Product Information

With this easy-to-follow 4-step guide, you should now be ready to fit your door bar over the carpet. A forewarning: Always wear safety goggles. Carpet gripper rods are covered in sharp nails and pins that can easily become airborne when levered off the floor. Be careful, it’s not worth losing an eye to a carpet gripper. It’s also a good idea to wear gloves; the nails and pins are sharp and you don’t want to cut yourself.

Magic Gripper Door Clamp® ™ This patented but simple effective British invention is very simple to set up and uses the weight of the product to clamp securely. If you’ve chosen to go down the DIY route, make sure you read this article in full. It will help ensure your project is a success. It will also help you minimise mistakes and keep frustrations to a minimum. The normal method of fitting on wood is to simply nail into the floor boards approx. 15mm away from the skirting (some fitters like them closer). It sounds silly, but ensure the concrete floor you’re going to be drilling into is cleaned and clear of dirt and debris. You’re going to be making marks on the floor, and you don’t want to get your pencil marks confused with existing markings. 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.

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! Using your pencil, draw marks on the floor where the nails are positioned – in other words, exactly where you want your gripper rod installed. You can find them at most hardware stores. However, it’s often suggested that buying them online can lead to much bigger savings.

You should always use new gripper rods when you install a new carpet. Old gripper rods can become weak, water damaged and hammered out of shape when you install and remove them. Meaning they won’t hold your carpet in place effectively.

It’s worth investing in a good underlay. Not only does it affect how your flooring looks and feels, it can also increase its longevity. It can also help to significantly reduce your energy bills by trapping heat and increasing insulation. Space the nails about 150mm apart around the edges, but 225mm apart in the centre. It’s a good idea to start in the centre of one edge and work across the board to the other side.

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. When you’re happy with the position of your marks, use your drill and drill bit to drill into the concrete floor. Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of any concrete dust. Not only is it unpleasant to breathe in, you’ll want the area clear of debris to ensure a secure installation. When you are ready, place the door bar where it needs to be. The ideal position is central over the threshold with the join of the two carpets in the middle of the bar. Using your pencil, mark the screw holes, then put the bar to one side and drill each of the holes. Step Four – Firmly screw the door bar into place

Measuring carpet for stairs may seem fiddly, but when it comes to stairs or steps, the process is similar.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. You need a double-edged door bar with grips on both sides to connect carpets in two different rooms in the doorway. Use this off-cut from the last sheet in the first row to start the second row and carry on in the same way. This reduces waste and also helps by ensuring the joints are staggered. Just as important as measuring the width of the carpet gripper for your doorway is measuring the gap between the floor and the bottom of your door. This is to ensure that you can close your door with the door bar in place. It goes without saying that if the door bar is taller than the gap, you will not be able to close your door. First, you need to select the best carpet gripper rods for your type of floor. At interfloor, we have a wide range of carpet gripper rods to suit all types of flooring. The above tool will help you choose the best gripper for your needs.
