Two Jobs. One Column. The Narrowest Black DTK Storage Cabinet.
The DTK400BK is the 400mm wide black-framed model in the DTK storage display range: an illuminated glass display section above a lockable opaque base storage compartment below, in a single black aluminium frame at 1800mm tall. Three 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights, a single hinged door on the display section, an independently lockable base compartment, and BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification. At 400mm this is the narrowest model in the black DTK storage range and the one that fits where no wider cabinet can: recesses, end-of-run positions, beside doors, in corners of exhibition stands.
Key Features
- Lockable Base Storage Compartment: The 500mm opaque base section locks independently from the display section above with its own key. Contents are completely concealed. Suited to spare retail stock, accessories, packaging or operational items that need to be on hand but out of sight.
- 400mm Black Aluminium Frame: The narrowest black DTK storage model. Creates a precise high-contrast vertical accent that draws the eye upward. Fits recesses, end-of-run positions and corridor ends where wider cabinets will not go. Stands without wall-fixing once assembled.
- 3 Adjustable Tempered Glass Shelves: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, settable to any height without tools. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. Remove all three to use the full display column for tall items.
- 9 Integrated 6400K Daylight LEDs: One overhead and eight side-mounted spotlights built permanently into the frame, illuminating every shelf level evenly. At 400mm the single-top, eight-side configuration is calibrated to this interior width. 6400K daylight renders true colour with no warm cast.
- Single Hinged Door on Display Section: Opens the full interior width in one movement for completely unobstructed access. Key lock, two keys supplied.
- Independent Locks: Display and storage section each lock with a separate key. Access to each can be managed independently, useful where different staff require different levels of access to the same unit.
- Levelling Feet: Adjustable for stable positioning on uneven floor surfaces.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Certified: Independently tested across the complete assembly. Certificate available immediately. Download fire certification.
- Assembly Required: Flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. Watch the assembly video on YouTube.
- Also Available: Need display only at 400mm in black? The DTS400CBK carries four display shelves in the same black frame with no base compartment. Prefer silver with base storage? See DTK401.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail and Boutique | Jewellers, boutiques and gift shops where the 400mm footprint fits the gap between existing counters or at the end of a shelving run. Display stock above, restocking items locked in the base below. The black frame suits dark-toned and high-contrast retail interiors. |
| Salons and Wellness | Retail product display above with treatment accessories or client products secured in the base. At 400mm it occupies a single column of floor space in environments where every square metre is allocated between treatment and display. |
| Exhibition and Events | A complete display column in a 400mm footprint. Display merchandise above with literature and personal effects locked in the base. Fits into shell scheme corners and end-of-stand positions without consuming presentation space. |
| Corporate and Office | Awards or branded objects displayed in the illuminated column above, with confidential materials locked in the base. The narrow footprint suits corridor display positions and reception areas where floor space is limited. |
| NHS and Public Sector | Fire certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 for use in public buildings. At 400mm it creates a display position in corridor ends, waiting areas and reception spaces where a wider cabinet would obstruct circulation. |
| Education | Trophies and achievements displayed in the column above with display management materials locked in the base. BS 5852:2006 fire compliance meets standard school and university procurement requirements in a minimal footprint. |
| Home and Collectors | Figures, collectables, jewellery or small-format items displayed in a high-contrast black column with hobby materials or packaging stored out of sight in the base. The narrow width disappears into the space rather than dominating a room. |

Product reference: DTK400BK. Displaysense 400mm black aluminium glass storage display cabinet. Freestanding. 1800mm H x 400mm W x 400mm D. Display section: 3 x 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod track, 12kg per shelf, 9 x 6400K LEDs (1 top, 8 side), single hinged door, key lock, 2 keys. Base storage: 500mm high, opaque, independently lockable. Levelling feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Heavy goods pallet delivery. Displaysense since 1978.
The Displaysense DTK400BK black glass storage display cabinet does two things within a 400mm footprint. Above: a full-height illuminated glass display with three adjustable shelves and 9 integrated LEDs. Below: a lockable 500mm base storage compartment with its own independent key, completely concealed behind solid panels. At 400mm wide and 1800mm tall in a black aluminium frame, it is the narrowest model in the black DTK storage range. It fits the gaps that no wider cabinet can reach: architectural recesses, the space between existing furniture, beside a door frame, at the end of a retail run. A single hinged door, high-contrast finish, and two independent locks in a footprint no larger than a single shelf unit.
