Letting people in · Jupiter Inlet Colony, FL

Telephone entry rings your phone and you open the gate from the call.

Jupiter Inlet Colony · Palm Beach County

The everyday case is not a burglar, it is a delivery driver at four in the afternoon while you are somewhere else. Telephone entry turns that into a phone call you can answer, and the gate opens from the call.

Waterfront addresses tend to run household, guest and trade access through one entry, which is the exact case telephone entry and per-person codes were built for.

Wind exposure on the water is not only a number in a code table — it is what actually loads a gate leaf, every afternoon.

Outside the HVHZ — a different set of paperwork

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward. Wind still decides the frame here; the product-approval paperwork is simply a different set. Permitting in Jupiter Inlet Colony is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.

Straight answers

  • Callbox to your phone
  • RFID tags
  • Permissions you control
  • Keypad & code
  • Specified for salt exposure
Will it survive this close to the water?
Salt is the design brief on the coast, so material, fixings and finish are chosen for the exposure rather than for the photograph.
Does the finish need redoing eventually?
Coatings on the water have a working life. Knowing that at the start is better than discovering it, and it is part of what the material choice trades off.
Is the paperwork the same as Miami?
No. Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it is a different product-approval set, and permitting is administered locally on top of that.
Why is the spec different up here?
Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.
