Masonite 2/8 Lau Lauan Hollow Core Door Slab

Product Description

The MASONITE 2/8 LAU is a lauan hollow core interior door slab built for residential and light commercial applications. The slab features a lauan wood veneer face over a hollow core construction with finger-jointed stiles and fiber rails, giving it a stable, consistent profile suited for standard interior doorways. Two lock blocks are included in the core to support mortised locksets and handle hardware. At approximately 23 pounds, the slab is manageable for a single installer. The face veneer accepts paint or stain finishes, though natural variation in lauan species means color and grain may differ slightly between units.

This door slab is intended for interior residential or light commercial installations where a paintable or stainable wood veneer surface is required. It is sold as an unprepped slab, meaning the installer must mortise hinge locations and bore for the lockset and handle set. This makes it well suited for custom rough openings or replacement situations where an existing frame already dictates hinge placement and bore locations. A finish carpenter or experienced millwork installer handles typical fitment.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or millwork professional. Hinge locations must be mortised into the slab edge and lockset bore drilled to fit the selected hardware before hanging. Use a door hinge template and sharp chisel or router for clean mortises. California Proposition 65 warning applies: drilling, sawing, sanding, or machining this product generates wood dust, a substance known to cause cancer — use appropriate respiratory protection such as an N95 dust mask or better during all cutting and fitting operations.