The black aluminium frame at 400mm creates a precise vertical accent that draws the eye upward. Against pale walls the contrast is deliberate: the illuminated display inside reads sharply against the dark surround. The 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights (one overhead, eight side-mounted) illuminate every shelf level evenly regardless of configuration, producing clean daylight light that renders true colour with no warm cast. At a narrow width where the frame occupies a significant proportion of the visible surface, a black finish makes the lit interior the entire focus.
The base storage compartment locks independently from the display section above. Each has its own key. In a salon, a boutique, a reception area or an exhibition stand, this means display stock is visible while backup stock, accessories, packaging or operational materials stay locked and concealed directly below. At 400mm the storage capacity is practical for the kinds of items that belong immediately to hand at the display: restocking is a matter of unlocking the base, not a trip to a separate stockroom.
The three 5mm tempered glass shelves sit on a continuous rod track through the full height of the display section. Any shelf sets to any position and locks without tools. Remove all three to use the full column height for a single tall piece. The single hinged door opens the full interior width in one movement, secured by a key lock with two keys supplied. Levelling feet ensure stability on uneven floor surfaces.
Fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled unit. The certificate is available to download immediately for procurement and compliance teams. Displaysense has been designing and supplying display cabinets in the UK since 1978. This is an own-design product. You purchase from and deal directly with the supplier, not a reseller.

Product reference: DTK400BK. Displaysense 400mm black aluminium glass storage display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 400mm, depth 400mm. Black aluminium frame. Display section: 3 x 5mm tempered glass shelves on rod track, 12kg per shelf, 9 x 6400K LEDs (1 top, 8 side), single hinged door, key lock, 2 keys. Base storage: 500mm high, opaque, independently lockable. Levelling feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Heavy goods pallet delivery. Displaysense since 1978.
The DTK400BK is the narrowest black-framed model in the DTK storage display range. At 400mm wide it occupies a footprint no other black DTK model can match, while carrying the same display section specification (glass, rod shelf system, fire compliance) as the wider models. The 9-LED configuration and single hinged door are calibrated to the 400mm interior, not a reduction from a wider specification.
The black aluminium frame creates high visual contrast in any setting. At 400mm the frame occupies a larger proportion of the visible surface than at any wider width, which makes the lit interior read as the entire subject. Plan the final position before delivery day.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full floor-to-near-ceiling display height at the smallest possible floor footprint in the DTK range. |
| Width | 400mm | The narrowest black DTK storage model. Fits recesses, end-of-run positions, beside doors and corridor ends where no wider cabinet will go. |
| Depth | 400mm | Standard display cabinet depth. Sits flush against a wall without encroaching on circulation space. |
| Frame | Black aluminium | Creates high contrast between the frame and display contents. At 400mm this makes the lit interior the sole visual focus. Corrosion-resistant under normal indoor conditions. |
| Display Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Commercial specification for load-bearing shelves. Each shelf supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. |
| Shelf System | 3 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Slide each shelf to any height in the display section and lock without tools. No fixed increments. Remove all three to open the full display column for tall items. |
| LED Lighting | 9 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight (1 top, 8 side) | Built permanently into the frame. The 1-top, 8-side arrangement is calibrated to the 400mm interior, illuminating every shelf level evenly. 6400K daylight renders true colour with no warm cast. |
| Display Door | Single hinged door, full-width | The correct configuration for this width. Opens the full 400mm interior in one movement for completely unobstructed access. Key lock, two keys supplied. |
| Base Storage | 500mm high, opaque, independently lockable | Fully enclosed on all sides. Locks independently from the display section with its own key. Contents completely concealed. Suited to backup stock, accessories or operational materials that need to be on hand but out of sight. |
| Locking | Independent key locks on display section and base storage | Each section has its own key. Access to the display and the storage can be managed separately, appropriate where different users require different levels of access. |
| Levelling Feet | 4 x adjustable | Stable positioning on uneven or textured floor surfaces without shimming. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the DTK400BK?
A: The DTK400BK measures 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep. The illuminated display section occupies the upper portion of the cabinet with the 500mm lockable base storage compartment below.
