Default Laminated flooring problem

I'm disabled so I had a contractor laydown laminated flooring
in my kitchen - three years ago. He put in a 2" metal threshold
between the floor and the carpeting.

The problem is that the laminate is starting to chip. When I
removed the threshold, I saw the cause of the problem. Te
contractor failed to cut under the door frame and the threshold
does not extend far enough to get a good grip on the laminate.

Fixing it:
- I have yet to find a 2-1/2" threshold, but I will keep
looking. HomeDepot has only 2" and 3". Any ideas?

- I'm going to have to cut under the door frame. Other
than buying a Multimate or one of its competitors, any
ideas will be appreciated.

I love alt.home.repair.

Want free tax advice, see misc.taxes.moderated. It's
almost as good as alt.home.repair - no spam, no off topic!
