Black Glass Counter Display Cabinet with Security Frame: 1200mm x 500mm, 8 LED Spotlights, Lockable Sliding Doors, Fire Certified

At 1200mm this cabinet presents longer product runs, wider collections and more merchandise per linear metre than the 1000mm models. Two adjustable tempered glass shelves plus a base shelf. Lockable sliding glass doors. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered. Not available through any other retailer.

Solid base shelf. 8 top-mounted LED spotlights. Lockable sliding glass doors with keys. Adjustable feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Flat-packed. Free UK mainland delivery.
Why 1200mm Changes the Display Equation
- 1200mm display width for longer product runs: Two hundred millimetres wider than the 1000mm models. That extra width accommodates longer jewellery collections, wider electronics ranges, more collectables per shelf and broader merchandise presentations. In a single counter position this cabinet displays what would require two narrower units side by side.
- Aluminium security frame locks the glass top: The security frame secures the toughened glass top to the cabinet, preventing it from being lifted without authorisation. Combined with the lockable sliding doors, the cabinet is secured from the front and the top simultaneously. The access point that standard counter cabinets leave unprotected is locked on this model.
- 8 top-mounted LED spotlights across the full 1200mm: Eight spotlights cast light downward across all three display levels evenly. The wider cabinet requires even illumination across a greater span, and the eight-spot configuration delivers that without dark zones or shadows at the edges.
- Lockable sliding glass doors for secure rear access: Staff slide the doors open along the full 1200mm width for unobstructed access. Slide closed and lock. No swing clearance required. Combined with the security frame, every access point is controlled.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified: Independently tested across the full assembly. Certificate downloadable for procurement teams. Essential for retail, hospitality, education and public sector environments where fire compliance is a purchasing prerequisite.
- Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered: Designed and built by Displaysense. The security frame is a Displaysense development. Not available through any other retailer. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Where the Widest Counter Cabinet Earns Its Position
| Jewellery, Watches, Fine Gifts | The 1200mm width presents a full jewellery collection across three levels in a single counter position. The security frame and lockable doors protect high-value merchandise from all access points. The extra width eliminates the need for two smaller cabinets side by side. |
| Electronics, Tech, Premium Retail | Wider product ranges, boxed items and premium tech accessories displayed across the full 1200mm span. The extra width accommodates larger product lines without items being cramped. The security frame protects from above in high-footfall retail positions. |
| Museums, Galleries, Heritage | Document collections, coin series, archaeological finds and curated object groups that benefit from a wider viewing span. The 1200mm width lets a curator tell a visual story across a single cabinet rather than splitting a collection between two smaller units. |
| Exhibition Stands, Events | Product launches and branded showcases where the cabinet forms the centrepiece of a stand. The 1200mm width fills a larger wall position or island display. Adjustable feet handle exhibition flooring. The security frame protects during unattended periods. |
| Hotel Reception, Corporate | Awards, branded products and corporate showcases in reception areas and conference centres where a wider display makes a stronger visual impression. The 1200mm span creates a feature display rather than a single-object showcase. |
| Collectables, Memorabilia | Larger collections displayed across the widest counter cabinet in the range. Three levels at 1200mm provide the most display area of any counter unit. The security frame and lockable doors protect the collection from all sides. |
Need a Narrower Width or a Deeper Cabinet?
For a more compact counter at the same 500mm depth, the DHC1004BK at 1000mm x 500mm offers the same LED and locking specification. For a deeper 600mm display area at 1000mm wide with security frame, see the DHC1005BK.

Displaysense DHC1204BK Black Aluminium Glass Counter Display Cabinet with Security Frame. Widest in range. 900mm H x 1200mm W x 500mm D. 52kg. Black anodised aluminium with security frame locking glass top. Toughened safety glass. Two adjustable tempered glass shelves, 12kg each, plus base shelf. 8 top-mounted LED spotlights. Lockable sliding doors. Adjustable feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered. Jewellery, watches, electronics, museums, exhibitions, hotels, corporate, collectables. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood. Displaysense since 1978.
