I'm not sure I picture the exact situation but can you line it up to slide
in straight (rather than picking it up and snapping it in )and then tap it
home with a wooden block and hammer? I know that works on Pergo, it takes
some banging but it goes together that way too..I never used any other brand
so check and see if this works on your kind. You can also use a metal bar
shaped like a long flat Z to hook the edge and tap it together, this works
to install that last piece against a wall where you can't lift it up and
push it in.
See the installation instructions for the material your using....in fact I
took a look..

We have Pergo in one room (done by a professional installer) about a year
ago and it came out great so we thought we would try our hand at laying
laminate.

We selected a 55 sq foot office for trial since if we messed it up it
would not really matter. There are two doors in the office, one to enter
from the hall and then one on the right hand side once you enter.

We laid it starting at the left wall and it went pretty fast up to within
one board of the right wall. On that wall is a door that enters a
bedroom. We eventually want to run the laminate through the door so we did
not want to cut a piece and then cover it with a threshold.

So, we cut the last piece such that it had a protrusion that fit into the
door entry way. Well there was no way for us to connect it to the
previous piece because it must be lifted and pressed downward and the door
way prevented that.

What are we doing wrong? Should we have started at the doorway and worked
our way to the left wall?


Also, we bought the 7 mm stuff and we have already chipped top layer in
about 7 different spots. Do not recall having the problem with the pergo.
Any thoughts?



Thanks in advance,

James
