A Mid-Range Width. Full-Range Specification.
The 800mm black glass display cabinet sits at mid-range in the DTS series. Wider than the compact 600mm models, narrower than the statement 1000mm and 1200mm units, it is the right choice when the display needs real capacity without the cabinet dominating the room. Every specification detail is shared across the full DTS range: the same 360-degree glass construction, the same rod shelf system, the same integrated LED array, the same fire compliance standard. The only difference at 800mm is the footprint.
Key Features
- Black Aluminium Frame, 59.51kg: Precision-formed black aluminium throughout. A finish that creates contrast with the glass and makes the display the visual focus. At 59.51kg the cabinet stands without wall-fixing and can be positioned by a single person.
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors. Full display visibility from any angle of approach, with no opaque panels blocking the view from any direction.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: Displaysense is the manufacturer. You are buying directly from the people who designed and built this cabinet. No reseller, no intermediary, no uncertainty about post-purchase support.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Five shelves slide to any height on a continuous rod track and lock in position. No fixed increments, no tools required. Remove all five to open the full 1800mm interior column for tall or oversized items.
- 10 Integrated 6400K Daylight LED Spotlights: Built permanently into the black frame. Daylight colour temperature renders true colour across the full 800mm interior with no shadows or dark zones at any shelf level.
- Lockable Hinged Double Doors: Full-width doors open completely for unobstructed access. One key secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys supplied.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Compliant: Independently tested across the complete assembly. Certificate available to download immediately. Download fire certification.
- Need More Shelves? We supply the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions for a local glazier to cut additional panels. Shelf support rods are available from us after purchase. Contact us for details.
- Assembly Required: Delivered flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. Watch our assembly video on YouTube.
- Also Available: Step up to the 1000mm black (DTS1000CBK) for more shelf width at the same specification. Prefer a silver frame? The direct equivalent is DTS801LED.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail | Jewellery, watches, small collectables and premium merchandise in boutique or high street settings where a compact but fully specified cabinet is needed |
| Museums and Heritage | Artefacts and objects where 360-degree glass visibility is a curatorial requirement and fire compliance is a baseline for public display |
| Schools and Education | Trophy display, awards and achievement items in reception or corridor spaces where the cabinet is seen daily by students, staff and visitors |
| Offices and Corporate | Brand merchandise, awards and partner gifts displayed in reception or boardroom areas. The black frame suits contemporary corporate interiors with dark accents or strong branding |

Product reference: DTS800CBK. Displaysense 800mm black aluminium glass display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 800mm, depth 400mm, weight 59.51kg. Black aluminium frame. 4mm toughened glass on doors, sides, rear. 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod track system, infinite adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 10 x 6400K LED spotlights. Hinged double doors, key lock, 2 keys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 compliant. UK-designed and manufactured since 1978.
Not every display wall has room for a full-width cabinet, and not every collection needs one. The DTS800CBK is the choice when the space is considered and the footprint matters, but the presentation still needs to be right. At 800mm wide and 1800mm tall, this black aluminium glass display cabinet fits into corners, alcoves, reception areas and retail runs where larger units will not go, without giving up the things that make a cabinet worth having: 360-degree toughened glass on all sides, back and doors, 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights, five 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, and a black aluminium frame independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12.
Width shapes what a cabinet can do. At 800mm you have a display surface wide enough to present a curated range across several shelves without the cabinet itself becoming the room's dominant feature. A jeweller can show a considered edit of pieces by category. A school reception can house a season's trophies. A collector can display a section of a larger collection on a unit that holds its own without overwhelming a living space. The 800mm width is the point in the range where a cabinet becomes genuinely versatile across both commercial and home settings.
The black aluminium frame is structural, not decorative. Precision-formed from the same heavy-gauge aluminium used across the DTS series, the matte black finish creates contrast against the glass and lets the display read as the visual focus. In darker or more graphic interiors, a retail setting with strong brand identity, or a home display room with a bold colour palette, the black aluminium frame is the finish that works with the space rather than against it.