Width determines how much of a collection a customer sees in a single glance. At 1200mm this is the widest counter display cabinet in the Displaysense range, and the extra 200mm over the 1000mm models changes what can be presented in a single counter position. A full jewellery collection that would span two 1000mm cabinets fits in one. A wider electronics range displays without items being pushed shoulder to shoulder on the shelf. A museum document series or coin collection reads as a continuous visual narrative rather than a split story across two separate units. The 1200mm span fills a counter position, an island display or a wall bay in a way that makes the cabinet a centrepiece feature rather than an accessory to the counter. For retailers, galleries, exhibitions and corporate reception areas where the display needs to make a strong visual impression from across the room, the wider cabinet does the visual heavy lifting.
The aluminium security frame locks the toughened glass top in place, preventing it from being lifted or removed without authorisation. Combined with the lockable sliding doors at the rear, every access point on the cabinet is controlled. In retail environments where the 1200mm width puts a broader range of high-value merchandise within arm's reach of passing customers, the security frame is the feature that protects the additional display area the wider cabinet creates. Eight top-mounted LED spotlights cast light downward across all three display levels evenly, covering the full 1200mm span without dark zones at the edges or shadows between the shelves.
Two adjustable tempered glass shelves sit on height-adjustable supports, each carrying up to 12kg evenly distributed. The solid base shelf provides a third display level. Three tiers across 1200mm create the largest tiered display area of any counter cabinet in the range. The lockable sliding glass doors open across the full 1200mm width for completely unobstructed staff access when loading, rearranging or presenting merchandise to a customer. The sliding mechanism requires no swing clearance behind the counter, which matters in retail and exhibition layouts where the space behind the cabinet is as constrained as the space in front of it.
The black anodised aluminium frame resists scratches, corrosion and fingerprints under daily commercial use. At 52kg the cabinet is the most substantial counter unit in the range and the heaviest, which contributes to its stability on a counter surface. Adjustable feet level the cabinet on any surface including the temporary and often uneven flooring of exhibition halls, event venues and trade show stands. UK 3-pin plug with rocker switch for the LED spotlights. Fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembly. Certificate downloadable immediately for procurement and compliance teams. Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered. Not available through any other retailer.

Questions About This 1200mm Black Counter Display Cabinet
Q: Why choose 1200mm instead of 1000mm?
A: The extra 200mm of width changes what fits in a single counter position. A jewellery collection that spans two 1000mm units fits in one 1200mm cabinet. A wider electronics range displays without cramping. A museum document series reads as a continuous narrative. If the counter position can accommodate 1200mm, this cabinet maximises the display area within that space.
Q: What does the aluminium security frame do?
A: The security frame locks the toughened glass top panel in place, preventing it from being lifted without authorisation. On a 1200mm cabinet the glass top covers a wider area and represents a larger potential access point than on the 1000mm models. The security frame ensures the wider top is as secure as the lockable front doors. The cabinet locks from the front and the top simultaneously.
Q: How many shelves does this have?
A: Two adjustable tempered glass shelves plus a solid base shelf, giving three display levels across the full 1200mm width. Each glass shelf supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. The widest shelf span in the counter cabinet range. Adjust heights to suit the items on display.
Q: Do the 8 LEDs cover the full 1200mm width evenly?
A: Yes. Eight top-mounted spotlights are configured to illuminate the full 1200mm span across all three display levels without dark zones at the edges or shadows between the shelves. The wider cabinet requires even light distribution across a greater span, and the eight-spot layout delivers that consistently.
Q: Is this suitable for jewellery display?
A: Yes. The 1200mm width presents a full jewellery collection in a single counter position. The security frame prevents the glass top being lifted. The lockable doors secure the front. Eight LEDs catch light on precious metals and gemstones. This is the counter specification for jewellers who need maximum display width with maximum security.
Q: Is this fire certified?
A: Yes. BS 5852:2006 Section 12, independently tested across the full assembly. Certificate downloadable immediately for procurement and compliance teams in retail, hospitality, education, NHS and public sector environments where fire compliance is a purchasing prerequisite.
Q: How do the sliding doors work on a 1200mm cabinet?
A: The glass doors slide along the full 1200mm width for completely unobstructed access when loading or rearranging. Slide closed and lock with the supplied key. The 1200mm sliding span provides wider access than the 1000mm models, making it easier to load and arrange merchandise across the full display area.
Q: Is this suitable for an exhibition stand?
A: Yes. The 1200mm width fills a larger wall bay or island position on an exhibition stand. Adjustable feet level the cabinet on temporary flooring. The security frame provides protection during unattended periods. At 52kg it is substantial but manageable for two people to position.
