FAQs

The strip is compatible with all carpet types, though you may need to compress the pile slightly during installation for a flush fit.

Are the screws included?

Troubleshooting
Strip feels loose after installation
Ensure the screws are fully tightened. If the subfloor is soft, consider using wall anchors.
The strip is too long for the door opening
Use a standard hacksaw to trim the metal strip to the required length before installation.
Visible gaps between flooring and strip
Ensure the carpet is stretched taut and the vinyl is trimmed closely to the edge before placing the threshold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a drill and a screwdriver. Begin by measuring your doorway and cutting the 3-foot strip to size using a hacksaw if necessary. Position the strip over the transition point, ensuring the 15mm top section covers the seam between the two floorings. Drill pilot holes into the subfloor, then use the provided screws to secure the strip in place. For maintenance, simply wipe the metal surface with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might scratch the finish.
