About us

At Masonite, we believe a door is more than just a door; and we also know that the employees who build our doors are more than just employees. They work in environments that promote a culture of creativity, collaboration, adaptability, and integrity, based on a strong commitment to our vision.

In 1924, William Mason did not just change the industry when he created Masonite; he created a new one—transforming waste into worth and materials into what matters. That revolution is part of Masonite; it is how we are changing the way people think about doors, making everyone see that doors are not about keeping people out, but about letting people in. At Masonite, we keep our doors open to new perspectives, voices, and opportunities. We break down barriers and help people walk through walls.