Q: How heavy is this and how is it delivered?
A: 52kg. The heaviest counter cabinet in the range. Ships flat-packed with free delivery to UK mainland addresses. All glass panels, shelves, security frame, LED spotlights, keys, adjustable feet, UK plug and assembly instructions are included. Two people recommended for assembly and positioning.
Q: Will the black finish show fingerprints?
A: The anodised aluminium surface resists fingerprints better than painted or powder-coated finishes. The anodising process creates a hard, integrated surface. Clean with a soft damp cloth. The wider 1200mm frame has more visible surface area, but the anodised finish maintains its appearance under daily handling.
Q: Is a narrower or deeper version available?
A: Yes. The DHC1004BK at 1000mm x 500mm provides the same LED and locking specification in a more compact width. The DHC1005BK at 1000mm x 600mm provides a deeper display area with the security frame. Choose the configuration that matches your counter position and merchandise depth.
Q: Is this a Displaysense exclusive?
A: Yes. Designed and built by Displaysense. The security frame is a Displaysense development. Not available through any other retailer. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood Festival of Speed. Direct support from the team that designed the counter range.
Counter Display, Retail Security and Visual Merchandising Guides
A wider counter cabinet displays more merchandise per linear metre. How you arrange items across the 1200mm span, whether you use all three levels and how the LED lighting interacts with the products determine whether the extra width converts into extra sales or just extra glass to clean. These guides cover the decisions.

A: The glass doors slide along the full 1200mm width for completely unobstructed access when loading or rearranging. Slide closed and lock with the supplied key. The 1200mm sliding span provides wider access than the 1000mm models, making it easier to load and arrange merchandise across the full display area.
Q: Is this suitable for an exhibition stand?
A: Yes. The 1200mm width fills a larger wall bay or island position on an exhibition stand. Adjustable feet level the cabinet on temporary flooring. The security frame provides protection during unattended periods. At 52kg it is substantial but manageable for two people to position.
Q: How heavy is this and how is it delivered?
A: 52kg. The heaviest counter cabinet in the range. Ships flat-packed with free delivery to UK mainland addresses. All glass panels, shelves, security frame, LED spotlights, keys, adjustable feet, UK plug and assembly instructions are included. Two people recommended for assembly and positioning.
Q: Will the black finish show fingerprints?
A: The anodised aluminium surface resists fingerprints better than painted or powder-coated finishes. The anodising process creates a hard, integrated surface. Clean with a soft damp cloth. The wider 1200mm frame has more visible surface area, but the anodised finish maintains its appearance under daily handling.
Q: Is a narrower or deeper version available?
A: Yes. The DHC1004BK at 1000mm x 500mm provides the same LED and locking specification in a more compact width. The DHC1005BK at 1000mm x 600mm provides a deeper display area with the security frame. Choose the configuration that matches your counter position and merchandise depth.
Q: Is this a Displaysense exclusive?
A: Yes. Designed and built by Displaysense. The security frame is a Displaysense development. Not available through any other retailer. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood Festival of Speed. Direct support from the team that designed the counter range.

Black Glass Counter Display Cabinet with Security Frame: 1200mm x 500mm, 8 LED Spotlights, Lockable Sliding Doors, Fire Certified
The widest counter cabinet in the range. The DHC1204BK delivers 1200mm of continuous display width across three levels behind lockable glass, under eight top-mounted LED spotlights, in a black anodised aluminium frame with the Displaysense aluminium security frame that locks the glass top in place. At 1200mm this cabinet presents longer product runs, wider collections and more merchandise per linear metre than the 1000mm models. Two adjustable tempered glass shelves plus a base shelf. Lockable sliding glass doors. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered. Not available through any other retailer.
900mm H x 1200mm W x 500mm D. Weight 52kg. Black anodised aluminium frame with aluminium security frame for glass top. Toughened safety glass panels. Two adjustable tempered glass shelves, 12kg each. Solid base shelf. 8 top-mounted LED spotlights. Lockable sliding glass doors with keys. Adjustable feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Flat-packed. Free UK mainland delivery.
Why 1200mm Changes the Display Equation
- 1200mm display width for longer product runs: Two hundred millimetres wider than the 1000mm models. That extra width accommodates longer jewellery collections, wider electronics ranges, more collectables per shelf and broader merchandise presentations. In a single counter position this cabinet displays what would require two narrower units side by side.
