| Post subject: | Carpet Clips |
Hi All, I'm getting a new carpet set this week and under the current carpet there are the factory studs. I see you can buy the "clip" and "barbed clip" from mini shops, but my question is how to these actually join onto the carpet? Does the barbed part pierce through the carpet from the top and then fold over into the lip part? Is there a trick to lining up the clips? Studs on my floor:  Barbed Clip Attachment: image.axd.jpg Clip Attachment: image2.axd.jpg

Tim, Photo shows original 50 year old clips. The ring with 3 pins/spikes is pushed into the carpet from above and the pins are bent outwards after passing through the holes in the clip. The female clip fastens to the male stud. Used an awl to pierce the carpet after placing it in its correct position. HTH, Clive |

Tim, Ring of the clip is marginally visible from above. They don't stand out in the black loop pile carpet. |
