Frequently Asked Questions
What is a freestanding display cabinet?
A freestanding display cabinet (or floor standing cabinet) is a self-supporting unit that sits directly on the floor. It offers maximum storage capacity and visibility compared to wall-mounted or countertop units, making it ideal for large collections or retail stock.
Are your cabinets lockable?
Yes. Security is standard. Our lockable glass cabinets come with keys and robust locking mechanisms on the doors, essential for securing jewellery, electronics, or valuable memorabilia in public spaces.
Do you offer a glass cabinet with lights?
Yes. We have an extensive range of glass display cabinets with lights (LED). LED lighting is energy-efficient and runs cool, ensuring it won't damage delicate items or heat up the cabinet interior.
What sizes are available?
We stock everything from a slim single door display cabinet (approx. 400mm wide) to an expansive double door display cabinet (up to 1200mm+ wide). We also offer extra-wide units for maximum display area. Check the product page for exact dimensions.
What is the difference between single and double door cabinets?
A single door display cabinet is perfect for narrow spaces or alcoves. A double door display cabinet offers wider shelves and easier access for larger items, creating a more impactful display wall when placed side-by-side.
Do they come assembled?
We offer both options. Flat-pack cabinets are easier to transport into rooms with restricted access (like upstairs apartments). Pre-assembled cabinets are delivered ready to use (via pallet), saving you time on installation.
How much weight can the shelves hold?
Our tempered glass shelves are designed for strength. Typically, they can hold between 5kg and 15kg of spread weight. For heavier items like die-cast models or trophies, please check the specific 'Max Shelf Load' on the product specification.
Are they suitable for high-traffic retail?
Yes. Our cabinets are "Commercial Grade". This means they are built with durable materials like aluminium and toughened glass to withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy retail environment, unlike domestic furniture.