- Aluminium security frame locks the glass top: The security frame secures the toughened glass top to the cabinet, preventing it from being lifted without authorisation. Combined with the lockable sliding doors, the cabinet is secured from the front and the top simultaneously. The access point that standard counter cabinets leave unprotected is locked on this model.
- 8 top-mounted LED spotlights across the full 1200mm: Eight spotlights cast light downward across all three display levels evenly. The wider cabinet requires even illumination across a greater span, and the eight-spot configuration delivers that without dark zones or shadows at the edges.
- Lockable sliding glass doors for secure rear access: Staff slide the doors open along the full 1200mm width for unobstructed access. Slide closed and lock. No swing clearance required. Combined with the security frame, every access point is controlled.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified: Independently tested across the full assembly. Certificate downloadable for procurement teams. Essential for retail, hospitality, education and public sector environments where fire compliance is a purchasing prerequisite.
- Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered: Designed and built by Displaysense. The security frame is a Displaysense development. Not available through any other retailer. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Where the Widest Counter Cabinet Earns Its Position
| Jewellery, Watches, Fine Gifts | The 1200mm width presents a full jewellery collection across three levels in a single counter position. The security frame and lockable doors protect high-value merchandise from all access points. The extra width eliminates the need for two smaller cabinets side by side. |
| Electronics, Tech, Premium Retail | Wider product ranges, boxed items and premium tech accessories displayed across the full 1200mm span. The extra width accommodates larger product lines without items being cramped. The security frame protects from above in high-footfall retail positions. |
| Museums, Galleries, Heritage | Document collections, coin series, archaeological finds and curated object groups that benefit from a wider viewing span. The 1200mm width lets a curator tell a visual story across a single cabinet rather than splitting a collection between two smaller units. |
| Exhibition Stands, Events | Product launches and branded showcases where the cabinet forms the centrepiece of a stand. The 1200mm width fills a larger wall position or island display. Adjustable feet handle exhibition flooring. The security frame protects during unattended periods. |
| Hotel Reception, Corporate | Awards, branded products and corporate showcases in reception areas and conference centres where a wider display makes a stronger visual impression. The 1200mm span creates a feature display rather than a single-object showcase. |
| Collectables, Memorabilia | Larger collections displayed across the widest counter cabinet in the range. Three levels at 1200mm provide the most display area of any counter unit. The security frame and lockable doors protect the collection from all sides. |
Need a Narrower Width or a Deeper Cabinet?
For a more compact counter at the same 500mm depth, the DHC1004BK at 1000mm x 500mm offers the same LED and locking specification. For a deeper 600mm display area at 1000mm wide with security frame, see the DHC1005BK.

Displaysense DHC1204BK Black Aluminium Glass Counter Display Cabinet with Security Frame. Widest in range. 900mm H x 1200mm W x 500mm D. 52kg. Black anodised aluminium with security frame locking glass top. Toughened safety glass. Two adjustable tempered glass shelves, 12kg each, plus base shelf. 8 top-mounted LED spotlights. Lockable sliding doors. Adjustable feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered. Jewellery, watches, electronics, museums, exhibitions, hotels, corporate, collectables. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood. Displaysense since 1978.
Width determines how much of a collection a customer sees in a single glance. At 1200mm this is the widest counter display cabinet in the Displaysense range, and the extra 200mm over the 1000mm models changes what can be presented in a single counter position. A full jewellery collection that would span two 1000mm cabinets fits in one. A wider electronics range displays without items being pushed shoulder to shoulder on the shelf. A museum document series or coin collection reads as a continuous visual narrative rather than a split story across two separate units. The 1200mm span fills a counter position, an island display or a wall bay in a way that makes the cabinet a centrepiece feature rather than an accessory to the counter. For retailers, galleries, exhibitions and corporate reception areas where the display needs to make a strong visual impression from across the room, the wider cabinet does the visual heavy lifting.
The aluminium security frame locks the toughened glass top in place, preventing it from being lifted or removed without authorisation. Combined with the lockable sliding doors at the rear, every access point on the cabinet is controlled. In retail environments where the 1200mm width puts a broader range of high-value merchandise within arm's reach of passing customers, the security frame is the feature that protects the additional display area the wider cabinet creates. Eight top-mounted LED spotlights cast light downward across all three display levels evenly, covering the full 1200mm span without dark zones at the edges or shadows between the shelves.
