carpet threshold trip with no screwholes..how to remove

[steveo3002]

as above really...need to get one up as laying some vynil , tried some gentle levering and it doesnt want to move

anyone give me some clues how to have it up please

More aggressive levering.

Probably in with those plastic plugs captured in a channel underneath.

Almost a certainty you will break the plugs.

Either it's glued or nailed, be more brutal

ours has a channel with a lip on the inside top the cap has a bead on the bottom and it just just clips in . use a couple of bolster chissels one either side and prise it out .using anything smaller buckles the top

Hammer and bolster chisel. Probably glued down with gripfill

 

[steveo3002]

so its most likley a screwed /glued down channel , then the top bit clips on?

 

[steveo3002]

ive busted it off was a one piece screwed down

how do i refited the carpet side with a knee stretcher thing?

 

[brightspark]

generaly just tuck the carpet in, use a a thin 3 inch bolster to push the tufts in thats all carpet fitters use but they have nice shiny chrome plated ones wont need a kicker unless the carpet has shrunk i refit loads after having them up for doing wiring

 

[steveo3002]

Right grabbed this strip from the shops...would it be right thinking I tap it down to pinch the carpet?

 

[brightspark]

no dont do that just slip the carpet in the grippers stop it pulling out just tuck carpet in with the bolster chissel
