Abstract
A carpet tack strip threshold for installation in the threshold area of double doorways of the type commonly found in hotels and motels and the like. The carpet tack strip threshold has a wide central portion which separates opposing cavities designed for receiving and tucking the edges of the carpet from adjoining rooms. Carpet tack strips nailed down through opposing receiving wings secure the carpet along the carpet tack strip threshold. The carpet tack strip threshold provides a smooth walkway across the threshold between adjoining rooms connected by the double doors in hotels and motels.
