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.

West Palm Beach · 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.

An ornamental community entrance still has to run commercial cycles. The look sits on top of hardware rated for the traffic, not the other way round.

Deeper setbacks change the brief entirely: there is room to make an entrance a piece of architecture rather than a barrier.

Outside the HVHZ — a different set of paperwork

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward. Wind still decides the frame here; the product-approval paperwork is simply a different set. Permitting in West Palm Beach is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.