Two adjustable tempered glass shelves sit on height-adjustable supports, each carrying up to 12kg evenly distributed. The solid base shelf provides a third display level. Three tiers across 1200mm create the largest tiered display area of any counter cabinet in the range. The lockable sliding glass doors open across the full 1200mm width for completely unobstructed staff access when loading, rearranging or presenting merchandise to a customer. The sliding mechanism requires no swing clearance behind the counter, which matters in retail and exhibition layouts where the space behind the cabinet is as constrained as the space in front of it.
The black anodised aluminium frame resists scratches, corrosion and fingerprints under daily commercial use. At 52kg the cabinet is the most substantial counter unit in the range and the heaviest, which contributes to its stability on a counter surface. Adjustable feet level the cabinet on any surface including the temporary and often uneven flooring of exhibition halls, event venues and trade show stands. UK 3-pin plug with rocker switch for the LED spotlights. Fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembly. Certificate downloadable immediately for procurement and compliance teams. Displaysense exclusive, UK-engineered. Not available through any other retailer.

Questions About This 1200mm Black Counter Display Cabinet
Q: Why choose 1200mm instead of 1000mm?
A: The extra 200mm of width changes what fits in a single counter position. A jewellery collection that spans two 1000mm units fits in one 1200mm cabinet. A wider electronics range displays without cramping. A museum document series reads as a continuous narrative. If the counter position can accommodate 1200mm, this cabinet maximises the display area within that space.
Q: What does the aluminium security frame do?
A: The security frame locks the toughened glass top panel in place, preventing it from being lifted without authorisation. On a 1200mm cabinet the glass top covers a wider area and represents a larger potential access point than on the 1000mm models. The security frame ensures the wider top is as secure as the lockable front doors. The cabinet locks from the front and the top simultaneously.
Q: How many shelves does this have?
A: Two adjustable tempered glass shelves plus a solid base shelf, giving three display levels across the full 1200mm width. Each glass shelf supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. The widest shelf span in the counter cabinet range. Adjust heights to suit the items on display.
Q: Do the 8 LEDs cover the full 1200mm width evenly?
A: Yes. Eight top-mounted spotlights are configured to illuminate the full 1200mm span across all three display levels without dark zones at the edges or shadows between the shelves. The wider cabinet requires even light distribution across a greater span, and the eight-spot layout delivers that consistently.
Q: Is this suitable for jewellery display?
A: Yes. The 1200mm width presents a full jewellery collection in a single counter position. The security frame prevents the glass top being lifted. The lockable doors secure the front. Eight LEDs catch light on precious metals and gemstones. This is the counter specification for jewellers who need maximum display width with maximum security.
Q: Is this fire certified?
A: Yes. BS 5852:2006 Section 12, independently tested across the full assembly. Certificate downloadable immediately for procurement and compliance teams in retail, hospitality, education, NHS and public sector environments where fire compliance is a purchasing prerequisite.
Q: How do the sliding doors work on a 1200mm cabinet?
A: The glass doors slide along the full 1200mm width for completely unobstructed access when loading or rearranging. Slide closed and lock with the supplied key. The 1200mm sliding span provides wider access than the 1000mm models, making it easier to load and arrange merchandise across the full display area.
Q: Is this suitable for an exhibition stand?
A: Yes. The 1200mm width fills a larger wall bay or island position on an exhibition stand. Adjustable feet level the cabinet on temporary flooring. The security frame provides protection during unattended periods. At 52kg it is substantial but manageable for two people to position.
Q: How heavy is this and how is it delivered?
A: 52kg. The heaviest counter cabinet in the range. Ships flat-packed with free delivery to UK mainland addresses. All glass panels, shelves, security frame, LED spotlights, keys, adjustable feet, UK plug and assembly instructions are included. Two people recommended for assembly and positioning.
Q: Will the black finish show fingerprints?
A: The anodised aluminium surface resists fingerprints better than painted or powder-coated finishes. The anodising process creates a hard, integrated surface. Clean with a soft damp cloth. The wider 1200mm frame has more visible surface area, but the anodised finish maintains its appearance under daily handling.
Q: Is a narrower or deeper version available?
