tapping block Steps: 1. Place a tile at the edge of the doorway and make a reference line. Measure the distance out from the wall. Mark out the same distance at the other end of the wall, and snap a chalk line. 2. Pry off shoe molding and unscrew transition strip. The door jamb will need to be cut down so the flooring will fit under it. Use a jamb saw with a piece of the flooring as your guide. 3. The first panel should line up in the doorway. Measure and mark the piece for the portion that needs to be cut out. 4. Use a table saw for straight cuts and a jigsaw for notched cuts. 5. Snap the first two pieces together, and slide them into place so they fit snugly in the doorway. Continue to click together the rest of the flooring. Use a hammer and tapping block to make the seams disappear. Resources: flooring
