Homestead · Miami-Dade 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.

Mains power at the road is not a given out here. That single question decides between a trenched run, a solar operator and a battery-backed unit, and it gets asked first.

Long driveways mean long runs, and every extra foot of run is another decision about power, voltage drop and control.

Inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone

Miami-Dade sits inside the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load regime in the state, so the rating on posts, panels and hardware is not a nice-to-have here. Permits on top of that are issued locally — by the municipality or by the county — so what Homestead wants to see on paper is worth confirming before anything is cut.

Straight answers

  • Phone control
  • Operator sized to weight
  • Safety sensors
  • Loop detection
  • Solar & battery options
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.
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.
