Gate Repair, Installation & Access Control in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Gate Core Automation repairs automatic gates across Palm Beach Gardens, from the guard gated entrances at PGA National, BallenIsles, and Mirasol to the acreage streets in Caloosa and Steeplechase. Operators, control boards, safety devices, and the access control behind a community gate.
Palm Beach Gardens covers 59 square miles at about 1,100 people per square mile, which is the lowest density of any large city in the county. That space is filled with gated communities. Country club properties, golf communities, and acreage streets where every driveway has its own gate.

Palm Beach Gardens runs from the Intracoastal west across 59 square miles, and the gate conditions change as you cross it.
The eastern side sits on the water. Frenchman's Creek, Marina Gardens, and Prosperity Harbor are on or near the Intracoastal, and salt air works on hinges, chains, fasteners, and the inside of an operator housing on those properties faster than anything inland.
Move west and the salt drops off. PGA National, Mirasol, Caloosa, and the communities out toward the Turnpike are inland, where lightning surge is hard on control boards and standing water after a storm reaches the loop sensors in a driveway.
What runs through the whole city is volume. A guard gate at a country club community carries a cycle count no private driveway gate approaches, and the larger communities here run several entrances rather than one.
Code That Applies in Palm Beach Gardens
Fire access is the requirement that binds every community entrance here. Palm Beach County's amendments to the Florida Fire Prevention Code require, for newly placed or replacement unmanned electronically controlled gates and barrier arms at commercial and multifamily properties in PBCFR jurisdiction, a Click2Enter radio system on the assigned frequency as the primary and a Knox Switch as the secondary. The opening must be 20 feet wide with a minimum 13 feet 6 inches of vertical clearance, and where more than one gate or barrier arm serves the same access point, all of them have to open when the device is activated.
The trigger is the work, not the age of the gate. Broward applies its rule to gates that already exist. Palm Beach applies it when new or replacement work happens, so a gate replacement at a country club community brings the requirement with it. On a community that is replacing an aging entrance, that requirement arrives with the work.
Community entrances are a different class of operator. UL 325 sorts operators into four classes, and a Class II commercial entrance is built for a cycle count no residential unit is rated for. A guard gate on PGA Boulevard and a driveway gate in Caloosa are not the same machine and they do not get diagnosed the same way.
Palm Beach is a Wind Borne Debris Region. Design wind speeds run 160 to 170 mph toward the coast. On the eastern properties near the Intracoastal, a gate carries wind load and fights salt at the same time.
What We Do in Palm Beach Gardens
Commercial and HOA gates. Country club entrances, guard gates, and barrier arms. High cycle operators, loop detectors, and the fire access requirement that comes with replacement work in Palm Beach County.
Access control and intercoms. Keypads, fobs, RFID readers, video intercoms, and phone entry. On a community entrance with a guard house and a resident list that changes constantly, the system has to be one a manager can actually run.
Gate operators and control boards. Surge damage, dead boards, encoders, drives, limit switches, and safety loops, on grid powered and solar systems both.
Sliding gates. Chain drive, rack and pinion, rollers, and tracks. A country club entrance puts more cycles on that hardware in a month than a house gate sees in a year.
Swing gates. Single and double, arm and pad mounted operators, hinges, and posts. Long driveways on acreage lots run heavier gates than a standard property.
Residential gates. Private driveways in Caloosa, Steeplechase, Palm Beach Country Estates, Horseshoe Acres, and the estate streets inside the club communities.

Palm Beach Gardens Gate Service: Common Questions
Our country club community has multiple entrances. Do you service all of them?
Yes. Larger communities here run more than one entrance, and they do not always run the same equipment or the same age of equipment. We look at each one rather than assuming they match.
Our board is quoting gate work. What should be in it?
In Palm Beach County the fire access requirement triggers on new or replacement work rather than on the age of the gate. A Click2Enter radio system plus a Knox Switch, a 20 foot wide opening, and 13 feet 6 inches of vertical clearance. If a quote does not mention any of it, that is worth asking about before approval.
I have an acre lot with a driveway gate. Is that different from a community gate?
Genuinely different. An acreage driveway gate is usually heavier and runs a residential operator, and it is your equipment and your decision. A community entrance runs a commercial grade Class II operator, cycles hundreds of times a day, and belongs to the association.
My gate is near the Intracoastal. Does salt reach it?
On the eastern properties, yes. Frenchman's Creek, Marina Gardens, and the streets near the water sit in salt air, and it reaches hinges, chains, fasteners, and the inside of the operator housing. Corrosion rated parts hold up better there.
My gate has power but will not move. Is the operator finished?
Not necessarily. Under UL 325 every external safety device has to be monitored, and a device that has failed or fallen out of alignment makes the operator refuse to run by design. Testing separates a failed operator from a failed sensor, and the second one is a much smaller repair.
How fast can you get to a stuck gate in Palm Beach Gardens?
Same day in most cases, from the Intracoastal west to the Turnpike. Call 954-310-6669.
