About us

At Doorstop International Masonite, operating as a subsidiary of Masonite International Corporation 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 environmentsthat promote a culture of creativity, collaboration, adaptability and integrity based on a strong commitment to our vision.

In 1924, William Mason did not change the industry when he created Masonite, he created a new one, one that transformed waste into worth and materials into what matters.

That revolution is part of Masonite, it is how we are changing the way people thinkabout doors and making everyone see that doors are not about keeping people out, they are about letting people in.

At Masonite, we keep our doors open to new perspectives, new voices, and new opportunities. We break down barriers and we help people walk throughwalls.
