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.

There is no room for a gate to swing.

Then it should not swing. A slide or a cantilever gets the same opening without needing an arc that is not there.

Will it overhang the sidewalk?

It should not, and that is a design constraint rather than a preference — whatever the gate does happens inside the property line.

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 Springs · 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.

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.

Where the property line meets a public sidewalk, everything the gate does has to happen inside the property.

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 Miami Springs wants to see on paper is worth confirming before anything is cut.
