How PDQ Hardware Secures Cassia – Harmony Gardens, a Continuing Care Community in Maplewood, MN
Harmony Gardens is a continuing care community thoughtfully designed to integrate into seven acres in Maplewood, Minnesota. The property is secured with a full PDQ hardware package: cylindrical and interconnected locks, exit devices, and door closers, sourced through distributor Twin City Hardware.
About the property
Harmony Gardens is a continuing care community consisting of two connected buildings on seven acres in Maplewood, Minnesota. The first building is a skilled nursing facility that also houses town center amenities. The second building combines independent living apartments, assisted living apartments, assisted living care suites, and assisted living memory care residences.
The Challenge
Harmony Gardens is two connected buildings covering a skilled nursing facility with town center amenities, and a mix of independent living, assisted living, assisted living care suites, and assisted living memory care residences. That range asks a lot of one hardware package: unit-style entry doors need to feel residential for independent and assisted living residents, while the skilled nursing side needs heavier-duty hardware built for higher traffic and clinical use.
The Solution
Working through distributor Twin City Hardware, the project team specified PDQ hardware across every door type and care level in the community rather than mixing vendors by building:
Sourcing all seven product lines from one manufacturer let the architect and distributor standardize finishes and function across both connected buildings, rather than reconciling hardware from multiple vendors building by building or care level by care level.
