How To Install Laminate Transition Strips In Doorways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Installing new laminate flooring and wondering where to put the transition strip in the doorway? I\u2019ve got you covered! Here is where you should place transition strips in a doorway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transition strips should be placed in the center of the door opening where the opening is the smallest. In this placement, the transition strip will not impact the door’s ability to close regardless of which way the door swings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictures are always more useful in my opinion though, so I\u2019ll show you exactly where I\u2019m talking about below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where To Place Transition Strips In Doorways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I broke this tutorial up into pictures below to help you figure out exactly where to install transition strips in your doorway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step One: Measure Inside Of Doorway<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The first step to installing a transition strip in a doorway is to measure the inside of the door opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The smallest, center part of the door opening is where you want to measure and place the transition strip because the door will never swing over that area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    Once you have that measurement, it’s time to move on to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n
