Present Every Notice Securely on a Dark Blue Felt Board
Deep blue felt gives a long wall a calm, professional finish while a pair of lockable PETG doors keeps every notice exactly where it was placed. A Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, the board pairs that security with Department for Education approval, so it is trusted for schools as readily as for offices and clinics. The felt takes pins and staples, the deep tone keeps white paper and black text sharp, and concealed fixings leave a flush, tidy finish on the wall. It mounts landscape to run the full width of a wall, and snap-on covers hide the fittings so nothing shows once it is up. Best suited to schools, offices and healthcare sites where information must stay visible, orderly and protected from tampering behind a lock.
Why Busy Public Buildings Choose an Approved Lockable Board
- A professional dark blue felt surface: Deep blue felt gives a long wall a calm, corporate finish, its depth of tone throwing white paper and black text into clear relief so notices read at a glance. The felt takes both pins and staples, so flyers and heavier sets fix firmly across the area.
- Approved by the Department for Education: Department for Education approval sits behind the board, so it clears the safety and quality bar set for schools, colleges and universities. That backing makes it an easy specify for education, and carries weight in an office or clinic too.
- Lockable PETG double doors: A pair of clear PETG doors shut over the felt and lock on a key, so notices stay in full view while no hand can reach them. Being shatter-resistant, PETG absorbs a knock and keeps its shape, protecting a display from tampering and everyday accidents.
- A generous internal clearance: The gap behind the doors gives real depth, enough for sheets to overlap or a slightly bulkier item such as a mounted certificate to sit flat rather than press against the plastic. A layered display still closes cleanly without crushing anything pinned inside.
- Satin aluminium frame, hidden fixings: A corrosion-resistant satin anodised aluminium frame gives a contemporary edge, while concealed corner fixings and snap-on covers leave a flush finish once the board is mounted. Nothing shows on the face to be picked at or worked loose.
- A Displaysense design, exclusive to us: This board is a Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, so you will not find the same board elsewhere. It is drawn up for busy public and professional spaces, and backed by a UK display specialist working since 1978.
Where a Dark Blue Noticeboard Belongs on a Professional Wall
| Schools and Colleges | Corridor and classroom walls hold certificates, safeguarding notices and pupil information behind locked doors, the Department for Education approval making dark blue a natural, trusted fit where safety standards must be met each day. |
| Offices and Workplaces | Team and shared-floor walls present policies, HR notices and rotas on a deep blue that reads as calm and corporate, the locked doors keeping a professional display accurate and untouched between one update and the next. |
| Healthcare Settings | Ward approaches and department walls post patient guidance and staff information behind clear locked doors, the restful blue easy on the eye in a clinical space and the felt holding a full run of notices where footfall never lets up. |
| Universities and Campuses | Common-room and corridor walls run module notices, welfare information and society flyers behind glazing, the education approval and secure doors suiting a student building where notices are pinned and swapped often through term. |
| Staff Rooms and Back-of-House | Break-room and office walls carry schedules, procedures and team notes on blue felt that keeps them legible, the locked doors holding sensitive staff information out of general reach in a shared working area. |
| Reception and Public Areas | Front-of-house and lobby walls show welcome details and public notices behind locked doors, the deep blue giving a composed, professional first impression to visitors arriving or waiting close by all day. |

NBL180120DB is a Tamperproof Dark Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense, exclusive to Displaysense and a Displaysense design. A large landscape notice board with two lockable PETG doors that guard posted notices from tampering, a professional dark blue felt surface that takes pins and staples, and a satin anodised aluminium frame with concealed corner fixings and snap-on covers. Dimensions 1800mm x 1200mm. Weight 13kg. Two lockable PETG doors, dark blue felt for pins and staples, satin anodised aluminium frame, concealed corner fixings with snap-on covers, 20mm internal clearance for layered displays, landscape wall mounting, wall mount kit included, Department for Education approved. Used by schools, offices, healthcare sites, staff rooms and universities for certificates, safeguarding notices, timetables and staff information behind lockable doors. Also available as a smaller version and, without the lock, as an open dark blue felt board. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK delivery.
A satin anodised aluminium frame carries the whole board, corrosion-resistant and low in glare, wiping clean and keeping its edge on a wall people pass all day. Its corner fixings stay hidden under snap-on covers, so the board finishes flush with nothing on the face to be picked at or worked loose over time. Made to hang landscape across a broad wall, it goes up on the fixings supplied and levels best as a job for two. In an office or reception the silver tone reads as understated and current rather than utilitarian.
