Every project begins with a vision, and for designers, the challenge is translating that vision into details that speak the same language. Hardware often carries more weight than its size suggests. It sets the tone for how people interact with a space and reinforces the quality promised by the design.
Developers and design teams expect every component to feel intentional. High-end hospitality properties, luxury residences, and flagship commercial spaces all demand a level of refinement that cannot be achieved through off-the-shelf solutions. Hardware customization allows designers to align form, finish, and function so that the smallest details reflect the overall concept. When the hardware becomes an extension of the architectural story, a space feels cohesive and complete. For designers, this means having a partner capable of delivering hardware that balances creative freedom with technical precision.
Frascio’s Customization Capabilities
Frascio approaches customization as a collaborative design process. Our team works closely with designers to translate creative intent into functional solutions without compromising performance or schedule. Every detail, from the shape of a lever to the tone of a finish, can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a project.
We offer an extensive range of options, including custom lever profiles, escutcheon and rose designs, and coordinated accessories. For sliding and glass door systems, Frascio ensures the same visual identity carries across every touchpoint, reinforcing design continuity throughout the property.
Beyond physical design, our process prioritizes efficiency. CAD files, rapid mock-ups, and physical samples support accurate approvals and keep timelines on track. Each customized solution undergoes rigorous testing to ensure UL fire ratings and ANSI/BHMA compliance, giving hardware designers confidence that creativity and code can coexist.
How We Work with Designers
Customization requires alignment early in the design process, which is why Frascio engages from the earliest specification stages. This proactive approach helps avoid delays that can ripple through the construction schedule. By collaborating closely with design teams, we make sure each selection fits seamlessly within both the creative vision and the project timeline.
Our North American partner, FR International, simplifies logistics and provides regional service for fast, reliable delivery. The team understands the unique demands of U.S. projects, including code requirements and procurement complexities, which reduces the risk of costly revisions or substitutions.
Frascio’s role doesn’t end when the products leave the factory. We provide ongoing support through installation and beyond, ensuring every piece of hardware performs as intended. This end-to-end commitment has made us a trusted partner on high-profile projects, including the Fontainebleau Las Vegas and Old Parkland in Dallas — both examples of large-scale developments where bespoke hardware elevated the design narrative.
Why Designers Trust Frascio for Bespoke Solutions
Successful projects rely on vendors who understand more than product; they understand process. Frascio combines Italian design heritage with the operational agility required for global projects, delivering customization at scale without compromising reliability.
For designers, that means confidence. Confidence in lead times, in quality, in code compliance and in the ability to achieve a cohesive aesthetic across every opening. Partnering with Frascio allows designers to execute their vision with precision, strengthen their reputation, and create spaces that leave a lasting impression.
