Jupiter Inlet Colony · Palm Beach County

Commercial hardware is not residential hardware in a bigger box. The difference is the duty cycle: how many times the thing moves in a day, and whether the motor, the chain and the board were rated for that number or for a tenth of it.

A commercial entry near the water is a corrosion problem with a traffic problem on top. The hardware gets rated for both, or it gets replaced twice.

Everything within a few blocks of open water runs on the same clock: salt reaches fixings, hinges and enclosures whether or not the house faces the ocean.

The coastal towns add a layer

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the product approvals differ from the two counties to the south. On top of that, several towns and associations in this county run design guidelines of their own — so what Jupiter Inlet Colony expects is worth reading before a finish is chosen, not after.

Worth knowing

  • Loop detection
  • Serviceable in place
  • High-cycle operators
  • Cantilever & barrier
  • Specified for salt exposure
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.
Our gate fails every few months.
Usually a residential operator doing commercial cycles. The fix is rating the hardware to the traffic.
Can you work around our hours?
Entrances get staged so the site keeps operating while the work happens.
Who manages the residents' access?
Cloud-managed permissions let your manager add and remove people without a service call.
