Highland Beach · Palm Beach County

An operator out of the box is not a working gate. Limits, force, timers, the receiver and whatever remotes you already carry all get set on the gate itself, because that is the only place the settings mean anything.

An operator on the water wants a sealed enclosure and hardware chosen for the exposure, and it will still want servicing sooner than the same unit further inland.

Spray carries further inland than people expect, which is why a finish specified here is not the one specified well away from the water.

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 Highland Beach expects is worth reading before a finish is chosen, not after.

Why not just fit the cheapest operator?
An under-rated motor dies on the duty cycle. The gate's weight and daily use pick the unit.
Can I keep my remotes?
Usually. If the frequency matches we re-program what you already carry.
There's no power at the gate.
Solar and battery operators exist for exactly that. Where trenching is easy, we trench.
Can I keep the operator I have?
If it is rated for the gate and still serviceable, yes. Replacing a working unit is not automatically the answer.
