West Palm 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.

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.

Where the house sits well back, the gate is the only part of the property most people ever see close up.

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

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.
Do I need a safety loop?
It depends on the layout and the traffic. Where a vehicle can end up under a closing gate, detection is not an optional extra.
