For 15mm architrave best too use 32 mm plus nails. Pine them to the doorframe

Eyeless headless tacks then knock them home with a punch.

Clinton · Answer

Inch and a half ovals. I'm assuming you're not using a nail gun and hammering them in by hand so would pay to use inch and a half lost head nails.
You would bend a lot of ovals as the hammer slips off the head of the ovals easily if you're not experienced. 
A lost head nail has a flatter surface area on the head so for someone less experienced you would get less bending of the nail when hammering it.

What`s needed and what i use is 30mm Oval nails. Once all is nailed in, don`t forget to punch nails below surface of timbers, this will help the painter greatly.

Vict · Answer

You will use second fix nail gun and fix the architrave with 32mm nails.

Emil · Answer

There are a few different nails you can use to fix architrave. If you are manually nailing with a hammer, then 40mm oval nails, or 40mm lost head nails are the best choice. If you are using a nail gun, then a second fix nail gun with 38-50mm brads is the tool you need
