    Hello, currently I have the side skirts glued to the glue that was included in the set but unfortunately this solution does not work and the whole floor is "all about".
    I would like to mount them on pegs but unfortunately those that were included in the set were thrown away.
    Could someone please indicate on which pins these slats can be mounted?

    4-5mm pins are enough

    If the strip has bottom "guides" for screw heads, use "quick assembly" pins.
    You can adjust the sandals to the right shape.
    If the strip is other than metal then the solution will be different.
    You didn't write it. It's best to give a photo of the cross-section of the strip.

    The strip has guides. Wood grain.

    The veneer on this strip is wood-like. Choose the pins based on the pins, maybe they will fit into the guide. If not, take a bit larger and adjust the file.
    If you remember those discarded, they were not too long, 4 or 5 cm.
    Quick assembly has the advantage that the screw has a relatively large thread pitch and does not have to rotate when entering the shirt.
    Give the trim a piece of carpet, this will protect the veneer from damage. On the carpeting board and rub with a hammer from the door frame to the door frame. The skirting must be parallel to the floor. The number of pins depends on the length of the strip. You probably know how many of them you have thrown away, 4-5 should be enough.

    Do not infuse anything, because these slats are ordinary MDF veneered and will strike as paper when hit.

    You do not need rectangular head screws. All you need is a simple quick assembly stud that fits into the rail.


    So for example, such as for mounting skirting boards should be ok?

    Hard to say. The head may fit, but the skirting pins are usually short. Just to get to the wall.
    Here you need to drill into the floor, so the dowel must be long enough for it to catch the slat, cross the floor and anchor in the solid layer. If you have a dry screed, you can finally screw on to it.

    If you have underfloor heating, you can make a mess.
    Then use shorter pins but more.

    It might just be best to buy a threshold strip cost approx. PLN 25 and install factory pins only that there are like plastic screws - does it seem like an exam? Side Skirts Mounting Pins: Finding Compatible Pegs for Assembly (Glue Not Working)

    If you want to invest in a new strip, I recommend metal one. There the screws are steel.

    You can buy these pins separately. In Castorama it costs about 2 zlotys, I think. Is he passing the exam? Theoretically yes. You drill a hole and drive these pegs. Holds, you don't have to put up furniture in the room until you knock. At home, I got rid of these pegs when putting the washing machine out of the bathroom. I didn't get it off the floor. Heads were cut off.
    I drilled holes and inserted ordinary universal pins.

    I don't want metal.

    Unfortunately, I didn't see them anywhere, so I asked for an alternative.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the challenges of mounting side skirts that were initially glued but failed to adhere properly. Users suggest using 4-5mm quick assembly pins, especially if the skirts have bottom guides for screw heads. Recommendations include adjusting the pins to fit the guides and ensuring the installation is parallel to the floor. Some users mention the possibility of using clips for installation, while others advise against using metal components. Alternatives such as purchasing a threshold strip with factory pins are also discussed, along with the option to buy pins separately from stores like Castorama. The importance of considering the type of flooring, especially with underfloor heating, is highlighted.

FAQ

TL;DR: Use 4–5 mm pegs to mount rail‑guided threshold/side strips; “4–5mm pins are enough.” If glue failed, choose quick‑assembly pegs sized to the guide and protect MDF veneer. [Elektroda, zdzichra, post #17010438]

Why it matters: This helps DIYers fix loose thresholds without replacing flooring or damaging fragile MDF veneers.

Quick Facts

What are “quick‑assembly” pins, and when should I use them?

Use them when the strip has bottom guides for screw heads. You can adjust the head shape to fit the rail. If the strip isn’t metal, the approach differs, so share a cross‑section photo for best advice. [Elektroda, Radiokiller, post #17010448]

How long should the dowels be when fixing through the floor?

Use dowels long enough to pass the strip, cross the floor, and anchor in a solid layer. Skirting‑board pins are usually too short. With a dry screed, you can screw directly into it. [Elektroda, telecaster1951, post #17014665]

How many pegs do I need per strip, and why?

Use 4–5 pegs per strip. Quick‑assembly screws have a coarse pitch that grips well and reduces spinning. “Relatively large thread pitch” improves bite. [Elektroda, Radiokiller, post #17011241]

Will hammering damage wood‑grain MDF threshold strips?

Yes. Do not strike MDF‑veneered strips directly; they can crack “like paper.” Use protective padding if tapping is unavoidable. [Elektroda, saskia, post #17012488]

How do I mount a wood‑grain MDF strip with quick‑assembly pins (3 steps)?

  1. Size the rail and choose pins that fit; if needed, pick slightly larger pins and file the heads to suit.
  2. Target 40–50 mm dowels and plan 4–5 pegs per strip. Keep the strip parallel to the floor.
  3. Place carpet over the veneer and tap along the length from frame to frame to seat it. [Elektroda, Radiokiller, post #17011241]

Can I use skirting‑board mounting pins for this job?

The head might fit, but those pins are usually too short. You must drill the floor and use dowels long enough to anchor securely. With dry screed, you can screw instead. [Elektroda, telecaster1951, post #17014665]

What if I have underfloor heating beneath the threshold?

Avoid deep drilling near heating pipes, or you can “make a mess.” Use more pins of shorter length to reduce risk. [Elektroda, Radiokiller, post #17014686]

Can I buy replacement pegs after throwing the originals away?

Yes. Replacement pins are sold separately; reported price was about 2 PLN per piece. Drill a hole and drive the pegs; universal pins can also work. [Elektroda, telecaster1951, post #17014752]

Is buying a new strip with factory pins a good fix, and what does it cost?

It’s a viable option. A threshold strip with factory plastic screws was reported at about 25 PLN. This restores the complete mounting kit if originals are missing. [Elektroda, diabeel, post #17014712]

What do the “guides” or “rails” on a strip do?

They are bottom channels that accept screw heads for quick‑assembly fastening. Choose pins whose heads match and seat into that rail. [Elektroda, Radiokiller, post #17010448]

What drilling is needed before driving the pegs?

Pre‑drill holes at the marked positions, then drive the quick‑assembly pegs. If factory pegs fail, standard universal dowels can replace them. [Elektroda, telecaster1951, post #17014752]