Deep dark blue felt is what gives the board its composed, corporate look, a tone that throws white paper and black text into clear contrast so a notice reads from across a room. A drawing pin or a staple both hold fast in it, letting a single flyer or a full set of documents fix securely, and the felt closes over each hole so the face stays smooth through change after change. Across the width there is space for a whole board of certificates and updates at once, and the depth of the blue keeps that full, mixed display looking deliberate rather than cluttered.
Two clear PETG doors close over that felt and lock on a key, holding every notice on view while keeping it beyond the reach of a passing hand. Being shatter-resistant, PETG flexes under a knock and stays whole where glass would crack, guarding a display from tampering and the odd accident alike. Depth behind the doors lets sheets layer or a mounted certificate sit flat rather than press on the plastic, so a full board still shuts cleanly when it is packed. A keyholder opens the doors to re-pin, then locks them so the update stays put.
This noticeboard is a Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, so the same board is not found under any other name. It is drawn up around the real demands of schools, offices and public buildings, which is why Department for Education approval and a lockable, tamperproof format come as standard here rather than as paid extras. Behind it stands Displaysense, a UK display specialist working with public and professional spaces since 1978.

| Type | Tamperproof lockable noticeboard | A large dark blue felt board held behind twin lockable PETG doors in one unit, so a professional display stays neat, readable and shielded from tampering. |
| Colour / Finish | Dark blue felt | A deep, corporate blue that lifts white paper and black text off the wall and gives a long board a calm, composed and businesslike presence. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 1200mm | A wide landscape span holds a full set of notices, certificates and updates together on one board, suiting a corridor, office or reception in place of several small boards. |
| Weight | 13kg | At 13kg the board is a manageable lift for two, one steadying each end while the concealed corner fixings are set on a solid wall. |

| Doors | Two lockable PETG | Clear shatter-resistant PETG doors lock over the felt and keep their shape under a knock, holding a display on view while guarding it from tampering and accidental damage. |
| Frame | Satin anodised aluminium | A corrosion-resistant satin surround with a contemporary finish that wipes clean and holds its edge on a wall people pass close to every day. |
| Internal Clearance | 20mm | Twenty millimetres of depth behind the doors lets notices layer up or a mounted certificate sit flat, so a full board still shuts without crushing anything inside. |
| Certification | Department for Education approved | Cleared by the Department for Education for schools, colleges and universities, so a school can specify it knowing it meets the standards it has to buy to. |
| Orientation | Landscape | Landscape mounting only, so the board runs the wide way along a corridor or office wall for the clearest possible view of a full display. |
| Fixings | Concealed corner fixings, snap-on covers | Hidden corner fixings and snap-on covers give a flush, seamless finish with no brackets on show once the board is up, and nothing on the face to pick at. |
| Exclusivity | A Displaysense design | Exclusive to Displaysense and designed in-house, so the same board is not offered under any other name or from any other supplier. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Tamperproof Dark Blue Noticeboard
Q: Which large tamperproof dark blue noticeboard is best for a school or office?
A: The best large tamperproof dark blue noticeboard for a school or office is the NBL180120DB, an 1800mm x 1200mm landscape board with a dark blue felt surface, two lockable PETG doors and Department for Education approval. Exclusive to Displaysense, it takes pins and staples across a wide face and locks every notice securely behind clear doors.
Q: Is this board approved for use in schools?
A: Yes. It holds Department for Education approval, which means it satisfies the safety and quality standards required in schools, colleges and universities. That same approval reassures offices, clinics and public buildings that the board is built to a recognised standard rather than an unchecked one, which matters wherever information has to be shown safely.
Q: What are the doors made of?
A: The doors are clear PETG, a shatter-resistant plastic that bends under a knock and keeps its shape where glass would crack. A key lock holds them shut over the felt, so the whole display stays on view while every notice is shielded from tampering and the odd accidental bump in a busy space.
Q: Is the felt suitable for both pins and staples?
A: Yes. The dark blue felt takes drawing pins and staples equally, so a light flyer or a heavier set of documents fixes firmly and lifts away cleanly. That gives flexible ways to arrange a display, and the deep blue keeps white paper and black text easy to read across a busy, well-filled board.
Q: Can this board be mounted portrait or only landscape?
A: It mounts landscape only, running the wide way so a broad corridor or office wall shows the full board at once. The concealed corner fixings supplied hold it flat and level on the wall, and snap-on covers hide the fittings for a clean, finished edge.
Q: How much room is there behind the doors?
