Can you service what we already have?

Yes, and on a shared entry that is often the right first step before anything gets replaced.

Who holds the access list?

Your manager. Cloud-managed systems exist precisely so adding and removing residents is not a service call.

What about emergency access?

Fire and emergency access is part of the specification from the start, not something bolted on at the end.

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.

Barrier arm lowered across the entry lane of a gated residential community. — Central Broward — The older inland grid either side of I-95 and the canal network that runs through it.

Tamarac · Broward 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.

Yard and plaza entries in the urban grid rarely have room to close down, so the work is sequenced to keep at least one lane live while it happens.

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.

One code, many counters

The wind-load requirement in Tamarac is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard that governs the whole of Broward. The review that sits on top of it is local, and in a county this dense with planned communities an association's architectural approval is frequently the longer of the two.
