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.

What actually is a duty cycle?

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.

Most of the burnt-out units that come off gates were never wrong for the gate, they were wrong for the traffic. An operator rated for a few cycles a day will do a few hundred, briefly, and then it will not.

Cycles a day is the number that picks the unit here. A high-cycle operator on a shared entry will outlive two or three residential ones.

A shared entrance belongs to everybody, which makes downtime a governance problem as much as a mechanical one.

Wind load first, paperwork second

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade in full, which is what decides the frame and the fixings long before anyone picks a finish. Approval is a separate, local question: in Miami Lakes it runs through whichever authority has jurisdiction, and where a homeowners' association governs the street its architectural review usually runs alongside it.
