What should I do about this threshold?

[mousel]

Hi,

I just tore up the carpet and am replacing with the same wood I have in my kitchen. There is a wood threshold between the carpet and the kitchen wood. Should I remove it or leave it there?

If I remove it, will it damage the piece of wood it's attached to? I don't see any nail holes so I assume it's glued down? Any special tricks to removing it if that's what is recommended?

Here is a link to some photos of what I'm referring to:

Also, do those little holes in the cement need to be filled? The space I'm putting the wood is in a very low traffic hallway that is only 20 sq. ft.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Have any photos of you transition area?

I was able to remove the threshold. It was connected with a type of straight staples.

Here's what I'm left with now:

Since there is no groove to attach my next piece of wood into, I assume I take a flat side and butt it up against that piece and glue it down?

Also, how important is it that I fill those small holes?

Thanks,

Tim

I'm sorry. I didn't know the first image was yours. I can't view those Amazon images.

Concrete in the kitchen and hall with a wood threshold with wood under it? You mentioned staples.

I have wood in my kitchen, carpet in my hallway. I removed the carpet and the threshold. The pic is what I'm left with.

Wouldn't hurt to fill them, but I suppose it might be OK to leave them. May depend on the adhesive you use. Is that board straight enough to butt to? Ideally, you'd want to spline them together, or maybe cut back a few inches into the kitchen to remove the small piece. That would require an oscillating saw to cut straight back from the door jamb then pry and chisel out the narrow piece. They also make "T" moldings that overlap both sides to eliminate butting the boards.

Just demo that piece and you will either have a tongue or groove.
Fill holes with glue.

I can't see the left side of the doorway, but if the wall on the other side looks the same, you could remove the base shoe and knock out that narrow piece and start with a groove or tongue. Might just take a couple of sharp chisels and some patience.

I was able to remove the narrow piece. Thanks for the help.

Great. You may need to scrape off any remaining adhesive so the new board fits.