Q: What is the base storage compartment?
A: The lower 500mm of the cabinet is a fully enclosed opaque storage section with its own independent key lock, completely separate from the display section above. It conceals its contents on all sides and is suited to spare stock, accessories, packaging or any operational items that need to be on hand but out of sight.
Q: Do the display section and base storage lock independently?
A: Yes. Each section has its own key lock. Access to the illuminated display and access to the base storage can be managed completely independently, which is useful where different staff require different levels of access to the same unit.
Q: Why does this cabinet have 9 LEDs rather than 10?
A: The 400mm models across the DTK range use 9 integrated spotlights: one positioned overhead and eight mounted along the sides. This arrangement is calibrated to the narrower interior and provides even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level. Wider models use 10 LEDs to cover their larger display area.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track in the display section. Each shelf slides to any height and locks without tools. No fixed increments. Remove all three to open the full display column for tall items.
Q: How does the door work?
A: The display section has a single hinged door that opens the full 400mm interior width in one movement for completely unobstructed access. A key lock secures the door. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: Does the cabinet need to be fixed to a wall?
A: No. The black aluminium frame with a solid base construction and levelling feet stands securely as a freestanding unit. Wall-fixing is not required.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: It is independently tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public environments. Testing covers the complete assembly. The certificate is available to download directly from this page for immediate use with procurement or compliance teams.
Q: Is this cabinet suitable for NHS, public sector or educational use?
A: Yes. The BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification makes it suitable for use in public buildings including NHS facilities, council offices, schools and universities. The certificate can be submitted directly to procurement or estates teams.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other sizes or in silver?
A: Yes to both. The black DTK storage range is available in wider widths. If you want the same storage display format in silver at 400mm, see the DTK401. For a pure display cabinet without base storage in black at 400mm, the DTS400CBK carries four display shelves with no base compartment.
Q: How is this cabinet delivered?
A: This is a heavy goods item delivered on a pallet via specialist tail-lift courier, free to Zone 1 UK Mainland. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full delivery zone details are in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes. It is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and written instructions included. Watch our assembly walkthrough on YouTube before you start.

Two Jobs. One Column. The Narrowest Black DTK Storage Cabinet.
The DTK400BK is the 400mm wide black-framed model in the DTK storage display range: an illuminated glass display section above a lockable opaque base storage compartment below, in a single black aluminium frame at 1800mm tall. Three 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights, a single hinged door on the display section, an independently lockable base compartment, and BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification. At 400mm this is the narrowest model in the black DTK storage range and the one that fits where no wider cabinet can: recesses, end-of-run positions, beside doors, in corners of exhibition stands.
Key Features
- Lockable Base Storage Compartment: The 500mm opaque base section locks independently from the display section above with its own key. Contents are completely concealed. Suited to spare retail stock, accessories, packaging or operational items that need to be on hand but out of sight.
- 400mm Black Aluminium Frame: The narrowest black DTK storage model. Creates a precise high-contrast vertical accent that draws the eye upward. Fits recesses, end-of-run positions and corridor ends where wider cabinets will not go. Stands without wall-fixing once assembled.
- 3 Adjustable Tempered Glass Shelves: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, settable to any height without tools. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. Remove all three to use the full display column for tall items.
- 9 Integrated 6400K Daylight LEDs: One overhead and eight side-mounted spotlights built permanently into the frame, illuminating every shelf level evenly. At 400mm the single-top, eight-side configuration is calibrated to this interior width. 6400K daylight renders true colour with no warm cast.
- Single Hinged Door on Display Section: Opens the full interior width in one movement for completely unobstructed access. Key lock, two keys supplied.
- Independent Locks: Display and storage section each lock with a separate key. Access to each can be managed independently, useful where different staff require different levels of access to the same unit.
- Levelling Feet: Adjustable for stable positioning on uneven floor surfaces.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Certified: Independently tested across the complete assembly. Certificate available immediately. Download fire certification.
- Assembly Required: Flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. Watch the assembly video on YouTube.
