The metal bit between rooms - what's it called?

We have laminate in our lounge and hall way. Between them around the door is a metal thing covering the gap between laminate or whatever purpose it serves.

Anybody know what this is called ?

    Sometimes also known as a transition bar/strip.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Wicked thanks. Door bar and door strip seem to bring a good qty of results.

    Trying to find one like this if anybody has seen this style?

    Design wise it looks perfect.

    But it has a funky groove underneath - the one we're replacing is flat and stuck down :(

    Google 'threshold strip profile' or similar terms to find a supplier who stocks different ... Profiles.

    I would have thought any decent flooring supplier would have oodles of them

    Try browsing google images rather than text results
  • May be stuck down, may be done with a ratchet type plastic groove (difficult to describe, and my attempt was fairly rubbish) get down to B and Q or similar and have a look in the laminate floor section, and you'll easily find similar items.
    Unless it is damaged or discontinued - ignore any discount of over 25%