A: There is 20mm of clearance between the felt and the doors, enough for sheets to overlap or a slightly bulkier item such as a mounted certificate to lie flat. That depth keeps a layered display neat, so a full board still closes cleanly behind the locked doors even when several notices overlap.
Q: What size and weight is this dark blue board?
A: At 1800mm x 1200mm the board weighs 13kg, a broad display sized for corridors, receptions and open office walls. The satin aluminium frame and the twin PETG doors hold most of that weight, which is why it lifts and levels comfortably with a person at each end rather than one working alone.
Q: Should I choose this 1800mm board or the smaller NBL12090DB?
A: Both are exclusive dark blue tamperproof boards with the same lockable doors and felt. The NBL180120DB is 1800mm x 1200mm, best where a wide wall needs a large display. The smaller NBL12090DB is 1200mm x 900mm, a better fit for a tighter space or a lower traffic area.
Q: How is the board fixed to the wall?
A: It fixes on concealed corner fixings with snap-on covers, finishing flush and seamless with nothing on show. Set it with one person holding the board level against a solid wall while the other beds the corner fixings and clips the covers over them for a clean edge.
Q: How do I update the notices?
A: Unlock the doors with the key, swap or re-pin the notices, then close and lock the doors again. The felt takes fresh pins and staples cleanly at each change, so updating a full board is quick even in a busy corridor, reception or staff room where it cannot be left open for long.
Q: Is this noticeboard exclusive to Displaysense?
A: Yes. The NBL180120DB is a Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, so the same board is not sold under any other name. It is drawn up for busy public and professional spaces and backed by Displaysense, a UK display specialist since 1978, and it ships with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day return policy behind every order.
Q: Is there a smaller size or an open version of this board?
A: Yes. The same exclusive lockable design comes in a smaller size, and an open dark blue felt board is available without the doors and lock where security is not needed. Each shares the deep blue felt, lockable format and satin anodised aluminium frame described here.
Specifying a Secure Blue Noticeboard for a School or Office
When a board has to lock, stay visible and look the part in a school, office or public building, the surface, the doors and the certification all come into it. These Displaysense guides walk through matching a board to a space, setting up safeguarding displays that work, and making the most of a board on a busy school corridor.

Present Every Notice Securely on a Dark Blue Felt Board
Deep blue felt gives a long wall a calm, professional finish while a pair of lockable PETG doors keeps every notice exactly where it was placed. A Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, the board pairs that security with Department for Education approval, so it is trusted for schools as readily as for offices and clinics. The felt takes pins and staples, the deep tone keeps white paper and black text sharp, and concealed fixings leave a flush, tidy finish on the wall. It mounts landscape to run the full width of a wall, and snap-on covers hide the fittings so nothing shows once it is up. Best suited to schools, offices and healthcare sites where information must stay visible, orderly and protected from tampering behind a lock.
Why Busy Public Buildings Choose an Approved Lockable Board
- A professional dark blue felt surface: Deep blue felt gives a long wall a calm, corporate finish, its depth of tone throwing white paper and black text into clear relief so notices read at a glance. The felt takes both pins and staples, so flyers and heavier sets fix firmly across the area.
- Approved by the Department for Education: Department for Education approval sits behind the board, so it clears the safety and quality bar set for schools, colleges and universities. That backing makes it an easy specify for education, and carries weight in an office or clinic too.
- Lockable PETG double doors: A pair of clear PETG doors shut over the felt and lock on a key, so notices stay in full view while no hand can reach them. Being shatter-resistant, PETG absorbs a knock and keeps its shape, protecting a display from tampering and everyday accidents.
- A generous internal clearance: The gap behind the doors gives real depth, enough for sheets to overlap or a slightly bulkier item such as a mounted certificate to sit flat rather than press against the plastic. A layered display still closes cleanly without crushing anything pinned inside.
- Satin aluminium frame, hidden fixings: A corrosion-resistant satin anodised aluminium frame gives a contemporary edge, while concealed corner fixings and snap-on covers leave a flush finish once the board is mounted. Nothing shows on the face to be picked at or worked loose.
- A Displaysense design, exclusive to us: This board is a Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, so you will not find the same board elsewhere. It is drawn up for busy public and professional spaces, and backed by a UK display specialist working since 1978.
