These strips are designed to level out the joins between floor-coverings so you'll have to make sure you have the right kind (eg. strips for hardwood to carpet transitions etc. ) Cut the strip with a hacksaw, then drill holes for the screws and affix over the join.

Measure the area you are installing the strips, cut to fit with hacksaw, use a pen to mark the holes for the screws and drill pilot holes straight down.
