Miami Beach · Miami-Dade County

Most households end up wanting three ways in: a remote in the car, a code for the people who visit often, and a phone that works from anywhere. All three run off the same operator, and which one you reach for is a habit you settle in the first week.

Salt reaches the operator long before it shows on the frame. On the addresses nearest the water the enclosure, the hardware and where the control box is mounted matter as much as the motor inside it.

Spray carries further inland than people expect, which is why a finish specified here is not the one specified well away from the water.

Wind load first, paperwork second

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade in full, which is what decides the frame and the fixings long before anyone picks a finish. Approval is a separate, local question: in Miami Beach it runs through whichever authority has jurisdiction, and where a homeowners' association governs the street its architectural review usually runs alongside it.

What is the HVHZ?
The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the Florida Building Code's strictest wind-load region. It covers all of Miami-Dade, which is why the hardware spec here is not the spec further north.
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.
