I installed laminate wood floors in my house, I left carpet in the bedrooms, but how do i secure it back to the floor properly? I have the transition pieces from the wood to carpet, but I need to secure the carpet first. Please, help.

Carpet tack strip.
A wooden strip with nails and hooks in it. Any floor store, Lowes and HD all have it.


Where all stupid, just in different subjects.

joecaption made the best suggestion, but if that won't work for you you can also nail directly through the molding while pulling the carpet under the transition.
