Depends which bits you mean?? The main part, in the wall is the door frame and consists of two (upright) STANDARDS with a LINTEL across the top. The edges of these are covered by architraves or facings which are purely decorative. The hinges are fixed to the standard and 'Stops' are fitted all round, which the door 'stops' against when closed.
Just saw the 'What A..............' which I thought was a typo! So the answer is ARCHITRAVE!! I'll leave the rest anyway.

A door is fixed to a frame, the trim which covers the join between the frame and the surrounding wall is called the architrave. The sides are generally know as jambs and the top is known as the head. These terms can also be applied to windows.

The word architrave is also used to refer to the mouldings (or other elements) framing a door, window or other rectangular opening. See also archivolt. - wikipedia
A door jamb is the vertical portion of the frame onto which a door is secured. Most types of door fasteners and deadbolts extend into a recess in the doorjamb when engaged, making the strength of the door jambs vitally important to the overall security of the door

The Part that physically holds the door etc is the 'Frame', the decorative wood that conceals the frame, join to wall etc is the 'Architrave'.

CASING is the correct term. It comes 1/2 thick by 2.25 wide or 9/16 thick by 2.25 wide and is avail in Colonial, Modern and other styles at Lowes or the Depot for around $.60 cents a foot.
