NICE Apollo 10003115 Chain and Threaded Bolt Hardware Kit
The NICE Apollo 10003115 hardware kit is a chain and threaded bolt service kit used on select Apollo gate operators. It is typically ordered when the chain attachment hardware is missing, damaged, rusted, stripped, or no longer holding proper chain tension. On a chain-driven gate system, the small hardware pieces matter because loose or mismatched chain hardware can cause noisy operation, uneven travel, chain jump, and premature wear on the operator sprocket or gate brackets.
This part is not a universal box of chain hardware. It should be matched to the Apollo operator parts diagram and the original chain connection hardware. The kit is commonly searched for as a threaded chain bolt kit, chain tension hardware, or chain hardware kit for Apollo swing and slide gate operator service.

Technician Note
If the gate chain keeps loosening, look beyond the bolt. Worn brackets, elongated mounting holes, misaligned chain path, or a failing sprocket can damage new hardware quickly.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the operator model and serial range where available
- Compare the old chain hardware to the parts diagram
- Verify chain size and bracket style before replacing parts
- Inspect sprockets, chain brackets, and chain alignment
- Do not use hardware-store substitutes where the manufacturer kit is required
Professional Advisory
Chain tension and travel should be set with the gate secured and the operator power safely controlled. If the gate is binding or moving unpredictably, have the system checked by a qualified gate technician.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Not a universal chain kit for every Apollo operator
- Do not assume compatibility by chain size alone
- A loose chain can indicate a worn bracket, not just bad hardware
Product Questions and Answers
What is included with the 10003115 hardware kit?
It is a NICE Apollo chain and threaded bolt hardware kit. The exact contents should be checked against the current manufacturer packaging and the operator parts diagram.
Which Apollo operators commonly use this kit?
It is commonly associated with select Apollo 1500/1600, 1550/1650, 3500/3600, 7000 ETL, and 7500 ETL applications.
Can I use generic chain bolts instead?
Generic hardware may fit loosely or fail under gate load. Use the manufacturer part when the parts diagram calls for 10003115.
Will this fix a gate chain that keeps coming loose?
It may help if the original hardware is worn, but repeated loosening can also come from chain misalignment, worn brackets, or a binding gate.
Is this for swing or slide gate operators?
It has been listed with select Apollo swing and slide operator families. Verify by model and parts diagram before ordering.
