Masonite 6 Panel Textured 80″ Passage Door

Worth it for contractors handling basic residential interior doors who need predictable sizing and lightweight handling. Seven width options from 24 to 36 inches mean you’ll likely have the right size without custom ordering. At 25-32 pounds, these doors won’t wreck your back during solo installs.

Skip it if sound dampening matters. The hollow-core construction won’t help with noisy teenagers or home offices. Solid-core alternatives offer 70% more sound dampening material — spend the extra money where it counts.

Size Options and Installation Specs

The 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, and 36-inch width options cover every standard residential opening. That flexibility matters when you’re bidding multiple units with varying door widths. No special orders, no callbacks because the 29-inch opening needs a custom door.

Specification	Value
Height	80 inches
Width Options	24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 in.
Thickness	1.375 inches
Weight Range	25-32 lbs
Material	Molded Composite / Wood-Fiber Composite
Core Type	Hollow-core (Honeycombed construction)
Bore Prep	Available with single lockset bore (typically 2-1/8 inch)

The universal/reversible handing for slab models eliminates the left-hand versus right-hand confusion that burns time on every job. Order the door, flip it whichever way works, move on.

The 26-inch slab weighs approximately 25 pounds — light enough that you’re not calling for help to hang a bedroom door. Compare that to solid-core options that’ll have you wishing for a helper on every install.

Textured Surface Benefits

The textured wood-grain finish does more than look traditional. Shows fingerprints and imperfections less than smooth surfaces — practical for rental properties and homes with kids where doors get touched constantly.

Smooth surface alternatives work better for modern/minimalist looks and provide more consistent paint application for high-gloss finishes. But in Montana’s practical housing market, that textured surface hiding everyday wear matters more than achieving a showroom shine.

Compliance and Warranty Requirements

Government contracts and institutional work demand specific certifications. This door delivers:

Certification	Details
TAA/BAA Compliance	Trade Agreements Act / Buy American Act compliant
CARB Phase 2	California Air Resources Board compliant
Warranty	1-year limited warranty for interior molded doors, includes protection against manufacturing defects and warping within specific tolerances

Here’s the catch on that warranty: Paint all six sides of the door (top/bottom included) for warranty compliance. Most contractors skip the top and bottom edges. Don’t. That exposed wood fiber absorbs moisture and voids your warranty coverage.

Made in the USA options available — critical for state and federal projects with domestic sourcing requirements.

Bottom Line

With 423 reviews averaging 4.3 stars, contractors keep buying these doors because they work. Consistent sizing across multiple purchases means no surprises when you order another batch six months later.

The Masonite 6 Panel Textured hits the sweet spot for basic interior passages where you need reliability over premium features. Great value for budget-conscious renovations according to actual users. Just remember it’s a hollow-core door doing hollow-core work — bedrooms, closets, and hallways where sound isolation doesn’t matter.

Save the solid-core budget for bathrooms and home offices. Use these everywhere else.

FAQ

What’s the actual weight difference between sizes? The 26-inch slab weighs approximately 25 pounds, with the full range running 25-32 pounds across all seven width options. Wide enough spread that the 36-inch door might benefit from a helper.

Are hinges included with pre-bored doors? Yes. Pre-bored refers only to the lockset hole (typically 2-1/8 inch). You’ll still need to mortise for hinges — either 2 or 3 hinges depending on weight/standard.

Will these doors fit existing frames? Standard interior door frames with 3-1/2 to 4-9/16 inch jambs accommodate these doors. Standard locksets work with either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.

What’s the maximum trimming allowance? Maximum 1/4-inch total allowance for scribing and trimming. That’s total — not per side. Plan your cuts carefully or order the next size up.

How important is that six-sided painting requirement? Critical for warranty coverage. The warranty requires painting all six sides including top and bottom. Unsealed edges absorb moisture, cause warping, void your warranty. Takes five extra minutes — do it right.