The 360-degree glass construction means there are no opaque panels anywhere. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. In a retail floor where customers browse from any angle, a school corridor where the cabinet is seen in passing, or a reception where it is visible from multiple entry points, this is the construction that justifies the cabinet rather than a simpler alternatives.
Inside, the five 5mm tempered glass shelves run on a continuous rod track the full interior height of the cabinet. Every shelf slides to any height and locks there. No predefined holes, no fixed positions. Arrange shelves around the items rather than the other way around. Remove them entirely and the full 1800mm column is available for taller pieces. The hinged double doors open to the full cabinet width for completely unobstructed access. One key secures both simultaneously. Two keys supplied.
Displaysense has been designing and manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978. We are the manufacturer, not a reseller. The black aluminium frame at 59.51kg is built to stand without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment and is light enough for a single person to move into position on delivery day. The glass throughout is independently tested. The fire safety certificate for BS 5852:2006 Section 12 is available to download immediately and can go directly to your procurement or compliance team.
The cabinet ships with five shelves. If your display requires more, contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for a local glazier. Shelf support rods are available from us separately.
Independent fire safety testing to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 covers the complete assembly: glass, frame and construction together, not individual components in isolation. The full certificate is available to download here for immediate use with facilities, procurement or compliance teams.

The 800mm model shares the same glass specification, shelf system, LED count and fire compliance as every cabinet in the DTS range. At 800mm wide, 1800mm tall and 59.51kg, it is the width in the range that suits the widest variety of settings: substantial enough to display a full collection across five shelves, compact enough to fit into spaces where a larger unit simply will not go.
At 59.51kg the cabinet can be positioned by a single person, which simplifies delivery day considerably. Once placed it stands without wall-fixing. Plan the final position before delivery so it only needs to be moved once.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. You are buying directly from the people who built this cabinet, with no reseller, no intermediary, and no uncertainty about support after purchase. |
| Frame Finish | Black aluminium | A finish that creates strong visual contrast with the glass and makes the display the focus. The right choice for contemporary retail interiors, collector display rooms with bold palettes, and corporate environments with a graphic identity. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Floor-to-near-ceiling presence that maximises vertical display capacity. Visible from across a room without requiring a wide footprint. |
| Width | 800mm | Mid-range in the DTS series. Wide enough to display a curated collection or product range across five shelves without the cabinet dominating the room. Narrow enough to fit into alcoves, retail runs and spaces where the 1000mm or 1200mm models will not. |
| Depth | 400mm | Sufficient for layered product arrangements and standard display depths without an excessive floor footprint or obstruction to circulation around the cabinet. |
| Weight | 59.51kg | Heavy enough to stand securely without wall-fixing. Light enough to be moved by a single person, which simplifies delivery day and any future repositioning. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | No opaque panels. Full display visibility from every angle of approach. Essential wherever visitors or customers move around the cabinet rather than viewing it only from the front. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification. Built to withstand the daily contact loads of high-traffic public environments without risk of breakage from normal use. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Load-bearing shelves are one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered glass is the correct commercial grade for shelves carrying product weight continuously. |
| Shelf System | 5 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | No fixed holes. Slide shelves to the exact height required and lock them. Remove all five to open the full 1800mm column. Reconfigures without tools in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Suitable for the full range of typical display items across all five levels. Distribute heavier pieces across lower shelves to keep the centre of gravity low. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact cutting dimensions. A local glazier produces the 5mm tempered panels. We supply additional rod supports. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights built permanently into the black frame, positioned to cover every shelf level across the full 800mm width. 6400K daylight colour temperature renders the true colour of displayed items accurately. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. We are not a reseller and we do not source this product from third parties. The DTS range, including this 800mm black model, was designed by our own team. We have been manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 800mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 59.51kg. These are the external frame dimensions. Usable interior display space is marginally smaller once the black aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: It means the cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. There is no solid back wall cutting visibility from an oblique angle.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The five 5mm tempered glass shelves travel this track and can be set to any height. Slide to position, lock in place. No fixed holes, no tools required. Remove all five shelves entirely to open up the full 1800mm interior column for a tall piece or floor-standing item.
