I am installing a 3/4 inch hardwood floor in my aunt's high rise condo. The wood is running perpendicular to the front door and I am not sure how to finish the edge where the ends and the door meet. The floor is a glue down job on top of cork underlay if that changes anything. I am pretty sure that I just lay a piece perpendicular to the boards in front the of the door and fit the ends into that, but I could be way off. This system doesn't seem to be the way to do it though. If I do lay the perpendicular end board, do I leave an expansion gap?... does it go the length of the wall with the door? I do not think that any transition strip will do the job since the threshold is so high.

Thanks for any help, This site is great.

Get an end cap transition molding, also called a carpet reducer, sometimes.
Have it before you do the exterior door, so you know the gap you will leave.

I am still confused. The door is already there... I can not take it out. So do I leave a gap between it and the end cap? There is a thick wooden threshold in place that I can not take out since it is a condo and the association won't let you.

Are you just saying purchase it before I lay the wood to the door so that i will be able to fit it in easier? That makes sense, but do I acount for an expansion gap at all?

Thanks!
