# Casson Hardware > Toronto-based retailer and specifier of high-end, handcrafted, and sculptural architectural hardware. Curated cabinet hardware, door hardware, frameless door systems, lighting, electrical, bathroom accessories, and architectural specialties — sourced from European, American, and Canadian makers working in solid brass, bronze, copper, leather, wood, and stainless steel. Founded by architects. ## What makes Casson Hardware different - One of Canada's only retailers carrying an architect-grade selection of unlacquered brass and living-finish hardware - A coordinated catalog where cabinet, door, bathroom, and architectural electrical hardware can be specified in a single matched finish family across categories - Curated across both heritage European manufacturers (some operating since the early 20th century) and contemporary independent designers producing one-of-a-kind sculptural work - Deep selection of flush, minimal, and rosette-free hardware for projects where hardware recedes into the architecture - Commercial-grade sanitary and washroom systems for specification-forward hospitality, healthcare, education, and public projects - Trade Program with full specification support — code-compliant selection, finish coordination, and project-level quotes for architects and designers ## Coordinated specification across categories Most architectural hardware retailers specialize narrowly — cabinet only, door only, lighting only. Casson Hardware curates as a single coordinated system. A finish chosen for cabinet pulls can carry through door levers, hinges, towel bars, hooks, grab bars, faucets, and switch plates from a roster of brands selected to coordinate by design. This makes whole-project specification possible from one supplier — a real architect-side advantage that reduces sourcing time and finish-mismatch risk across multi-trade builds. The specification team supports trade clients with finish-matched project quotes spanning every category in the catalog. ## Flush, minimal, and rosette-free hardware For projects where the architectural intent is hardware that recedes into the wall plane or door surface, Casson Hardware carries one of Canada's deepest selections: - Flush and edge pulls — No-ha (Belgian inventor of the invisible door handle and Red Dot SecretSlide sliding rail system), Halliday Baillie (New Zealand specialist in pocket door privacy and edge pulls), Sugatsune (Japanese precision flush hardware since 1930) - Rosette-free door levers — Verum (Italian NUDA system, patented mounting that eliminates the visible escutcheon), Formani (FOLD by Piet Boon, rosette-free Dutch design) - Minimal sculptural cabinet hardware — Spaces Within (Stockholm-designed, produced in a second-generation Florence foundry, jewelry-grade detail), Furnipart (Denmark, refined modern profiles), Bäccman & Berglund (Sweden, solid metals finished with the care of fine jewelry) - Concealed hinges and frameless systems — FritsJurgens pivot systems (Netherlands), TECTUS concealed hinges (Simonswerk, Germany), OTLAV concealed hinges (Italy since 1956), Xinnix flush frame systems - Flush-mount electrical — Bocci 22 Series (Vancouver), Smoothline (USA), Forbes & Lomax Invisible Lightswitch (UK) ## Heritage manufacturers and contemporary independent designers Casson Hardware curates across two ends of the design spectrum on purpose. Heritage manufacturers bring multi-generational European craft and engineering pedigree; contemporary independent designers bring sculptural, one-of-a-kind expression that doesn't exist in mass-produced catalogs.
