that gets the 8" side together but thats only 1/2 the problem solvedLock it together and slide it under as one pc.
Ok, first of all I am installing this in my own home, so flame me:clap:
Simple. To get under the door jambs, the 'locking' part is cut away (only near the jambs). then you set the pieces with glue on the butt of each edge. Nail in place if desired. Hide nailhead with putty and sand flush.Ok, first of all I am installing this in my own home, so no flaming:clap:
I have Khars T&G free floating that is 7 7/8 wide. To have it lock together it needs to be at a 45' angle and then pushed in to the other piece and then flat to the floor.
So my question is how do you get it under door jambs if it needs to be at a 45 degree angle first???
Nice find. so much easier than trying to describe it with words alone.

The core and locks will crack and be damaged by forcing it in like that.:shutup:I haven't seen the laminate that won't lock up on the flat with the proper 'convincing' (a framing hammer and pine block).
Yep, what he said. I keep a wide, very sharp chisel for just such a job. Titebond II works well on plywood cores and I use up all of my leftover Wilsnart Blue Fusion on the laminate stuff.The core and locks will crack and be damaged by forcing it in like that.:shutup:
It is common knowledge for those that install a lot of rotating lock design, that in order to flat lay it, the lip on the planks mating, gets shaved off, and the planks then T&G glued, and tapped into place.:thumbup:
