When I'm fitting laminate flooring and it runs at 90 degrees to a doorway, it's pretty straight forward handling the doorway: trim the architrave, cut a profile and slide under.
However, when the flooring is parallel to the doorway I've yet to think of an easy solution.
To avoid leaving a gap either side I cut under the door lining and slide a piece under. I then cut the tongues off a second piece, butt it up and then slide both back along about 10mm so no gaps show by either door lining. It's a lot of mucking about though, has anyone got a better method?
many thanks.

Vonnell, you are on the right track.
Sliding the last piece in the gap is the simplest way to do this. Cut it to size, don't cut the piece in front of it

Cheers flooringman01. Do you measure up so that the pieces are only in the doorway and not projecting into the room?
