Do it Best hardware stores do have it. They don't stock it but it can be ordered, free shipping to the store. A 4' x 8' x 1/4" is $15.79 plus local tax. And it is made in the good old USA! So I have to drive about 11 miles to get it but gas prices are down.
It's 1 degree, snow is coming, high of 12 before noon when the bottom drops out... expected high on Thursday of -5 and a low around -16... it sounds like winter but I'm feeling spring in the air after finding this stuff!!!

Hi,
I went here:
http://doitbest.com/StoreLocator.dib
Entered my zip and looked at the refine search and set that to "Ship-to-Stores"
I entered your town,state
http://doitbest.com/Main.aspx?PageID=51 ... &search2=1
And it looks like you have a lot of options depending on just where you live.
In my area there are three of them so I picked the closest and clicked on the "Ship-to-Store" on the right under Store Options.
Once at the site put "dpi signature s2s" and you will see all the products including pegboard.

I sent Masonite an e-mail:
[quote]Does your company still manufacture the hard board commonly known as Masonite? If so, where can I order some. If not, can you direct me to the company that does? I have been having a hard time finding any at local lumberyards and big box stores. The product that they are selling as hardboard is not what I want.[/quote]And received this reply today:

Tim,
Thank you for emailing the Masonite Helpline.
Masonite no longer produces any hardboard products. We haven’t since 2004. You may try contacting a company called ABTCO as they are making similar hardboard product. They can be reached at 1-419-535-5921.
Thank you, Melissa
Masonite Helpline
[/quote]That might explain why I still have some 1/4" thick stuff left from the last time I bought it, and now it is hard to find any that is 1/4" thick.
