Who is responsible for the entry?

Usually the association rather than any one resident, which changes who we talk to and who signs the work off.

Is the paperwork the same as Miami?

No. Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it is a different product-approval set, and permitting is administered locally on top of that.

Why is the spec different up here?

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.

You didn't install it — will you still touch it?

Yes. We service every major operator brand, whoever put it in.

Start with what it is actually doing. A gate that hums and does not move is a different fault from one that moves and will not latch, which is different again from one that opens and immediately reverses. Each points somewhere specific.

When a shared entry fails everybody notices at once. The usual cause is a residential-duty operator being asked to run commercial cycles.

Planned communities repeat — the same frontage width, the same setback, and often the same entry problem several hundred times over.

Different county, different approval route

Because Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the approvals a Miami-Dade contractor quotes from memory are the wrong ones here. What Delray Beach actually requires is set locally, and where a town or an association runs its own design guidelines those shape the finish as much as the code shapes the frame.
