Boynton Beach · Palm Beach County

A community entrance has three completely different users arriving at it, and the system has to handle all three without a queue. Resident tags, a directory for guests, and a way to let a contractor in on a Tuesday without giving them permanent access.

A shared entry is a different machine from a private driveway — duty cycle, callbox, resident directory and contractor access all wanted on the same lane.

A shared entrance belongs to everybody, which makes downtime a governance problem as much as a mechanical one.

Different county, different approval route

Because Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the approvals a Miami-Dade contractor quotes from memory are the wrong ones here. What Boynton Beach actually requires is set locally, and where a town or an association runs its own design guidelines those shape the finish as much as the code shapes the frame.

Straight answers

  • Cantilever & barrier
  • Loop detection
  • Serviceable in place
  • High-cycle operators
  • Shared-entry duty cycle
Ours is a shared entry, not a driveway.
Different machine. It gets specified on cycles a day and on who needs to get through it, not on the gate's weight alone.
Who is responsible for the entry?
Usually the association rather than any one resident, which changes who we talk to and who signs the work off.
Is the paperwork the same as Miami?
No. Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it is a different product-approval set, and permitting is administered locally on top of that.
Why is the spec different up here?
Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.
