Multi-family and mixed-use developments continue to reshape skylines and communities across the country. With their blend of residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces, these projects demand architectural hardware that delivers on form, function, and flexibility. Frascio stands out as the ideal partner for these environments, offering a broad selection of beautifully designed, competitively priced hardware tailored for every part of the building. Beyond individual products, Frascio provides a unified hardware solution that helps ensure consistency in design, finish, and function across the entire project.
This blog explores how Frascio’s product line meets the diverse demands of high-end multi-family and mixed-use developments.
Why Multi-Family and Mixed-Use Projects Choose Frascio
Modern developments are anything but simple. Mixed-use projects combine residential apartments with hotel rooms, coworking spaces, storefronts, and amenities like rooftop lounges or gyms. Each of these spaces comes with different needs for style, durability, and price sensitivity.
Frascio provides solutions that align with those needs. Tubular lever-sets are a perfect match for apartment interiors, offering visual cohesion without compromising durability. For entry doors or amenity spaces, Frascio’s mortise locks offer security with elevated design. Door pulls work with movable glass walls, while sliding door hardware continues to grow in popularity as a space-saving and visually clean solution.
What sets Frascio apart is the ability to offer a cohesive hardware package that delivers a consistent aesthetic across all of these applications, from apartment interiors to public-facing commercial areas.
With a wide range of designs, from refined European aesthetics to clean-lined, value-conscious options, Frascio gives developers and designers the tools to deliver visual consistency across every unit type, finish level, and functional requirement.
Frascio’s Product Edge for Multi-Family Applications
Tubular Lever-Sets
Frascio’s tubular lever-sets are built to handle daily wear without sacrificing visual appeal. A modular, BHMA-standard design ensures strong internal components, such as a robust chassis, stabilizing legs, and solid hubs. These features help ensure long-term performance in demanding residential and hospitality environments.
Developers looking for standout design at a reasonable price point will find luxury within reach. While Frascio’s designs reflect Italian inspiration, their price tag aligns with what you’d expect from mainstream, mass-market brands.
Mortise Locks
For entry doors or shared areas requiring added security, Frascio’s M500 Series brings versatility to the table. Options include decorative lever styles, electrified functions for integrated access control, and a variety of rose and escutcheon designs. This level of flexibility allows for customized solutions that align with both function and aesthetic goals across a range of applications.
Door Pulls
In spaces where movable glass walls are used to divide or open rooms, architectural door pulls play an important visual and functional role. Frascio offers premium-looking pulls at pricing that undercuts well-known competitors, making it easier to outfit larger projects without overextending the budget. They also allow for visual harmony in shared amenity spaces that feature a mix of opening types, materials, and functions.
Sliding Door Hardware
This category is gaining traction in multi-family design—and for good reason. Frascio has seen sliding door hardware grow, a testament to its appeal in modern layouts. These systems provide a sleek, space-efficient option that elevates the overall feel of a room, while remaining affordable and easy to install.
The Frascio Advantage: Design, Value, and Flexibility
Frascio’s Signature collection exemplifies the brand’s Italian design roots. Every piece is carefully styled to appeal to architects and spec writers who want something beyond the ordinary. Yet Frascio understands the U.S. market and has adapted finishes, functions, and features to align with American expectations for performance, compatibility, and price.
Luxury doesn’t have to mean high cost. Frascio’s catalog is priced to match or even beat domestic and imported alternatives that don’t offer the same level of design detail or customization. This makes Frascio a compelling option across the board, from luxury penthouses to cost-conscious standard units.
With rapid design turnaround, including 3D/CAD samples available in just a few days, and broad compatibility with other brands’ locks and exit devices, Frascio makes it easy to integrate their hardware into a wide range of project scopes. Whether you’re trying to value-engineer a finish package or find a high-end option that works with an existing locking system, Frascio has the flexibility and expertise to guide the process.
Tailored recommendations, alternate chassis options, and finish matching are all part of the service, making life easier for contractors, developers, and maintenance teams alike.
