Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Using a sharp pair of scissors, trim any fuzzy carpet fibers down to the height of the rest of your carpet.
Step2
To install a carpet bar, measure the width of the passageway with a tape measure.
Step3
Cut the carpet bar to fit the measurement using a hacksaw (if the bar is metal) or a wood saw. A hacksaw can leave sharp edges on a carpet bar. If necessary, smooth the carpet bar's cut edge using a metal file.
Step4
Place the carpet bar so it covers the area where the frayed carpet meets the other surface.
Step5
Use a hammer or screwdriver to attach the carpet bar to the floor. Make sure nails or screws are flush with the carpet bar when you're done.

on 9/9/2007 Just like the other article, this article makes no mention of bending the carpet bar "head" back, whether the carpet bar is nailed in flat or not, whether you lay the carpet bar head on the tile or not, and whether you need a piece of wood under the carpet bar to ease the height difference between tile and carpet flooring
