Tack strip contains angled pins that grip the carpet backing. It is installed near walls, doorways, stairs, and other fixed edges without fastening through the carpet surface. The strip must be positioned correctly so the carpet can be tucked and held securely. Damaged, loose, or improperly placed tack strip can contribute to loose edges, visible pins, or installation failure.
