At Masonite, we’re committed to crafting doors that make both life and living better.
The doors on — and in — your home are more than just entry points; they play a massive role in functionality, comfort and style. Doors can create quieter spaces, increase the flow of natural light between rooms, save space, add an extra layer of security, protect against the elements and even improve a home’s energy efficiency.
The truth is that doors impact you and your home more than you might think. Here at Masonite, we know the ability doors have to make a difference in homeowners’ lives. It's why we're committed to engineering doors that go above and beyond the every day — doors that serve a purpose and make both living and life better. Our tagline, Doors That Do More™, embodies our commitment to creating doors that truly improve how people live. Keep reading to see what we mean.
There are so many ways a door can improve your home. Here are 6 things Masonite doors do exceptionally well.
Natural light can completely transform a space, making it feel brighter, more open, and welcoming. It can also help the people, pets, and plants living there feel happier and healthier. Our VistaGrande Flush-Glazed Full Lite Fiberglass Doors are designed to maximize the flow of natural light through a home, allowing up to 18% more light than doors with traditional glass frames. They’re a stunning way to brighten a dark front hall or create the perfect patio.
Built to last, these exterior doors are made of fiberglass that resists rot, rust and warping, ensuring long-term durability. With a range of customizable options including clear or textured glass, a variety of finishes, colors and sidelite configurations, the VistaGrande is as versatile as it is beautiful.
Doors with glass don’t just have to be exterior doors, either. Use French doors inside your home to let even more light flow between spaces, creating a bright, cohesive feel throughout. The 10 Lite Wood Door, for example, brings a timeless and natural elegance to any room. Its striking real wood design is as durable as it is beautiful, and it’s highly customizable with options for wood species, panel designs and glass configurations. Used as a single swinging door, as a pair or even a barn door, interior doors with glass are a stylish way to enhance the light and ambiance in your home.

Privacy matters — especially in a busy household. That’s where our solid core interior doors shine. Built with 70% more material than our standard hollow core doors, they're a stronger, heavier and quieter solution for your home. Their added density helps keep the noise made in one room out of others, so you can create quieter spaces that work for everyone. The added material also makes them more durable, for whatever life might throw at them. For a sleek, timeless look that’ll complement just about any home interior, our Lincoln Park 1 Panel is just one of many solid core doors that can help reduce noise in your home.

When it comes to style, the right door can make a big impact — whether it’s seamlessly complementing your home’s look or making a bold statement. With options ranging from sleek, modern designs to timeless classics, and customizable features like materials, finishes, colors, sizes, sidelite configurations and glass designs, Masonite doors provide endless possibilities to elevate style in your home.
Take our wood doors for example. There’s something timeless about the beauty of natural wood. Masonite’s 3/4 Lite 6 Lite Wood Door brings warmth and character to your home with a natural, authentic style that’s hard to match. Offering exceptional versatility, it comes with more customizable options than most doors, including a range of wood species, panel designs, and glass configurations to suit any aesthetic.
Plus, this door doesn’t just look good — it’s built to last. A DuraStyle wood door made from torrefied wood and equipped with AquaSeal™ technology, it stands up to water, moisture and the elements, ensuring your home’s entrance stays beautiful for years to come. Whether you’re creating a cozy Craftsman vibe or adding a touch of elegance to a transitional home, our collection of wood doors not only elevate style, but will also add long-lasting durability to your home.
Space is often at a premium in any home. That’s where stylish solutions like our sliding barn door kits come in. Unlike traditional swinging doors that can take up valuable square footage, these sleek doors glide smoothly and silently along a track, saving up to 14 square feet of floor space. With an all-in-one kit that includes all the necessary hardware, Masonite barn door kits can be installed in 90 minutes or less, making them a great DIY project for homeowners looking to transform their spaces.
They’re a perfect space-saving solution for tight laundry rooms, pantries, closets and even primary bathrooms, including the door separating the bedroom from the en suite bath. Plus, they come in an extensive range of styles that suit any home’s look. Doors like our 6 Lite Metal Barn Door Kit are perfect for modern and transitional homes, with a glass panel design that enhances the flow of natural light while maintaining privacy for a practical, space-saving solution.
Doors play a vital role in keeping the outside out and the inside in, helping to maintain a comfortable environment while protecting your home from the elements. When a door doesn’t seal properly, drafts can sneak in, your HVAC system has to work harder and energy bills can climb. A well-sealed door is key to conserving energy and creating a more efficient home.
The good news is that many of our fiberglass exterior doors are ENERGY STAR® certified, designed to improve energy efficiency and help maintain a consistent indoor temperature. But if you’re looking for the ultimate solution, the Masonite Performance Door System is designed to go above and beyond.
With premium fiberglass construction, a square edge design for a precise fit, adaptive weatherstripping, enhanced corner pads and a self-adjusting sill, this system tested 64% better at keeping air and water out than the leading competitor. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty* and a 10-year full replacement warranty on system components, it’s a long-term investment in comfort, protection from the elements and energy savings.

Whether it’s shielding against severe weather or keeping potential intruders at bay, doors are the barrier that separates your home from the outside world. They’re your home’s first line of defense, and the right choice can make all the difference when it comes to safeguarding your family. Our steel doors — like our 2 Panel ½ Lite — are built to handle life’s toughest challenges, from withstanding substantial impacts to providing protection in inclement weather. They’re also fire-rated, offering peace of mind in emergencies, with options for both 20-minute and 90-minute fire ratings.
Our steel doors aren’t our only doors that add safety, either. If you prefer a fiberglass door, the M-Protect™ Multi-Point Security Lock is a security enhancement that can be added to the Masonite Performance Door System. Designed to help protect the people and things you love most, this multi-point lock is 4x** stronger than a standard deadbolt lock and surpasses some of the highest industry benchmarks for security. Its innovative tapered bolt design provides maximum strength while being easy to use.
And we know weather is a factor in safety. As a Florida-based company, hurricanes happen, and that's why we developed our Hurricane-Lite™ frame. It's engineered to meet HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) code requirements. Paired with the Masonite Performance Door System and impact-rated glass options, it provides powerful protection without sacrificing the style of your home.
No matter what life throws your way, our doors are designed to help enhance safety and give you one less thing to worry about.
Our doors don’t just do more for people — they do more for the environment, too, because creating a comfortable home shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment.
That’s why we employ sustainable practices at every step, from responsibly sourcing materials to reducing waste during manufacturing. Our rot-resistant frames, for example, are engineered to last longer, reducing the need for replacements and keeping unnecessary materials out of landfills. Many of our doors, like those made with fiberglass, are also energy-efficient, helping you lower your energy bills and your carbon footprint.
It’s all part of our mission to craft Doors That Do More™ — for your home and the planet. Want to know more? Check out our ESG report to see how today’s choices are shaping a better world for tomorrow.
Your home isn’t just where you live — it’s where life happens. It’s where you gather with loved ones, find comfort after a long day and create memories that stick with you forever. And when it comes to the doors in your home, they might not be the first thing you think about, but they play a surprisingly important role in how your space feels and functions. That’s why we’re committed to crafting Doors That Do More™. From increasing natural light and saving space to providing better security, energy efficiency and style, the right doors can make life easier, more comfortable and more enjoyable.
