If you need to replace your gripper rods with new ones, it can be fiddly, but here’s what you need to do…Before fitting your new carpet you probably have some old flooring to remove, as well as preparing the sub-floor underneath. At Carpetright we make fitting a new floor easy at every step. In addition to our approved fitting arrangement service, we can also arrange to uplift your old flooring and dispose of it for you to ensure that you experience a hassle-free fit. With the holes correctly drilled, you can put the door threshold strip, i.e. the door bar, onto the floor with the holes in line with those you drilled. First, ensure both rooms’ carpet edges are correctly aligned in the gripper. Before you start it is important to locate any hidden wires or pipes using a pipe and wire detector. The first step to fitting your new carpet is removing your old carpet and preparing your sub-floor. The sub-floor is just the foundation underneath the floor, usually, this is concrete or wood. If the sub-floor isn’t prepared properly, it will affect the way that your carpet lies and potentially ruin the overall finish.

So, there you have it; you now know how to fit door bars for carpets the professional way. Once you have installed the first, the task of doing the rest of the doorways in the property will be easier. Of course, bear in mind that you will need different carpet door grippers based on the scenario, carpet to carpet, carpet to vinyl etc. Are you ready to fit your door bar over the carpet? Use the saw to cut the rawlplug off at floor level, as if you were filling a hole. Repeat this with all the holes you’ve drilled. You should now have holes filled with dowel rod, ready to accept the fixing nails of your gripper bar. Get your hammer, and hammer those fixing nails into the dowel rods. As well as arranging the standard fitting service, we can also arrange for the fitter to uplift and dispose of your existing floor covering. For a small fee, the fitter will take up and dispose of your old flooring before they fit your new one. That’s one less thing to worry about!
