Default Laminate and uneven floor

I've started laying my tile effect laminate and so far it's gone OK,
but I am now next to a rather awkward doorbar and I wondered what
other people might do.

Basically we knocked 3 rooms into one and had to screed some floors
areas to bring up the levels and flatten them. However the doorway I
now need to put flooring up to is right at the end of the screed, and
so there is a big level change on the existing door bar.

Here's a pictu

I can see only 3 ways to make this look OK, but I'm no floorer so
maybe there are other tricks?
1) Cut all floor ends neatly and use (coloured?) silicone to fill the
expansion gap?
2) Cut them neatly and have NO expansion gap at this door bar (rest of
room has a gap all round)
3) Put a metal door bar in - but I think this will look daft
4) Add a low profile edge strip into an expansion gap
5) Lift up the existing door bar and machine it down

The door bar is currently a piece of hardwood and is firmly anchored
under the door frame/architrave. So getting this out to say route out
a lip on the rear would be tricky.

For a low profile edge this is the sort of thing I thought of:
