! Installation took me just a couple hours because my gate and posts were already in place. I highly recommend reading the manual from front to back in a comfortable chair before starting. It helped to highlight instructions and pages that were specific to my gate. The gate works perfectly and quietly, every time. The solar charge has lasted me more than 40 openings and closings in a single day, and I'm sure it would go many more if I ever had the need. If you have sun, solar is the way to go!" -Scott A. from Riverside, CA
"I was very impressed by the quality of the the gate construction and hinges. Equally, installation of the LiftMaster opener was clean and straightforward. After the posts were set, the entire installation took about a half day with the help of a friend. My wife loves it… no more getting in an out of the car! Thanks."
-Greg P. from Alpine, CA
"We bought this gate opener system (LiftMaster / Chamberlain LA-412 Single Swing Solar Gate Opener with solar panel - with Standard Box) in September. It took me so long to install the system because I hurt my back at work. I had my friend help me install the system. I had to install the solar panel about 250 ft away from the gate. I used 12 gauge stranded copper wire. I installed push buttons (door bell buttons) for visitors and emergency personal. The installation was easier than I thought it was going to be." -Raina D. from Washington
