T-Bar Reducer (flooring)

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me as I'm having a bit of a nightmare, and I've conducted a search on this site and not found the answer.

In my hallway I've laid down solid wood flooring (15mm thick) and I need to put in some sort of divider between that and the carpet or vinyl in the other rooms leading off from the hallway.

I bought a T-Bar Reducer from Homebase and the instructions are, frankly, useless. So, has anyone fit one of these things and is able to explain it to me? Alternatively, are there any other solutions to this?

Like I say, it's a 15mm wood flooring in the hallway which, because of the thickness, is quite a lot higher off the floor than the floor in the other rooms (vinyl in two, carpet in the other two).

Any thoughts/suggestions, gratefully received. Thanks!

sounds to me like you need some sort of ramp profile. the ones i always fit are made by (i think anyway) UNIKA

With solid wood floors you would normally finish off with a threshold
