It's my choice, you don't have to worry about it - ha ha ha! Another project that you make look so simple. Looking forward to the walk through of the finished, decorated room. TY.
Very good video. As a handy man I’ve taken on many project because of people like you who teach and show us how to do things right the first time. I started my painting business in 2009. And there was always other things that needed to get done in the house. Before painting. So I decided to learn how to do anything that a house needs. For two reason. The time factor. Waiting on other people to get stuff done. 2. Get as much of the dollar out of that house as you can. 3. I know what’s been done. And no surprises as the job moves on. Keeps me working. My motto is. From the crawl space to the roof and all the surrounding property. It’s amazing that I may get the job for one thing and next there are things added as the job goes on. Thanks for all the help people like you give.
Great video and great installation as always. Whoever gets this house after you will be very lucky. You mentioned probably getting a new house so you had more room for your growing family, I'm sure a lot of people would love to watch you fix it up as well. Keep up the good work.
Reminder: When installing the wooden floor, make sure to slide the track underneath the floor. Otherwise, the floor will need to be cut. However, the installation of this transition strip is perfect. Keep up the good work!
Most excellent! Bought the same transition for my LifeProof flooring and have to transition to some tile for my bathroom... Didnt want to dig in my garage for the box.. now I can leave more space for the transition beforehand!
Thank you for this! Helped me figure out how to hold down the shims and channel lock. Also made me realize I needed to break the side off of the shims.
Grant, your complete instructions and demonstrations are amazing in this video. I learned so much compared to the tiny instructions on the manual KS955. I was a Total loss until I found your video. Keep up the amazing work⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you sir. This video helped as I’m in the process of laying down LVP in the bathroom and the floor in the bathroom will sit a little higher than the outside floor.
I installed that same kind of transition between our kitchen and living room different color vinyl planks. I used 18ga staples in my air stapler, and it cracked the gray plastic in a few places. I should have used nails like you, nice video!
Thanks for the info! I have 3 doorways that need to be redone. I’ve been around since your Ring doorbell how to… thank you for the insight- this old chick can now get it done!!
Oh my gosh!! I can SO do this! I've got all the things except for the transition strips themselves, which I now know how to purchase (which is not as straightforward as I'd assumed it was, so I thank you for teaching me). I'm gonna take that TWO HUNDRED BUCKS the guy was gonna charge me (five weeks after the floor was finished and I'm STILL 🤬 chasing his A$$ down) and buy myself a li'l sumpin' sumpin'! Oh! And I'm subbing to your channel too! I'm SUCH a DIY kinda gal! Grateful hugs from northwest Indiana, MK 🤗🤗🤗
Great video. Very helpful. I was trying to see if I need to cut under my door jam or cut around it. You are cutting around it and I love how it looks. I also like the idea of using the hand sauce so I’m going to my garage to get mine. Wish me luck. I need it because my projects never turn out like the videos!
Perfect timing! I'm currently finishing up installing my vinyl laminate flooring and having to install my transition strip between my kitchen and living space. I was wondering if I could use my Makita Multi tool to trim off the excess vinyl flooring and your video answered my question. Thanks for your very excellent tutoring!
I did the same thing installing two different vinyls colors in bedroom and the main room because the first vinyls type was discontinued. I bought those exact transmissions but haven't had a chance to install them yet so your video will greatly help me on this. Thanks!
Thanks! Been putting this off for 2 years since I fixed the subfloor & put new vinyl down. Landlords want to sell, so I want to make it look nice before I go. I didn't quite know how to deal with such a close but not even height. Thanks!
Excellent video i learned a lot …sometimes I am asked by customers about the threshold and as you said there’s two types one with the nail and one with the snap in so by explaining all of it so thoroughly I am able to suggest the correct products….thanks again
Well done video! Do you also have a video to LVL to carpet transitions AND transitioning the direction of the LVL w/o a transition strip. For example when changing direction from a family room to a hallway? Thanks!!
Great video. I installed this same transition recently. the hardest part was snapping the transition piece onto the underneath piece. it was really hard to do. you made it look easy.
same, i almost broke the transition strip (bought at HD, maybe that's part of the problem, transition strips shouldn't be that hard to get into the channel); i couldn't get the transition strip to properly sit, clipped into the channel underneath. I ended up glueing the transition to the channel and pushed it down best i could. I can't afford to purchase 7 more channels at $50 a pop, only to find out they don't clip in properly either. Probably my error, but should it really be that difficult to snap in?
Such a good video! Thank you! I recently installed LVP and the transition strip made no sense to me and I have this exact same kind and wasn't sure if I could cut my already installed LVP to fit the transition piece in the right spot.
They sell concrete anchors that are similar to drywall anchors. You'd need a hammer drill to drill pilot holes for the anchors, then you just screw the transition base plate into the anchors.
This was a great video. I have to do the same thing but on concrete. Could I use small tap cons where you used the small nails or should I just use glue. The vinyl floor is meeting up to carpet. Thanks for any help.
I used this stuff recently and the instructions say to "glue" the base strip and shims down. It was ok except one of them shifted when drying (before I put the transition strip on) and so I tried repositioning it and gluing it and it didn't go well. I ended up screwing the base strip to the sub floor. The bottom line is the "glue" method works if it stays where you want it, next time I will probably just screw it (or nail it as shown here) Thanks for the video!
We do our a lot different between the two rooms we put down a piece of plywood cut to inch and quarter down then butt the flooring to it saves a lot of time and trouble
Great, thanks and question to anybody that might be able to help. I installed 2 on laminate flooring. One floor was slightly higher than other, maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I used the one with metal chanel which I glued to concrete floor and just pushed the transition piece. After one day of drying and removing weights, the transition pieces move a little when stepping on them. Was I suppossed to glue them to the metal chanel? Should I remove them and add glue/silicon?.