Where a Dark Blue Noticeboard Belongs on a Professional Wall
| Schools and Colleges | Corridor and classroom walls hold certificates, safeguarding notices and pupil information behind locked doors, the Department for Education approval making dark blue a natural, trusted fit where safety standards must be met each day. |
| Offices and Workplaces | Team and shared-floor walls present policies, HR notices and rotas on a deep blue that reads as calm and corporate, the locked doors keeping a professional display accurate and untouched between one update and the next. |
| Healthcare Settings | Ward approaches and department walls post patient guidance and staff information behind clear locked doors, the restful blue easy on the eye in a clinical space and the felt holding a full run of notices where footfall never lets up. |
| Universities and Campuses | Common-room and corridor walls run module notices, welfare information and society flyers behind glazing, the education approval and secure doors suiting a student building where notices are pinned and swapped often through term. |
| Staff Rooms and Back-of-House | Break-room and office walls carry schedules, procedures and team notes on blue felt that keeps them legible, the locked doors holding sensitive staff information out of general reach in a shared working area. |
| Reception and Public Areas | Front-of-house and lobby walls show welcome details and public notices behind locked doors, the deep blue giving a composed, professional first impression to visitors arriving or waiting close by all day. |

NBL180120DB is a Tamperproof Dark Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense, exclusive to Displaysense and a Displaysense design. A large landscape notice board with two lockable PETG doors that guard posted notices from tampering, a professional dark blue felt surface that takes pins and staples, and a satin anodised aluminium frame with concealed corner fixings and snap-on covers. Dimensions 1800mm x 1200mm. Weight 13kg. Two lockable PETG doors, dark blue felt for pins and staples, satin anodised aluminium frame, concealed corner fixings with snap-on covers, 20mm internal clearance for layered displays, landscape wall mounting, wall mount kit included, Department for Education approved. Used by schools, offices, healthcare sites, staff rooms and universities for certificates, safeguarding notices, timetables and staff information behind lockable doors. Also available as a smaller version and, without the lock, as an open dark blue felt board. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK delivery.
A satin anodised aluminium frame carries the whole board, corrosion-resistant and low in glare, wiping clean and keeping its edge on a wall people pass all day. Its corner fixings stay hidden under snap-on covers, so the board finishes flush with nothing on the face to be picked at or worked loose over time. Made to hang landscape across a broad wall, it goes up on the fixings supplied and levels best as a job for two. In an office or reception the silver tone reads as understated and current rather than utilitarian.
Deep dark blue felt is what gives the board its composed, corporate look, a tone that throws white paper and black text into clear contrast so a notice reads from across a room. A drawing pin or a staple both hold fast in it, letting a single flyer or a full set of documents fix securely, and the felt closes over each hole so the face stays smooth through change after change. Across the width there is space for a whole board of certificates and updates at once, and the depth of the blue keeps that full, mixed display looking deliberate rather than cluttered.
Two clear PETG doors close over that felt and lock on a key, holding every notice on view while keeping it beyond the reach of a passing hand. Being shatter-resistant, PETG flexes under a knock and stays whole where glass would crack, guarding a display from tampering and the odd accident alike. Depth behind the doors lets sheets layer or a mounted certificate sit flat rather than press on the plastic, so a full board still shuts cleanly when it is packed. A keyholder opens the doors to re-pin, then locks them so the update stays put.
This noticeboard is a Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, so the same board is not found under any other name. It is drawn up around the real demands of schools, offices and public buildings, which is why Department for Education approval and a lockable, tamperproof format come as standard here rather than as paid extras. Behind it stands Displaysense, a UK display specialist working with public and professional spaces since 1978.

| Type | Tamperproof lockable noticeboard | A large dark blue felt board held behind twin lockable PETG doors in one unit, so a professional display stays neat, readable and shielded from tampering. |
| Colour / Finish | Dark blue felt | A deep, corporate blue that lifts white paper and black text off the wall and gives a long board a calm, composed and businesslike presence. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 1200mm | A wide landscape span holds a full set of notices, certificates and updates together on one board, suiting a corridor, office or reception in place of several small boards. |
| Weight | 13kg | At 13kg the board is a manageable lift for two, one steadying each end while the concealed corner fixings are set on a solid wall. |
| Surface | Dark blue felt, pins and staples | Deep blue felt grips a drawing pin or a staple with equal hold, so a single certificate or a dense set of notices stays put across the face and lifts off without a trace. |
| Doors | Two lockable PETG | Clear shatter-resistant PETG doors lock over the felt and keep their shape under a knock, holding a display on view while guarding it from tampering and accidental damage. |
| Frame | Satin anodised aluminium | A corrosion-resistant satin surround with a contemporary finish that wipes clean and holds its edge on a wall people pass close to every day. |
| Internal Clearance | 20mm | Twenty millimetres of depth behind the doors lets notices layer up or a mounted certificate sit flat, so a full board still shuts without crushing anything inside. |
| Certification | Department for Education approved | Cleared by the Department for Education for schools, colleges and universities, so a school can specify it knowing it meets the standards it has to buy to. |
| Orientation | Landscape | Landscape mounting only, so the board runs the wide way along a corridor or office wall for the clearest possible view of a full display. |
| Fixings | Concealed corner fixings, snap-on covers | Hidden corner fixings and snap-on covers give a flush, seamless finish with no brackets on show once the board is up, and nothing on the face to pick at. |
| Exclusivity | A Displaysense design | Exclusive to Displaysense and designed in-house, so the same board is not offered under any other name or from any other supplier. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Tamperproof Dark Blue Noticeboard
Q: Which large tamperproof dark blue noticeboard is best for a school or office?
