Pro-fit Innovations Magic Gripper Adjustable Door Clamp 2 Pack

Product Information

The first step is choosing the correct door bar for your needs. There are many different types, and in the case of laying carpet, it has to be suitable for carpet. In other words, you don’t want to buy a single-edged bar which is used when carpeting one room and another room in vinyl. However, if you have a solid floor like concrete or asphalt, we always recommend a bead of Gripfill as well as nails (the nails are designed to go into concrete). 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. Any parent knows that it's important to try and keep most doors open when you have energetic young children running around the house to try and prevent the risk of injury. Not only can youngsters run into them, resulting in a nasty bump on the head, they can also easily trap their little fingers in the hinges. Whether you fit your carpet yourself or hire a professional, you might find that your carpet sheds some fibres. This is totally normal. Regular vacuuming, daily if possible during the first few weeks, will solve this issue. A vacuum cleaner fitted with a beater bar and/or brushes is recommended for cut pile carpets and one without a beater bar or brushes is best for loop pile carpets.

Gripperrods took over from the old fashioned way of fitting “ring and pin”. Gripperrods are actually the brand name developed by Interfloor a plywood section. Parents don't always want to screw catches or other fixtures directly into the door or skirting board so the Door Gripper presents the perfect alternative. 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? You should place the Gripper Rods approximately 10mm away from the skirting boards with the pins pointing towards the skirting boards. Getting the right size is also essential for aesthetics, so carefully measure the width of the doorway. Put your door bar against the frame of the door on the floor and make a mark for the end of your doorway onto the bar.With this easy-to-follow 4-step guide, you should now be ready to fit your door bar over the carpet. If you have just laid your flooring and are looking to change it, then you should be fine to reuse the one you already have down. Once you’ve chosen the flooring that’ll transform your home, it’s time to get it fitted! We’d always recommend using a professional flooring fitter for the best possible finish. The benefits of installing them are to ensure that where the flooring in both rooms meets (the doorway) is held securely. They are essential for safety. Without the bars, the rough edges of the two carpets would be seen and would pose a huge risk of tripping. In time, when continuously walking through the doorway, the carpet will fray and wear down. Not to mention where the carpets meet in the doorway would look unsightly.

You need a double-edged door bar with grips on both sides to connect carpets in two different rooms in the doorway. 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! Once lined up, use a power drill, if possible, to fix the screws firmly into place, making sure the screws are straight and secure and have gone all the way down into place. If you don’t get the screws in evenly and all the way down, they can become a trip hazard and/or stop the door from closing properly.

Push the sheets together and nail the edges where the sheets meet first. When you finish the first row of boards the last one will need to be cut to size. 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. Once the carpet is fitted, there may be a slight odour which may be caused by the carpet or the underlay. This is called "off-gassing" and is due to chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used in household items such as carpet adhesive, paint, and pressed-wood furniture. They evaporate at room temperature, which is why your carpet begins to smell once it is laid in your house. Here’s how you do it… place your gripper rod on the floor and make a mark with a pencil underneath where the nails are lined up with the floor. After you’ve marked up the space for your carpet gripper, you’ll need to drill a hole and insert a dowel rod. You can then use the dowel rod as a rawl plug for the carpet gripper’s nails. Once you’ve neatly inserted the dowel rod, you just have to hammer the nails in, and you’re done. A perfect installation that will hold your new carpet nicely. How to remove carpet gripper?
