Letting people in · Miami Beach, FL

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

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.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, Miami Beach runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.

Where should the pedestal go?
Far enough back that a car is clear of the road, and at a height a driver can reach without opening the door.
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.
Do I need a permit for this?
Often, and Miami-Dade is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating matters too. Permits are issued locally, so we confirm what your authority wants before we start.
