The fastest way to find them is to copy the code off your carton end, check it against the FlooringFX Pattern Guides, and post a free request on the [Discontinued Flooring Finder](https://flooringfx.com/match-listings/). As of 2026-11-05 the Match board has open TrafficMaster requests for Baytown Oak HL704, Saratoga Hickory 34089 and African Chestnut. ## Step 1: Work out which TrafficMaster floor you have TrafficMaster is a Home Depot house brand, and the name covers several product families that do not fit together: laminate with a fiberboard core, Allure vinyl plank (GripStrip adhesive edges or click-lock Allure Ultra), and the older Dimensions glueless line with a Uniclic lock. A plank from one family will not lock into another, even when the color name is the same. Look for a carton end first. The [TrafficMaster carton decoder](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/trafficmaster/) shows where the model string, store SKU and UPC sit. If you only have a loose plank, measure its thickness, photograph the face and the back, and note whether the edge clicks or has an adhesive strip. ## Step 2: Match your code to a known color These codes are documented on FlooringFX from owners' cartons and Match listings (checked 2026-11-05). Copy your own string exactly rather than trusting a photo that looks close. - **Baytown Oak** laminate: model `HL704`. See the [Baytown Oak HL704 guide](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-baytown-oak-hl704-discontinued/). - **Saratoga Hickory** laminate: `34089`. See the [Saratoga Hickory 34089 guide](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-saratoga-hickory-34089-discontinued/). - **Lakeshore Pecan** laminate: `35947`. See the [Lakeshore Pecan guide](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-lakeshore-pecan-laminate-discontinued/). - **Hampton Honey Oak**: identified by UPC `765894165180`. See the [Hampton Honey Oak guide](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-hampton-honey-oak-765894165180-discontinued/). - **Dimensions African Chestnut** (Uniclic): carton marks `8436004228287` and store number `281-454`. See the [African Chestnut guide](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-dimensions-african-chestnut-8436004228287-discontinued/). - **Medium Red Oak** (Original line): `MRO004`, with the letter O, not a zero. See the [MRO004 decoder page](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/trafficmaster/mro004-medium-red-oak/). If your color is not here, the [Discontinued TrafficMaster colors](https://flooringfx.com/discontinued-trafficmaster-colors/) reference lists more retired names with their codes. ## Step 3: Check who is already looking, or already selling Open requests tell you two things: whether spare boxes are scarce, and who to contact if you are the one holding extras. On 2026-11-05 the board showed: - [Listing #23](https://flooringfx.com/listing/23/): wanted, Baytown Oak HL704, 2 boxes, ZIP 34787 area. - [Listing #31](https://flooringfx.com/listing/31/): wanted, Saratoga Hickory 34089, 1 or 2 boxes, ZIP 37215 area. [Listing #36](https://flooringfx.com/listing/36/) asks for the same color near ZIP 19055. - [Listing #18](https://flooringfx.com/listing/18/): wanted, African Chestnut with the Uniclic lock, 3 boxes, ZIP 28625 area. Requests do get filled. An earlier request for three boxes of Dimensions African Chestnut closed after a match, and the write-up is in [Three boxes of African Chestnut, matched](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-dimensions-african-chestnut-3-boxes-matched/). ## Step 4: Post your own request Use [Find or sell boxes](https://flooringfx.com/post/) and include the brand, the color name as printed, the code from Step 2, how many boxes you need, and your ZIP. A carton-end photo helps a seller confirm the match before anyone drives or ships. FlooringFX does not sell flooring or broker the deal. Your email stays private, and replies come to you. Free to list everywhere, no future price. ## When no boxes turn up If the color stays scarce, the usual fallback is to move original planks from a closet or under furniture into the visible area and fill the hidden spot with a close substitute, or to change floors at a doorway. [Running out of flooring mid-project](https://flooringfx.com/running-out-of-flooring-matching-discontinued-laminate-vinyl/) covers those options. ## Questions ### Can Home Depot order a discontinued TrafficMaster color? Usually not once it is dropped from the catalog. Leftover cartons from other owners are the realistic source. ### Will a newer TrafficMaster color with the same name match? Not always. Replacement colors sometimes reuse words with a different tone or a different product family, so compare the model string, not the name. ### Which page should I read for TrafficMaster laminate construction? [TrafficMaster laminate flooring](https://flooringfx.com/trafficmaster-laminate-flooring/) explains the layers and older carton codes. To post a request step by step, see [I need TrafficMaster flooring](https://flooringfx.com/i-need-trafficmaster-flooring/). **Short a few boxes of this floor? Or sitting on extras?** Always free to ask. Always free to list. Open requests and spare boxes show up side by side on the Match board (40 open right now).
