Automating what you have · Boca Raton, FL

Often yes — the frame, hinges and posts get checked before anything is quoted.

Boca Raton · Palm Beach County

A manual gate can usually be automated, but the frame has to be able to carry an operator. Hinge condition, post fixing and the leaf's real weight get checked first, because bolting a motor to a gate that cannot take it just breaks the gate more expensively.

A shared entry runs far more cycles a day than a private driveway, so the operator is sized on traffic as well as on the gate's weight.

A shared entrance belongs to everybody, which makes downtime a governance problem as much as a mechanical one.

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 Boca Raton is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.

Straight answers

  • Operator sized to weight
  • Safety sensors
  • Loop detection
  • Phone control
  • Shared-entry duty cycle
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.
Can my existing gate be automated?
Often yes. The frame has to carry the operator, so we check hinges, posts and weight first.
What happens in a power cut?
Every install gets a manual release, and battery or solar backup where the site suits it.
Is it safe around kids and pets?
Photo-eyes and edge sensors stop and reverse the gate. They are commissioned, not just fitted.
