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.

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.

Black sliding gate running along a concrete driveway beside a clipped lawn and palms. — The urban core — Where the driveway usually meets the sidewalk and the swing arc has to come from somewhere else.

Miami · Miami-Dade County

An automatic gate is judged on one moment: the approach. If you have to stop, wind a window down and wait, the automation has not really happened. Operator, receiver and detection all get tuned to that one sequence.

A short frontage usually means a slide operator rather than a pair of arms, and the safety loop has to be cut into a driveway that was already short to begin with.

The urban grid was laid out long before anybody was automating an entrance, so the space a gate needs has to be found rather than assumed.

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 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.