- Also Available: Need display only at 400mm in black? The DTS400CBK carries four display shelves in the same black frame with no base compartment. Prefer silver with base storage? See DTK401.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail and Boutique | Jewellers, boutiques and gift shops where the 400mm footprint fits the gap between existing counters or at the end of a shelving run. Display stock above, restocking items locked in the base below. The black frame suits dark-toned and high-contrast retail interiors. |
| Salons and Wellness | Retail product display above with treatment accessories or client products secured in the base. At 400mm it occupies a single column of floor space in environments where every square metre is allocated between treatment and display. |
| Exhibition and Events | A complete display column in a 400mm footprint. Display merchandise above with literature and personal effects locked in the base. Fits into shell scheme corners and end-of-stand positions without consuming presentation space. |
| Corporate and Office | Awards or branded objects displayed in the illuminated column above, with confidential materials locked in the base. The narrow footprint suits corridor display positions and reception areas where floor space is limited. |
| NHS and Public Sector | Fire certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 for use in public buildings. At 400mm it creates a display position in corridor ends, waiting areas and reception spaces where a wider cabinet would obstruct circulation. |
| Education | Trophies and achievements displayed in the column above with display management materials locked in the base. BS 5852:2006 fire compliance meets standard school and university procurement requirements in a minimal footprint. |
| Home and Collectors | Figures, collectables, jewellery or small-format items displayed in a high-contrast black column with hobby materials or packaging stored out of sight in the base. The narrow width disappears into the space rather than dominating a room. |

Product reference: DTK400BK. Displaysense 400mm black aluminium glass storage display cabinet. Freestanding. 1800mm H x 400mm W x 400mm D. Display section: 3 x 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod track, 12kg per shelf, 9 x 6400K LEDs (1 top, 8 side), single hinged door, key lock, 2 keys. Base storage: 500mm high, opaque, independently lockable. Levelling feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Heavy goods pallet delivery. Displaysense since 1978.
The Displaysense DTK400BK black glass storage display cabinet does two things within a 400mm footprint. Above: a full-height illuminated glass display with three adjustable shelves and 9 integrated LEDs. Below: a lockable 500mm base storage compartment with its own independent key, completely concealed behind solid panels. At 400mm wide and 1800mm tall in a black aluminium frame, it is the narrowest model in the black DTK storage range. It fits the gaps that no wider cabinet can reach: architectural recesses, the space between existing furniture, beside a door frame, at the end of a retail run. A single hinged door, high-contrast finish, and two independent locks in a footprint no larger than a single shelf unit.
The black aluminium frame at 400mm creates a precise vertical accent that draws the eye upward. Against pale walls the contrast is deliberate: the illuminated display inside reads sharply against the dark surround. The 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights (one overhead, eight side-mounted) illuminate every shelf level evenly regardless of configuration, producing clean daylight light that renders true colour with no warm cast. At a narrow width where the frame occupies a significant proportion of the visible surface, a black finish makes the lit interior the entire focus.
The base storage compartment locks independently from the display section above. Each has its own key. In a salon, a boutique, a reception area or an exhibition stand, this means display stock is visible while backup stock, accessories, packaging or operational materials stay locked and concealed directly below. At 400mm the storage capacity is practical for the kinds of items that belong immediately to hand at the display: restocking is a matter of unlocking the base, not a trip to a separate stockroom.
The three 5mm tempered glass shelves sit on a continuous rod track through the full height of the display section. Any shelf sets to any position and locks without tools. Remove all three to use the full column height for a single tall piece. The single hinged door opens the full interior width in one movement, secured by a key lock with two keys supplied. Levelling feet ensure stability on uneven floor surfaces.
Fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled unit. The certificate is available to download immediately for procurement and compliance teams. Displaysense has been designing and supplying display cabinets in the UK since 1978. This is an own-design product. You purchase from and deal directly with the supplier, not a reseller.

The DTK400BK is the narrowest black-framed model in the DTK storage display range. At 400mm wide it occupies a footprint no other black DTK model can match, while carrying the same display section specification (glass, rod shelf system, fire compliance) as the wider models. The 9-LED configuration and single hinged door are calibrated to the 400mm interior, not a reduction from a wider specification.
The black aluminium frame creates high visual contrast in any setting. At 400mm the frame occupies a larger proportion of the visible surface than at any wider width, which makes the lit interior read as the entire subject. Plan the final position before delivery day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the DTK400BK?
A: The DTK400BK measures 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep. The illuminated display section occupies the upper portion of the cabinet with the 500mm lockable base storage compartment below.
