It still works, but it sounds wrong.

That is a real symptom. Noise generally arrives before failure does, and it is a much smaller job at that stage.

Can a two-leaf gate work on my frontage?

If the setback gives the leaves somewhere to open into, yes — that gets measured on site before anything is drawn.

A pair halves the arc each leaf needs and doubles the hardware. Opening width and setback usually settle it between them.

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.

Sometimes it is one part and an hour. Sometimes the frame has gone and a new operator would just be bolted to a losing argument. That call gets made after the diagnosis, out loud, with the reasoning attached.

Two heavy ornamental leaves put the whole load on the hinges and the posts. When one of those starts to go the gate stops closing square long before it stops moving.

Wider frontages tend to favour a slide or a long swing pair, and both want the ground under them prepared properly.

Outside the HVHZ — a different set of paperwork

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward. Wind still decides the frame here; the product-approval paperwork is simply a different set. Permitting in West Palm Beach is administered locally, so confirm what is expected before fabrication starts.