A: Yes. The DHC1004BK at 1000mm x 500mm provides the same LED and locking specification in a more compact width. The DHC1005BK at 1000mm x 600mm provides a deeper display area with the security frame. Choose the configuration that matches your counter position and merchandise depth.
Q: Is this a Displaysense exclusive?
A: Yes. Designed and built by Displaysense. The security frame is a Displaysense development. Not available through any other retailer. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood Festival of Speed. Direct support from the team that designed the counter range.

FAQs
Questions About This 1200mm Black Counter Display Cabinet
Q: Why choose 1200mm instead of 1000mm?
A: The extra 200mm of width changes what fits in a single counter position. A jewellery collection that spans two 1000mm units fits in one 1200mm cabinet. A wider electronics range displays without cramping. A museum document series reads as a continuous narrative. If the counter position can accommodate 1200mm, this cabinet maximises the display area within that space.
Q: What does the aluminium security frame do?
A: The security frame locks the toughened glass top panel in place, preventing it from being lifted without authorisation. On a 1200mm cabinet the glass top covers a wider area and represents a larger potential access point than on the 1000mm models. The security frame ensures the wider top is as secure as the lockable front doors. The cabinet locks from the front and the top simultaneously.
Q: How many shelves does this have?
A: Two adjustable tempered glass shelves plus a solid base shelf, giving three display levels across the full 1200mm width. Each glass shelf supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. The widest shelf span in the counter cabinet range. Adjust heights to suit the items on display.
Q: Do the 8 LEDs cover the full 1200mm width evenly?
A: Yes. Eight top-mounted spotlights are configured to illuminate the full 1200mm span across all three display levels without dark zones at the edges or shadows between the shelves. The wider cabinet requires even light distribution across a greater span, and the eight-spot layout delivers that consistently.
Q: Is this suitable for jewellery display?
A: Yes. The 1200mm width presents a full jewellery collection in a single counter position. The security frame prevents the glass top being lifted. The lockable doors secure the front. Eight LEDs catch light on precious metals and gemstones. This is the counter specification for jewellers who need maximum display width with maximum security.
Q: Is this fire certified?
A: Yes. BS 5852:2006 Section 12, independently tested across the full assembly. Certificate downloadable immediately for procurement and compliance teams in retail, hospitality, education, NHS and public sector environments where fire compliance is a purchasing prerequisite.
Q: How do the sliding doors work on a 1200mm cabinet?
A: The glass doors slide along the full 1200mm width for completely unobstructed access when loading or rearranging. Slide closed and lock with the supplied key. The 1200mm sliding span provides wider access than the 1000mm models, making it easier to load and arrange merchandise across the full display area.
Q: Is this suitable for an exhibition stand?
A: Yes. The 1200mm width fills a larger wall bay or island position on an exhibition stand. Adjustable feet level the cabinet on temporary flooring. The security frame provides protection during unattended periods. At 52kg it is substantial but manageable for two people to position.
Q: How heavy is this and how is it delivered?
A: 52kg. The heaviest counter cabinet in the range. Ships flat-packed with free delivery to UK mainland addresses. All glass panels, shelves, security frame, LED spotlights, keys, adjustable feet, UK plug and assembly instructions are included. Two people recommended for assembly and positioning.
Q: Will the black finish show fingerprints?
A: The anodised aluminium surface resists fingerprints better than painted or powder-coated finishes. The anodising process creates a hard, integrated surface. Clean with a soft damp cloth. The wider 1200mm frame has more visible surface area, but the anodised finish maintains its appearance under daily handling.
Q: Is a narrower or deeper version available?
A: Yes. The DHC1004BK at 1000mm x 500mm provides the same LED and locking specification in a more compact width. The DHC1005BK at 1000mm x 600mm provides a deeper display area with the security frame. Choose the configuration that matches your counter position and merchandise depth.
Q: Is this a Displaysense exclusive?
A: Yes. Designed and built by Displaysense. The security frame is a Displaysense development. Not available through any other retailer. Trusted by Harrods, Selfridges and Goodwood Festival of Speed. Direct support from the team that designed the counter range.

Counter Display, Retail Security and Visual Merchandising Guides
A wider counter cabinet displays more merchandise per linear metre. How you arrange items across the 1200mm span, whether you use all three levels and how the LED lighting interacts with the products determine whether the extra width converts into extra sales or just extra glass to clean. These guides cover the decisions.
