Masonite Livingston Smooth 84" Passage Door

The Masonite Livingston Smooth 84” Passage Door solves the width-matching nightmare that contractors face on multi-room projects. With 14 different width options from 12 inches to 36 inches, plus the choice between hollow and solid core, it’s one door model that adapts to nearly any interior opening without custom ordering delays.

This 7-foot-tall (84”) door targets residential contractors who need consistency across diverse room applications — bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, laundry rooms — while accommodating Montana’s mix of historic homes with non-standard openings and modern builds with varied room sizes.

Width Range and Core Flexibility

The Livingston’s real strength lies in its dimensional versatility. Most interior door lines offer maybe 5 or 6 width options. The Livingston gives contractors 14 precise widths:

12”, 14”, 15”, 16”, 18”, 20”, 22”, 24”, 26”, 28”, 30”, 32”, 34”, 36”

That 15-inch option? Perfect for those odd closet openings in older Montana homes. The 22-inch width? Ideal for narrow bathroom entries where space is tight. Every door maintains the standard 1-3/8 inch thickness and 84-inch height (labeled as 7/0).

The core choice matters more than most homeowners realize. Solid core delivers superior sound insulation — critical between bedrooms and bathrooms or home offices where privacy counts. Hollow core keeps weight down and costs lower for closets, pantries, and utility rooms where sound transmission isn’t a concern.

Both cores resist warping, shrinking, and cracking — essential in Montana’s temperature swings where interior humidity can vary dramatically between summer and winter.

Installation Configurations

The Livingston adapts to more than just swing door applications. Contractors can configure the same door for:

• Single-leaf or double-leaf swing doors
• Pocket doors that slide into wall cavities
• Sliding doors on exposed tracks
• Bifold doors for closets and laundry areas
• Firewall applications where fire ratings are required

This flexibility means contractors can maintain visual consistency throughout a home while adapting to different functional requirements. The classic 3-panel architecture with stile lines works across all configurations, avoiding the mismatched look that comes from mixing door styles.

The Verdict

Fourteen width options eliminate most custom door orders. The solid versus hollow core choice lets builders match performance to room function without switching product lines. Seven-foot height works for standard residential applications while leaving headroom for taller custom installations.

Compatible with standard interior door frames means no special jamb modifications. The configurable design handles swing, pocket, sliding, and bifold applications — versatility that saves contractors from stocking multiple door types.

For Montana’s mix of housing stock — from century-old Victorians with quirky door widths to modern ranches with open floor plans — the Livingston’s dimensional range and configuration flexibility make it a workhorse interior door that adapts rather than dictates.
