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.

Grey perforated-panel modern gate across a driveway beneath a cantilevered house overhang. — The north county — From the city up to the Loxahatchee — newer construction, wider frontages, more slide gates than swings.

Jupiter · Palm Beach County

Three numbers pick an operator: what the leaf weighs, how far it travels, and how many times a day it does it. Get any one of them wrong and the motor is either overspecified or on borrowed time.

Heavy ornamental leaves are what undersize an operator. The unit gets chosen from the leaf's real weight and length, measured on site, never estimated off a photograph.

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

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