Looking for some solutions to torn carpet under a door. The dog chewed a 1 1/2" strip under the door the full length of the doorway. Could I use a carpet to carpet transition? If I were to replace the carpet it would cost $400. Thanks

An option would be to take a piece of wood and bevel both sides, cut to lenght of opening and glue it to the floor. It may not look normal but, it's cheaper than $400. Another option might be to even up both sides and seam in a patch. Matching the carpet would be the biggest challenge.

Do you have a closet that you could salvage carpet from to make a patch?

I think this is what kok328 had in mind.

I bought an oak transition for flooring of equal height at home depot. It works ok. I could have used a piece 2 1/2" wide instead of 1 3/4". Some of the carpet is not covered by the transition but at least I can't see the subfloor. Can anyone suggest a way to protect the edges of the carpet? Can I staple the carpet or would some sort of glue/adhesive work? Can anyone suggest a product?
