Architrave and Door Linings

John Whitworth · 2010-01-23T12:08:10+00:00

Firstly, is 'architrave' the correct term for the ornate part that goes around the door frame?Secondly, having put up a stud wall, and then fitted the door, I notice that:a) the door lining extends past the plasterboard, andb) the amount which it extends by varies from about 2mm at the bottom to 7mm at the top.The door is hung well, and operates perfectly - so the lining is probably true, but the stud wall verticals may have been a little out.Anyway - when I look at the existing doors in the house, the 'architraving' always looks so perfect. So my question is, how do I add them to my door, getting around the graduated protusion of my door lining? Is it a case of fit it , with padding as appropriate, and then fill the gap? Or is there another, easier way that I've yet to discover?CheersJW
