Safety and backup · Jupiter, FL

Photo-eyes, edge sensors and a manual release on every install.

Jupiter · 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 long approach and two heavy leaves is where photo-eyes and an edge sensor are doing real work rather than ticking a box — there is enough travel for something to be standing in it.

Wider frontages tend to favour a slide or a long swing pair, and both want the ground under them prepared properly.

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

Before you call

  • Phone control
  • Operator sized to weight
  • Safety sensors
  • Loop detection
  • Two-leaf openings
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.

Next step

Describe the gate and where it is in Jupiter, and you will get an answer from someone who works on them rather than a call-centre script.
