I just put in laminate flooring in my living room. I have moldings to transition to the kitchen and bathroom which are tiles, but I don't know how to transition to the front door and the screen door. I have base boards which will hide the little gap in between the walls but I don't know what to do with the front door and the screen door. How would I hide the gap for that?

Thanks in advance.

Quarter round or similar will usually work there. Laminates expand/contract much more than wood floors, so you still need that space, 1/4" more or less.
I thought of using the quarter round, but several things:

* I would need to trim it in order to fit underneath front door base and the screen door base.

* And since this is a passageway, I'm concerned that people would step on it, therefore, breaking it off the wall.