Thanks for watching! 😃
You're very THOROUGH without being too complicated or cumbersome. ❤ thanks👍
Just the video I needed. You answered every question that I had after buying the same transition strip. You even put a link to the nails you used!
Where did you buy it?
It's my choice, you don't have to worry about it - ha ha ha!
Another project that you make look so simple.
Looking forward to the walk through of the finished, decorated room. TY.
You are such a good teacher.
He really is I like his delivery too

Thank you for a great how to video! No annoying music, just clear direct easy to follow instructions with excellent camera views.

This was so helpful - thanks!! This is the only video I found that provides clear instruction as to what all the parts are and how to use them.
Thank you so much, I am such a visual person, this explains everything I need to know to do our transitions to tile
Beautiful clean work. Thank you for showing us easy step-by-step directions.
Thank you for posting this. I needed to cut the transition strip, and your instructions helped to make the cut perfect!
Just getting ready to put in transition strip and this is the first video I watched and all I need, Thanks, great video!
Reminder: When installing the wooden floor, make sure to slide the track underneath the floor. Otherwise, the floor will need to be cut. However, the installation of this transition strip is perfect. Keep up the good work!
So basically just the lip will be exposed. And slide one side of transition underneath floor and lay the other side on top and finish laying floor
This is a great video. Thank you for taking the time to break this down for someone doing this for the first time.
Just in time. I bought a transition strip for my project too and your video came in handy. Thanks Mr. Fixer.m

Thank you so much for this video! Ours were installed without and are now cracked, and coming up. Now we can fix this ourselves. Thank You!

Nicely done. Thanks for making the video
Great job boss I like to do this kind of jobs I do repair and improvements I like that details thanks for teach
Great video. I learned something.
How to you secure the shim and part to secure your transition if it’s on concrete?
Life saver man!! thanks for this vid!! Helped me a ton lol
Just what i needed! Thanks.
Such a good video! Thank you! I recently installed LVP and the transition strip made no sense to me and I have this exact same kind and wasn't sure if I could cut my already installed LVP to fit the transition piece in the right spot.
Thanks, very helpful.
looks great Matt 🙂
that's going to be perfect for the twins 💖
Very good! 🤗
Thank you so much 👏 You rock!
Outstanding!
How do you know what gap to
Leave between the threshold? I’m planning on using the same floor throughout hallway into bedrooms but not sure
Great tutorial, thanks
Very well done sir.
i needed this video!! thank you!
Which is the best way to install on a concrete slab ?
They sell concrete anchors that are similar to drywall anchors. You'd need a hammer drill to drill pilot holes for the anchors, then you just screw the transition base plate into the anchors.

Super helpful!
that's excellent work. I think I can do this
This was a great video. I have to do the same thing but on concrete. Could I use small tap cons where you used the small nails or should I just use glue. The vinyl floor is meeting up to carpet. Thanks for any help.
Very helpful and looks good.
Thanks great job! Very helpful.
Looks easy peezy when you do it. 😎👍
I used this stuff recently and the instructions say to "glue" the base strip and shims down. It was ok except one of them shifted when drying (before I put the transition strip on) and so I tried repositioning it and gluing it and it didn't go well. I ended up screwing the base strip to the sub floor. The bottom line is the "glue" method works if it stays where you want it, next time I will probably just screw it (or nail it as shown here) Thanks for the video!
Nice job
Thanks brother just the video I needed to see.
Good video and easy to follow. Keep up the great work!
We do our a lot different between the two rooms we put down a piece of plywood cut to inch and quarter down then butt the flooring to it saves a lot of time and trouble
My subfloor is concrete. Can you recommend a glue that works on concrete?
Well done.
Best disclaimer ever
Nice clean install 👍🏼 love to see it
Great Vid, love the George n Weezie, wonder how many caught it, or even know LOL.
😄 Glad you caught it!
Outstanding video. Thank you for your effort. Albert
As always, a job well done.
Great, thanks and question to anybody that might be able to help.
I installed 2 on laminate flooring. One floor was slightly higher than other, maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I used the one with metal chanel which I glued to concrete floor and just pushed the transition piece. After one day of drying and removing weights, the transition pieces move a little when stepping on them.
Was I suppossed to glue them to the metal chanel?
Should I remove them and add glue/silicon?.
