    Hi,
    Guidance required please - I have a portion of the architrave missing above a door, I have tried searching online to find the matching profile, but to no avail. I have attached a picture of the profile and below are the measurements:

    width = 69mm
    depth = 22mm

    Can anyone guide as to which type of architrave this is and where I can find it.

    Thank you

    looks like "lambs tongue" - take it to your local timber merchant, they'll be your best bet

    If you do a Google search for lamb's tongue architrave, there is quite a range of profiles. This one looks quite close (and is available in 69mm width) but is MDF:

    It's probably unlikely that an exact match can be found though so it's probably best to replace the architrave for the whole door.

    There are timber merchants who will machine you a moulding to match a sample, but there is often a "set up" cost as well as a cost per metre so it can be expensive for small orders.

    Thank you for your help, it's off to the local timber merchants as the first point of call, barring that it'll be a change to all the architraves around the door to match
