Liftmaster LA400 Help for the DIYer - with the maglock

[@philipzaglool3707]

Thanks so much for this video Patrick. I’ve just installed the maglock on my LA 400 and it was impossible without your video. It’s like a top secret procedure according to manufacturer!!

Great vid! Thanks

[@HarryBerberian]

Very helpful, thanks

[@sarahr.8588]

Super helpful. My gate is stopping just short of the maglock; I’m going to try resetting the gate positions as you describe.

[@jdaustin7787]

Thanks for the help---I know and understand about the lift-master help line. this video is exactly what I needed to see

[@artwuttisak8528]

Did you purchase the 24V DC transformer? and possible that you can show how you hooked up the wire to the LA Board.

[@PlebeRF]

Thanks for this Video it was really helpful to complete my system with the Matlock. 🤙

[@PastryChefRL]

what would be the solution to a magnet lock not engaging and locking after 2 years installation? My lock led is orange on the board when closing.

[@gmwelding142]

Thanks a Million buddy. Well explained .

[@JesseStakes]

Excellent video. Can you show 12V wire connection?

[@JordanHazell]

Thanks for posting. helped me out.

[@Ryan8775]

You saved me so much time and $. I have a different lock, but was able to use your concept to get mine to work. Big thanks! FAS-WWP800EXT-ABP

Hi, informative video but how would the wiring scheme work if you are using solar panel to provide power and charge to two 12 v batteries in series. I can only imagine the method you showed cannot work for those with LA 400 but on solar as that would drain the batteries during nights with no supplemental power.

[@JesseStakes]

Will the connections with the brown and yellow wires work the same for 12V? Can’t seem to get maglock work.

Hello fellow Dallas neighbor! I have an LA400 classic system with one of the gates causing a force reversal or something. Any ideas?

[@julianhawkins1]

Really helpful and appreciate some real-world experience you had as i tackle it. Dogs are again dictating the need on my side. Question - you didn't have the 24V plug-in transformer to the left of the LA400 plugged in. I had assumed that was required, but i may be wrong. Do you know what the transformer block is for?

I installed a mag lock like this and started having trouble with it, ended up taking the board out and lift master will not warranty it they said you can not use the accessory power is not sufficient, also after looking at wiring instructions it indicated a added power supply????????

[@JesseStakes]

Aperture will lock with mag lock on its own. When I connect aperture to metal gate, no connection. I live in Grand Prairie, anyone can help with sending wire connection to liftmaster control box?

[@johncchacko4811]

Do you know how to turn on the strobe light when the fire department access the gate

[@Ray-nf9cn]

Also, do the red, white, and black wires from the lock not get used?

[@rajsinghvideo]

+1 to that question. We’re you able to figure it out?

[@Ray-nf9cn]

@@rajsinghvideo No I haven't attempted to install it yet

[@patrickbouldinkm5l143]

Sorry for the delay, did not see a notice. You only use the brown, blue, purple and yellow on that particular lock. You just tie together the blue and purple wires. Then the only wires used on the opener side is brown and yellow from the lock.

[@dentondw]

Thank you...Gig 'Em

[@henry-cwhite1140]

What is the internet app you mentioned in the video? How do I get it?

[@Ray-nf9cn]

Did you have to extend the wires of your mag lock? The one I have only has 6ft of wire

[@patrickbouldinkm5l143]

Yes I did, I would use at least the same wire thickness to extend, possibly up it by a little. I would also solder each wire after the twist, then tape and waterproof.

[@Ray-nf9cn]

@@patrickbouldinkm5l143 Thanks! I appreciate the video

Morrow says Vertical video is unexceptionable 🤨👎🏼

[@ShootingOutside]

Huh?
