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.