Q: Can I order extra shelves?
A: Yes. Contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions. Any local glazier can produce additional shelves to fit. We also supply the shelf support rods separately.
Q: What are the LED lights like?
A: Ten spotlights are integrated permanently into the black aluminium frame. They run at 6400K daylight colour temperature, which renders the true colour of displayed items accurately without the warm shift that lower-kelvin lighting introduces. The lights are not removable and cannot be switched to a different colour temperature.
Q: Is the cabinet lockable?
A: Yes. The hinged double doors are fitted with a key lock. One key secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are supplied with the cabinet.
Q: Does it meet UK fire safety requirements?
A: Yes. The DTS800CBK is independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. The certificate covers the full assembled cabinet and can be downloaded immediately from this product page. It can be shared directly with procurement or compliance teams without any request to us.
Q: Does it require assembly?
A: Yes. The cabinet is supplied flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. A step-by-step assembly video is available on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=P3ODu9rU8WI. We recommend watching it before you begin.
Q: How is it delivered?
A: It ships on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. Full details are in the Delivery and Returns tab.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other widths or a silver frame?
A: Yes. The black DTS range runs from 400mm to 1200mm at the same 1800mm height and the same specification throughout. The closest step up is the 1000mm black (DTS1000CBK). The direct silver equivalent of this cabinet is DTS801LED, identical in dimensions and specification.

Not every display wall has room for a full-width cabinet, and not every collection needs one.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. We are not a reseller and we do not source this product from third parties. The DTS range, including this 800mm black model, was designed by our own team. We have been manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 800mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 59.51kg. These are the external frame dimensions. Usable interior display space is marginally smaller once the black aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: It means the cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. There is no solid back wall cutting visibility from an oblique angle.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The five 5mm tempered glass shelves travel this track and can be set to any height. Slide to position, lock in place. No fixed holes, no tools required. Remove all five shelves entirely to open up the full 1800mm interior column for a tall piece or floor-standing item.
Q: Can I order extra shelves?
A: Yes. Contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions. Any local glazier can produce additional shelves to fit. We also supply the shelf support rods separately.
Q: What are the LED lights like?
A: Ten spotlights are integrated permanently into the black aluminium frame. They run at 6400K daylight colour temperature, which renders the true colour of displayed items accurately without the warm shift that lower-kelvin lighting introduces. The lights are not removable and cannot be switched to a different colour temperature.
Q: Is the cabinet lockable?
A: Yes. The hinged double doors are fitted with a key lock. One key secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are supplied with the cabinet.
Q: Does it meet UK fire safety requirements?
A: Yes. The DTS800CBK is independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. The certificate covers the full assembled cabinet and can be downloaded immediately from this product page. It can be shared directly with procurement or compliance teams without any request to us.
Q: Does it require assembly?
A: Yes. The cabinet is supplied flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. A step-by-step assembly video is available on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=P3ODu9rU8WI. We recommend watching it before you begin.
Q: How is it delivered?
A: It ships on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. Full details are in the Delivery and Returns tab.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other widths or a silver frame?
A: Yes. The black DTS range runs from 400mm to 1200mm at the same 1800mm height and the same specification throughout. The closest step up is the 1000mm black (DTS1000CBK). The direct silver equivalent of this cabinet is DTS801LED, identical in dimensions and specification.

A Mid-Range Width. Full-Range Specification.