Q: What is the base storage compartment?
A: The lower 500mm of the cabinet is a fully enclosed opaque storage section with its own independent key lock, completely separate from the display section above. It conceals its contents on all sides and is suited to spare stock, accessories, packaging or any operational items that need to be on hand but out of sight.
Q: Do the display section and base storage lock independently?
A: Yes. Each section has its own key lock. Access to the illuminated display and access to the base storage can be managed completely independently, which is useful where different staff require different levels of access to the same unit.
Q: Why does this cabinet have 9 LEDs rather than 10?
A: The 400mm models across the DTK range use 9 integrated spotlights: one positioned overhead and eight mounted along the sides. This arrangement is calibrated to the narrower interior and provides even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level. Wider models use 10 LEDs to cover their larger display area.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track in the display section. Each shelf slides to any height and locks without tools. No fixed increments. Remove all three to open the full display column for tall items.
Q: How does the door work?
A: The display section has a single hinged door that opens the full 400mm interior width in one movement for completely unobstructed access. A key lock secures the door. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: Does the cabinet need to be fixed to a wall?
A: No. The black aluminium frame with a solid base construction and levelling feet stands securely as a freestanding unit. Wall-fixing is not required.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: It is independently tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public environments. Testing covers the complete assembly. The certificate is available to download directly from this page for immediate use with procurement or compliance teams.
Q: Is this cabinet suitable for NHS, public sector or educational use?
A: Yes. The BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification makes it suitable for use in public buildings including NHS facilities, council offices, schools and universities. The certificate can be submitted directly to procurement or estates teams.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other sizes or in silver?
A: Yes to both. The black DTK storage range is available in wider widths. If you want the same storage display format in silver at 400mm, see the DTK401. For a pure display cabinet without base storage in black at 400mm, the DTS400CBK carries four display shelves with no base compartment.
Q: How is this cabinet delivered?
A: This is a heavy goods item delivered on a pallet via specialist tail-lift courier, free to Zone 1 UK Mainland. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full delivery zone details are in the Delivery tab.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the DTK400BK?
A: The DTK400BK measures 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep. The illuminated display section occupies the upper portion of the cabinet with the 500mm lockable base storage compartment below.
Q: What is the base storage compartment?
A: The lower 500mm of the cabinet is a fully enclosed opaque storage section with its own independent key lock, completely separate from the display section above. It conceals its contents on all sides and is suited to spare stock, accessories, packaging or any operational items that need to be on hand but out of sight.
Q: Do the display section and base storage lock independently?
A: Yes. Each section has its own key lock. Access to the illuminated display and access to the base storage can be managed completely independently, which is useful where different staff require different levels of access to the same unit.
Q: Why does this cabinet have 9 LEDs rather than 10?
A: The 400mm models across the DTK range use 9 integrated spotlights: one positioned overhead and eight mounted along the sides. This arrangement is calibrated to the narrower interior and provides even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level. Wider models use 10 LEDs to cover their larger display area.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track in the display section. Each shelf slides to any height and locks without tools. No fixed increments. Remove all three to open the full display column for tall items.
Q: How does the door work?
A: The display section has a single hinged door that opens the full 400mm interior width in one movement for completely unobstructed access. A key lock secures the door. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: Does the cabinet need to be fixed to a wall?
A: No. The black aluminium frame with a solid base construction and levelling feet stands securely as a freestanding unit. Wall-fixing is not required.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: It is independently tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public environments. Testing covers the complete assembly. The certificate is available to download directly from this page for immediate use with procurement or compliance teams.
Q: Is this cabinet suitable for NHS, public sector or educational use?
A: Yes. The BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification makes it suitable for use in public buildings including NHS facilities, council offices, schools and universities. The certificate can be submitted directly to procurement or estates teams.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other sizes or in silver?
A: Yes to both. The black DTK storage range is available in wider widths. If you want the same storage display format in silver at 400mm, see the DTK401. For a pure display cabinet without base storage in black at 400mm, the DTS400CBK carries four display shelves with no base compartment.
Q: How is this cabinet delivered?
A: This is a heavy goods item delivered on a pallet via specialist tail-lift courier, free to Zone 1 UK Mainland. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full delivery zone details are in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes. It is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and written instructions included. Watch our assembly walkthrough on YouTube before you start.
