Can I still open it by hand?

Every install gets a manual release, and where it goes is part of the job — it has to be findable in the dark.

Will it work with my existing remotes?

Often. Where the frequency matches, what you already carry gets re-programmed rather than replaced.

The operator type decides most of that. Hydraulic, screw-drive and rack-and-pinion units do not sound alike, which is worth knowing before one is fitted.

Ours is a shared entry, not a driveway.

Different machine. It gets specified on cycles a day and on who needs to get through it, not on the gate's weight alone.

Black double swing gate open onto a paver driveway lined with clipped hedging. — The south county cities — The densest run of gated communities anywhere in the three counties.

Boynton Beach · Palm Beach County

Two things separate a commissioned gate from a fitted one. The detection actually stops and reverses the leaf, tested rather than assumed. And there is a manual release you can find in the dark, with battery or solar backup where the site suits it.

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.

Where an association governs the street, its architectural review usually runs in parallel with the municipal permit rather than after it.

Different county, different approval route

Because Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the approvals a Miami-Dade contractor quotes from memory are the wrong ones here. What Boynton Beach actually requires is set locally, and where a town or an association runs its own design guidelines those shape the finish as much as the code shapes the frame.
