Answer: I hope I'm understanding your question correctly. The area where the two floors meet is called a threshold. It sounds as if you need a threshold to put over the nails. I would recommend wood to match the wood floor, assuming there is already a metal piece securing the carpeting. Usually there is a thin metal threshold holding down the carpet and, depending on your floor height, you can put a wood one up to it. You just don't want to create too much of a step up or you'll be tripping on that. Any home improvement store will have thresholds. I hope this helps.
