Fixing a threshold - what's the name of this broken part?

The threshold from the laminate in my hallway to the lino in the kitchen has come off, and it doesn't look like a design that's in the shops so I'm having trouble finding the replacement part.

There's a track screwed to the floor, into which you put some plastic bits about the diameter of a rawl plug, but has a bit sticking up which slots into a runner on the threshold itself:



It's the plastic bits (blue in the picture) that are broken. Any idea what they're called? I don't want to have to replace the whole thing for not being able to source a tiny part.

those trims are sold in B&Q and many other shops, dont know the name of the part though - they are made by stikatak cost about £5 at screwfix

Not sure how accurate your (excellent) diagram is but as above, similar trims are only £5.99 eg product no 79694 at screwfix.com

Yeah, you're both talking about the same part. It's close, but the plastic thingy on these grips around a shaft on the threshold.


Whereas my plastic thingy slots between two runners on my threshold.

I think I've been on a bit of a fool's errand. I didn't realise just how cheap the whole threshold assembly is, and how easy it is to remove & replace. No wonder you can't buy a replacement for the broken part on its own when the whole thing only costs a tenner and a couple of minutes to install.

if all else fails some flexible adhesive will do the trick .
