Yes, you can buy Masonite products, which today primarily means Masonite doors and Masonite hardboard panels, available at major home improvement retailers and lumber yards. Masonite interior doors, which are molded MDF hardboard doors with hollow or solid core, are sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, and building supply dealers across North America, costing 100 to 300 dollars for interior doors and 500 to 1,500 dollars for exterior fiberglass and steel doors. You can buy them in standard sizes like 24, 28, 30, 32, and 36 inch widths, in styles like 6-panel, 2-panel, and flush. Masonite hardboard panels, which are 4x8 foot sheets of tempered hardboard, can be bought at Home Depot, Lowe's, and lumber yards for about 20 to 40 dollars per sheet, used for underlayment, paneling, and crafts. Masonite siding, the old hardboard lap siding, can no longer be bought new as it was discontinued after lawsuits, but you can find similar engineered wood siding like LP SmartSide. You can also buy Masonite products online from HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, and Masonite's own website. The company Masonite International is still in business and publicly traded, so its doors are widely available. So yes, you can buy Masonite doors and hardboard panels easily at any major home improvement store in the US and Canada, but you cannot buy new Masonite branded exterior lap siding.

Yes, you can buy Masonite, but what you can buy depends on type, with Masonite brand interior doors and Masonite hardboard panels readily available at Home Depot, Lowe's, and lumber yards, while original Masonite exterior siding is no longer manufactured and cannot be bought new, having been discontinued in 2001. Masonite is brand name for hardboard invented in 1924, and Masonite Corporation now focuses on interior doors, being largest interior door manufacturer in world, with Masonite interior doors including molded panel doors, hollow core doors, and solid core doors sold at Home Depot and Lowe's for 50 to 200 dollars per door, available in various styles like 6-panel and flush, with hardboard door skins. Masonite hardboard panels, also called hardboard sheets, are available as 4x8 feet sheets in 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch thickness, smooth one side or both sides, sold as hardboard at Home Depot for about 10 to 20 dollars per sheet, used for interior paneling, furniture backing, crafts, and underlayment, often labeled as hardboard rather than Masonite brand but same material. For exterior, original Masonite lap siding brand is not available new, discontinued after class action lawsuits due to moisture failure, but you can buy similar engineered wood siding like LP SmartSide as replacement at lumber yards, which looks similar but has better moisture resistance. Salvaged Masonite siding may be found at salvage yards for patching. So you can buy Masonite interior doors and hardboard panels at home improvement stores, but not new Masonite exterior siding, which is discontinued, with LP SmartSide being modern alternative you can buy for exterior siding replacement.
