I think they're called moldings. The edges of the floor that border the laminate and another edge, say ceramic tile, and the moldings in the doorways. They're starting to lift up and off, after 2 years. What do I do to repair that? Is there a glue specifically for it?
Are you talking about the quarter round molding? Usually they are attached with small nails. Most of the time they are installed with an air nailer, but you can hand nail them too. Or hot glue.
No, I don't think they're the quarter rounds... don't those install against the wall? They're used to make a transition to other surfaces and the doorways. they're not nailed, I'm assuming glued. I just need the name of the glue/product I can apply to make them lay down again.
I think you're referring to the floor moldings that are used in doorways to cover the exposed edges of the different flooring in different rooms. The best adhesive probably varies according to the flooring in the rooms. You can go to Home Depot or Lowe's and ask the salesman which adhesive to use.

Better known as transition strips. If your subfloor is wood, they're usually nailed or screwed into place. If your subfloor is concrete, they're usually screwed into place; using plastic anchors that are driven into holes that were drilled with a masonry bit. If they were glued- thats probably means it was done hurriedly, and probably not correctly.
The problem was that the gap between the laminate and the bottom of the door jamb was too wide so when it got stepped on, it dipped down, pulling the nails loose.
The fix was to put in a filler strip and nail through that.
Transition strips on laminate floors come in two parts; one part is screwed into the subfloor or concrete floor. the second part just snaps on top. Is thr top part the only part that's loose? As Fat Freddy mentioned, if the floor isn't level, the transition strip may gap up and will need to be remedied.

Yes, just the top part is loose. What exactly is the remedy?
