Interior Door Applications

Swinging Door

This is a hinged door that swings into or out of a room, and is the most standard interior door application.

Bifold Door

A folding door that has several sections that fold in pairs. Bifolds are most commonly made for closets, but may also be used between rooms.

Pocket Door

A pocket door is a sliding door that opens by sliding along its length and disappearing into a compartment in the adjacent wall. Pocket doors are used for architectural effect, or when there is no room for a swinging door. They usually travel on rollers suspended from an overhead track, although some also feature tracks or guides along the floor. Both single- and double-door versions are used, depending on the width of the entry.

Bypass Door

A bypass door consists of two or more sections that can slide in either direction along one axis on parallel overhead tracks, so that they slide past each other. They are most commonly used as closet doors, in order to access one side of the closet at a time. The doors in a bypass unit will overlap slightly when viewed from the front to eliminate any visible gap between them.

Barn Door

An on-trend interior door option that uses externally mounted hardware to allow the door to slide over an opening without taking the space needed for a swinging door.

Artisan Door Collection

The Artisan collection includes both glass (“lites”) and panels. These are named based on designs.

French Door

A French door has multiple pieces of glass (“lites”) set into it for the entire length of the door. Traditional French doors are assembled from individual pieces of glass and mullions. These doors are also known as true divided lite French doors.

French door designs are named based on the number of lites they have combined with other style elements like the type of glass or the shape of the upper lites.

Louver Door

A louvered door has fixed or movable wooden fins (often called slats or louvers) that permit open ventilation while preserving privacy and preventing the passage of light to the interior. They are most commonly used for wardrobes, closets and laundry rooms, where ventilation takes precedence over security.

Wood Species

These wood species are available for Le Chateau, Artisan, and French doors. Louver doors are available in pine and primed (ready to paint). Visit our products to learn more about Masonite door styles and product availability.