A: The best large tamperproof dark blue noticeboard for a school or office is the NBL180120DB, an 1800mm x 1200mm landscape board with a dark blue felt surface, two lockable PETG doors and Department for Education approval. Exclusive to Displaysense, it takes pins and staples across a wide face and locks every notice securely behind clear doors.
Q: Is this board approved for use in schools?
A: Yes. It holds Department for Education approval, which means it satisfies the safety and quality standards required in schools, colleges and universities. That same approval reassures offices, clinics and public buildings that the board is built to a recognised standard rather than an unchecked one, which matters wherever information has to be shown safely.
Q: What are the doors made of?
A: The doors are clear PETG, a shatter-resistant plastic that bends under a knock and keeps its shape where glass would crack. A key lock holds them shut over the felt, so the whole display stays on view while every notice is shielded from tampering and the odd accidental bump in a busy space.
Q: Is the felt suitable for both pins and staples?
A: Yes. The dark blue felt takes drawing pins and staples equally, so a light flyer or a heavier set of documents fixes firmly and lifts away cleanly. That gives flexible ways to arrange a display, and the deep blue keeps white paper and black text easy to read across a busy, well-filled board.
Q: Can this board be mounted portrait or only landscape?
A: It mounts landscape only, running the wide way so a broad corridor or office wall shows the full board at once. The concealed corner fixings supplied hold it flat and level on the wall, and snap-on covers hide the fittings for a clean, finished edge.
Q: How much room is there behind the doors?
A: There is 20mm of clearance between the felt and the doors, enough for sheets to overlap or a slightly bulkier item such as a mounted certificate to lie flat. That depth keeps a layered display neat, so a full board still closes cleanly behind the locked doors even when several notices overlap.
Q: What size and weight is this dark blue board?
A: At 1800mm x 1200mm the board weighs 13kg, a broad display sized for corridors, receptions and open office walls. The satin aluminium frame and the twin PETG doors hold most of that weight, which is why it lifts and levels comfortably with a person at each end rather than one working alone.
Q: Should I choose this 1800mm board or the smaller NBL12090DB?
A: Both are exclusive dark blue tamperproof boards with the same lockable doors and felt. The NBL180120DB is 1800mm x 1200mm, best where a wide wall needs a large display. The smaller NBL12090DB is 1200mm x 900mm, a better fit for a tighter space or a lower traffic area.
Q: How is the board fixed to the wall?
A: It fixes on concealed corner fixings with snap-on covers, finishing flush and seamless with nothing on show. Set it with one person holding the board level against a solid wall while the other beds the corner fixings and clips the covers over them for a clean edge.
Q: How do I update the notices?
A: Unlock the doors with the key, swap or re-pin the notices, then close and lock the doors again. The felt takes fresh pins and staples cleanly at each change, so updating a full board is quick even in a busy corridor, reception or staff room where it cannot be left open for long.
Q: Is this noticeboard exclusive to Displaysense?
A: Yes. The NBL180120DB is a Displaysense design and exclusive to Displaysense, so the same board is not sold under any other name. It is drawn up for busy public and professional spaces and backed by Displaysense, a UK display specialist since 1978, and it ships with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day return policy behind every order.
Q: Is there a smaller size or an open version of this board?
A: Yes. The same exclusive lockable design comes in a smaller size, and an open dark blue felt board is available without the doors and lock where security is not needed. Each shares the deep blue felt, lockable format and satin anodised aluminium frame described here.
Specifying a Secure Blue Noticeboard for a School or Office
When a board has to lock, stay visible and look the part in a school, office or public building, the surface, the doors and the certification all come into it. These Displaysense guides walk through matching a board to a space, setting up safeguarding displays that work, and making the most of a board on a busy school corridor.
