How to install laminate flooring around doors and cabinets.

It's easy to click boards together, but how you handle transition areas makes the difference between a professional and amateur looking job. In this video I'll show you how to tackle two common challenge areas; installing laminate around doors, and installing laminate next to cabinets. If you wondering how to install the last row of laminate next to the wall, you guessed it, this technique works there too. This applies to click lock laminate or vinyl flooring.

Disclaimer: I'm not a professional installer but this is a technique that works well for me. Cutting the lip may or may not void the manufacturer warranty so you may want to check on that. However, I've heard nothing but negative reports anytime anyone has tried to warranty a laminate floor, and I've never had one come apart, so I figure what do I have to loose. In fact years ago I installed floors without snap locks and the EVERY panel was glued. In my opinion a glued joint is actually stronger than a snap lock.
