In this episode of Fence Guy Friday, Craig sits down with Jim Todd from Locinox USA to dive into how the company's innovative gate hardware is reshaping the fencing industry. From hydraulic closers to smart gate automation, Jim shares insider stories about Locinox's commitment to safety, precision engineering, and next-level product testing.

They discuss the origins of the company in Belgium, the development of products like the Venus and Magnus gate operators, and how the Locinox team ensures every hinge and latch is built to perform flawlessly—from the deserts of Africa to freezing winters in Canada.

You'll also hear about the future of pedestrian gate automation, UL safety standards, tariffs and U.S. market challenges, and how Locinox is keeping installers connected with hands-on support and app-driven setup tools.

Plus, Craig and Jim have some fun with rapid-fire questions, industry insights, and even a few laughs about the quirks of fence life, from zip-tie fixes to beer at FenceTech.
