Genie GLA24V Residential Linear Actuator Swing Gate Operator Dual Kit
The Genie GLA24V dual kit is a residential vehicular swing gate operator package designed for select dual-leaf swing gate installations. It uses linear actuator arms for primary and secondary gate operation where the gate size, gate weight, hinge condition, post layout, duty cycle, and installation geometry meet Genie specifications.
This is a dual swing gate operator kit, not a universal actuator package for every two-leaf gate. Each gate leaf must be checked for length, weight, hinge condition, swing direction, mounting geometry, wind load, and safety-device requirements before ordering. Dual installations also require proper primary/secondary setup, actuator wiring, bi-parting delay adjustment, and monitored entrapment protection.
Primary Use
- Residential vehicular swing gate automation for dual-leaf gate installations
- Linear actuator operation for select two-leaf swing gates where mounting geometry allows
- Residential gates up to 16 ft wide or 850 lb per gate leaf where the gate and installation conditions meet Genie specifications
- Applications requiring primary and secondary actuator control from one compatible GLA24V control system
- Installations requiring battery backup, monitored safety inputs, onboard solar charge controller, and Genie Intellicode radio control
- Dual-gate applications requiring adjustable bi-parting delay where configured through the operator controls
Compatible With

Technician Notes
- Check both gate leaves before sizing the operator. If either leaf drags, sags, binds, flexes, or has worn hinges, the operator can be overloaded even when the published gate rating looks acceptable.
- Confirm gate length, gate weight, hinge offset, post position, opening angle, and actuator mounting dimensions for both the primary and secondary leaves.
- Confirm pull-to-open versus push-to-open requirements. Some sites may need separate push-to-open brackets or different actuator geometry.
- Do not overlook wind load. A lighter solid-panel gate can be harder on the actuators than a heavier open-frame gate.
- Plan conduit and wiring between the primary control side and the secondary actuator before installation. Cable routing, voltage drop, water intrusion, and driveway crossings should be handled correctly.
- Confirm monitored safety devices before installation. Dual swing gates often create multiple entrapment zones, including both open and close directions.
- Battery backup performance depends on battery age, charge level, accessory load, temperature, gate condition, and cycle frequency.
- For solar installations, size the solar panel and batteries based on dual-actuator load, daily cycles, accessory draw, shade, local weather, and recovery time.
- Set the primary and secondary timing carefully. Incorrect bi-parting delay can cause one gate leaf to hit the other, bind at the center stop, or close out of sequence.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the exact model is Genie GLA24V.
- Confirm the application is a residential dual swing gate, not a slide gate or single-leaf gate.

- Confirm whether optional items such as Aladdin Connect Wi-Fi, solar panel, keypad, exit loop, vehicle sensor, receiver, or additional safety devices are needed.
Professional Advisory
A dual swing gate operator installation involves moving gate panels, pinch points, monitored safety devices, high-voltage line power, low-voltage controls, batteries, solar charging, radio programming, primary/secondary actuator wiring, and possible access control equipment. Installation should be performed by a qualified gate operator technician, especially where the gate is heavy, wind-loaded, dual-leaf, damaged, or connected to access control, fire access, vehicle detection, or safety circuits. Do not bypass monitored photo eyes, safety edges, inherent entrapment protection, warning devices, fuses, grounding, or operator control protections.
Product Q&A
What type of gate is the Genie GLA24V dual kit made for?
The Genie GLA24V dual kit is made for select residential vehicular dual swing gates. It uses linear actuator arms and should be installed only where both gate leaves, hinges, mounting geometry, and safety-device layout match Genie specifications.
What size gate can the Genie GLA24V dual kit operate?
The GLA24V is rated for gate leaves up to 16 ft wide or 850 lb where the gate is properly built, balanced, and free-moving. Wind load, hinge drag, poor alignment, and incorrect actuator geometry can reduce real-world performance.
