I will be glueing and pinning my door frame sections soon and I ordered 3" lost heads from screwfix. Should I have bought ovals for hammering through the glued M & T joints?
Thanks.

I would have thought a lost head "dowel" style nail would be best. In this application you want something strong in shear - ovals are very poor in this respect.
