How do I install a threshold on a concrete floor?

[The Night Owl]

I just installed laminate flooring and now I have to install a threshold. The flooring is over a concrete floor so I'm not sure how to nail down the threshold. Any ideas?

1. some sort of adhesive?

Like liquid nails. Consult the folks that you bought the floor from.

3. Heavy duty liquid nails

about $ 3.00 per tub. The other way is to anchor it with screws. You will need a heave duty drill /rotor hammer /concrete lead liners ,you match up the holes in the threshold and drill holes in the floor,place lead liners in the hole ,put threshold over that and screw it in. The package of lead liners comes with screws and will tell what size concrete bit you will need. Or you can buy a kit with the drill bit . Ask for assistance at your hardware store.

If the threshold is wide and beveled on both sides you may be able to cut a piece of ply wood to fit into the gap in the center, and if it sits flush on the concrete ,glue the ply wood down to the floor ,let it dry than use small screws and glue to secure the threshold down.

4. tapcon

love these things. not cheap, but....

i have used them to hang stuff on my outside walls, where there is only furring and then lathe and plaster. you can sink them into the brick, and they will hold up heavy stuff. no fuss, no lead anchors. for a little extra grip, i dip them in liquid nails before driving.

5. Yep. I went with the Tapcon anchors.

So far, the threshold is... well... holding. I did, however, have trouble drilling through the concrete with my crappy ancient drill even though I used the recommended Tapcon bit.
