What is the normal pivot point for an Apollo 1500?
Normally it is 13″ out from the gate and 6″ back behind the hinges. This measurement is taken from the center rotation point of the hinges of the gate. It is easiest to use a framing square to measure this point. The pivot arm should be cut and saddled to fit the hinge post so that the 1/2″ hole will end up at this point. Remember to weld the pivot arm on 1/2″ below the center of the member of the gate that you will be attaching the gate bracket to.
