I am looking for metal threshold that you use between carpet in one room and
floor in another room. The width between the rooms is around 6 1/2 feet. I
went to Home Depot and Lowes and they only had thresholds that were < 3ft.
I am trying to find one that is longer than 6 1/2 feet so I can cut it to
fit. I would prefer it to not have any pre-drilled holes. Also, if it
matters I am looking for a pewter type color (really any color other than
gold).

Does anyone know of a source where I can purchase something a long the lines
of this.

Amy.

Amy,
You might be pleased with a rubber reducer, it will certainly be
less expensive:

will let you scroll through the shapes. There are a lot of
colors. Look in your yellow pages for a commercial carpet layers
supply house.

Look in your local yellow pages for floor-covering installation supplier. I
routinely buy all my metals at such a place because they come in 12 foot
lengths. 12 foot cost about $2 more than a 3 foot one at the box stores.
The only gottcha is that the nails are sold separately. Still a great buy
but I am still working on using up that first 100 pak of nails.

All the ones I have seen are pre-drilled. I can't guess about the colors.

They're called 'transition strips'. Check with a local flooring installer -
they'll probably sell you what you want, or at least steer you in the right
direction.
