Context - bought my own house, first time doing laminate click flooring. Everything has gone fine until I get to these stupid doorways.

I undercut the doorway as much as I could but it’s going into a cupboard so hard to cut all the way through, I’ve had to slide this plank under the doorway but therefore I cannot click it in from the right side as I usually do, I’ve smacked as hard as I can from both sides of this gap with both planks, using a block and a pull bar.

Does this gap matter? I would take the plank out but I fear it’s literally impossible as it’s now wedged pretty well under the doorway

Thank you

Hi this is my first time doing my own flooring in my first purchased house - I did a lot of research on flooring and have managed to get into the groove of laying it okay (leaving at least 10mm gaps around - although unfortunately in some places it’s way more due to the plasterboard not going all the way to the floor)

I’ve removed the floor joiner at the door that’s pictured here btw, and I have a multitool to undercut the doorway to allow the floor to slide underneath (haven’t done it yet for this doorway) I’m struggling to see how I will get this plank to lay down as the doorway is in the way.. I have created a “cut out” area but obviously don’t want to cut it out as then there will be nothing to slide underneath the door.

These are 12mm thick planks and I need to click them in by raising them first at 45 degree angle.. and this plank I’m struggling with clicks into the one to its right side.

In hindsight I should have maybe started with the doorway and gone to the flat wall but we’re here now!

Advice appreciated thank you
