How many open-and-close cycles the unit is built to do in a day. It is the number that decides whether an operator lasts or not.

Wind exposure on the water is not only a number in a code table — it is what actually loads a gate leaf, every afternoon.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings.
