How to Install Carpet Edges
- 1). Measure the length of the carpet edge to determine the length of the transition strip. Mark the strip with a fine-tip marker at the correct length.
- 2). Cut the strip to size with the hacksaw. The cut must go straight across. Placing the strip in a vise will aid in keeping the cut straight.
- 3). Place the strip in the desired location with the teeth evenly spaced. Mark the location of the screw holes
- 4). Pre-drill pilot holes and then screw the transition strip down onto the floor. Lay the carpet over the strip, positioning it so the teeth grab it securely.
