    • 1). Install your laminate flooring in the first room, stopping at the last plank before the doorway.

    • 2). Place a scrap of flooring and pad next to the frame of your door, and mark the line with a pencil. This is your cutting line.

    • 3). Cut the frame on the marked line, using the undercut saw, a miter saw will work, but not as easily. Make the cut only as deep as the frame itself, then remove the piece of wood and discard.

    • 4). Lay a full plank of laminate against the wall and doorway of the first room, butting it up to the last piece you installed.

    • 5). Mark the plank with a pencil, even with the undercut you just made. These will be your cutting lines.

    • 6). Install the door cut plank where you left off in the first room, and finish the final line of laminate flooring.

    • 7). Measure the portion of the doorway plank that butts into the second room, and cut your starter edge to this depth.

    • 8). Start laying your second laminate floor from the doorway, measuring your final plank on both ends of the wall to fit. Continue the install as normal.
