The Logan 2 Panel offers contractors a versatile interior door with both solid and hollow core options, featuring measurable sound dampening improvements and multiple width configurations from 18” to 36”. This door’s 1-3/8” standard thickness handles typical residential applications, while the 1-3/4” option delivers 20-minute fire rating for commercial projects.
Sound Control Performance & Core Options
The solid core version (marketed as Emerald or Safe ‘N Sound) delivers an STC rating of approximately 28-34 — enough to muffle normal conversation between rooms. That’s the difference between hearing every word through the door versus just muffled voices. Solid core options provide “superior sound dampening, feels more like solid wood, durable weight.”
The hollow core version includes lightweight construction for easy installation, making it practical for closets and low-traffic areas where sound control doesn’t matter. Contractors note the hollow core’s limited durability compared to solid core doors, especially in high-traffic environments.
| Core Type | STC Rating | Best Applications | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid Core (Emerald/Safe ‘N Sound) | ~28-34 | Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Laundry Rooms | Superior sound dampening |
| Hollow Core | Not specified | Closets, Pantries | Lightweight, cost-effective |
For Montana’s growing remote work population, that STC difference translates to functional home offices. The solid core blocks enough sound to take video calls while kids play in the next room.
Size Range & Installation Flexibility
Available widths span from 18” to 36” in 6 configurations: 18”, 24”, 28”, 30”, 32”, and 36”. Standard height is 80 inches with thickness options of 1-3/8” (standard) or 1-3/4” (fire-rated option). That width range covers everything from narrow linen closets to master bedroom entries without custom ordering.
Pre-hung options come in 4-9/16” jambs, standard for residential construction. Installation requires basic tools: level, hammer, shims, and finish nails. The pre-hung package includes primed door slab, jamb/frame, hinges, and stop molding.
Fire rating is available as 20-minute on the 1-3/4” solid core variants — meeting code for certain commercial applications and multi-family residential projects. Certifications include CARB Phase 2 compliance and potential FSC certification on select SKUs.
Design Details & Durability Features
The Logan features an angled profile that reduces dust accumulation compared to traditional 90-degree shaker joints. Engineered to resist warping, shrinking, and cracking — critical in Montana’s extreme temperature swings and low humidity winters.
The smooth surface is designed for easy painting with a white primed finish ready for topcoat. Square-top 2-panel configuration fits both traditional and contemporary interiors. Coordinating bifold door options are available for design continuity across closets and room entries.
Warranty coverage includes 7-year limited on solid core doors, 5-year limited on hollow core, and 1-year limited on Masonite-applied finishes.
The Logan’s practical design choices — angled dust-shedding profiles, multiple core options, wide size range — show Masonite building for real jobsite needs rather than catalog aesthetics. For Montana contractors dealing with sound control requirements in multi-unit housing or home offices, the solid core version delivers measurable performance at standard door pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much sound reduction does the solid core Logan actually provide?
The solid core Logan delivers an STC rating of approximately 28-34. That’s enough to reduce normal conversation to muffled voices and block most household noise between rooms. Perfect for bedrooms adjacent to living areas or home offices.
What hardware works with the Logan doors?
Standard interior door knobs and levers with 2-1/8” bore fit the Logan. No special hardware requirements — use whatever matches the home’s existing hardware style.
Do these doors handle Montana’s dry winters without cracking?
The Logan is engineered to resist warping, shrinking, and cracking. The engineered construction handles humidity changes better than solid wood doors that can split in Montana’s low-humidity winters.
What’s included with pre-hung versus slab-only?
Slab-only includes just the primed door. Pre-hung adds the jamb/frame, hinges, and stop molding — everything needed for new construction or full door replacement. Pre-hung doors come in standard 4-9/16” jambs.
Can I get matching bifold doors for closets?
Yes, coordinating bifold doors with matching Logan profile are available. Keeps design consistency when bedrooms have both entry and closet doors visible.
How many coats of paint does the primed surface need?
The white primed surface is ready for painting, but customer feedback suggests multiple coats may be needed for full coverage. Plan on primer plus two finish coats for professional results.