The 800mm black glass display cabinet sits at mid-range in the DTS series. Wider than the compact 600mm models, narrower than the statement 1000mm and 1200mm units, it is the right choice when the display needs real capacity without the cabinet dominating the room. Every specification detail is shared across the full DTS range: the same 360-degree glass construction, the same rod shelf system, the same integrated LED array, the same fire compliance standard. The only difference at 800mm is the footprint.
Key Features
- Black Aluminium Frame, 59.51kg: Precision-formed black aluminium throughout. A finish that creates contrast with the glass and makes the display the visual focus. At 59.51kg the cabinet stands without wall-fixing and can be positioned by a single person.
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors. Full display visibility from any angle of approach, with no opaque panels blocking the view from any direction.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: Displaysense is the manufacturer. You are buying directly from the people who designed and built this cabinet. No reseller, no intermediary, no uncertainty about post-purchase support.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Five shelves slide to any height on a continuous rod track and lock in position. No fixed increments, no tools required. Remove all five to open the full 1800mm interior column for tall or oversized items.
- 10 Integrated 6400K Daylight LED Spotlights: Built permanently into the black frame. Daylight colour temperature renders true colour across the full 800mm interior with no shadows or dark zones at any shelf level.
- Lockable Hinged Double Doors: Full-width doors open completely for unobstructed access. One key secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys supplied.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Compliant: Independently tested across the complete assembly. Certificate available to download immediately. Download fire certification.
- Need More Shelves? We supply the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions for a local glazier to cut additional panels. Shelf support rods are available from us after purchase. Contact us for details.
- Assembly Required: Delivered flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. Watch our assembly video on YouTube.
- Also Available: Step up to the 1000mm black (DTS1000CBK) for more shelf width at the same specification. Prefer a silver frame? The direct equivalent is DTS801LED.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail | Jewellery, watches, small collectables and premium merchandise in boutique or high street settings where a compact but fully specified cabinet is needed |

| Schools and Education | Trophy display, awards and achievement items in reception or corridor spaces where the cabinet is seen daily by students, staff and visitors |
| Offices and Corporate | Brand merchandise, awards and partner gifts displayed in reception or boardroom areas. The black frame suits contemporary corporate interiors with dark accents or strong branding |
| Sports Clubs | Trophies, medals and signed memorabilia in clubhouses, changing rooms or public foyers where a secure, lit cabinet is required |
| Collectors | Figurines, scale models, trading cards, Lego and premium collectables in home or studio settings where the black frame creates a dramatic, gallery-style backdrop |
| Exhibitions | Trade stand product display where a compact, lockable and lit cabinet is required without an oversized floor footprint |

Product reference: DTS800CBK. Displaysense 800mm black aluminium glass display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 800mm, depth 400mm, weight 59.51kg. Black aluminium frame. 4mm toughened glass on doors, sides, rear. 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod track system, infinite adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 10 x 6400K LED spotlights. Hinged double doors, key lock, 2 keys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 compliant. UK-designed and manufactured since 1978.
Not every display wall has room for a full-width cabinet, and not every collection needs one. The DTS800CBK is the choice when the space is considered and the footprint matters, but the presentation still needs to be right. At 800mm wide and 1800mm tall, this black aluminium glass display cabinet fits into corners, alcoves, reception areas and retail runs where larger units will not go, without giving up the things that make a cabinet worth having: 360-degree toughened glass on all sides, back and doors, 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights, five 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, and a black aluminium frame independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12.
Width shapes what a cabinet can do. At 800mm you have a display surface wide enough to present a curated range across several shelves without the cabinet itself becoming the room's dominant feature. A jeweller can show a considered edit of pieces by category. A school reception can house a season's trophies. A collector can display a section of a larger collection on a unit that holds its own without overwhelming a living space. The 800mm width is the point in the range where a cabinet becomes genuinely versatile across both commercial and home settings.
The black aluminium frame is structural, not decorative. Precision-formed from the same heavy-gauge aluminium used across the DTS series, the matte black finish creates contrast against the glass and lets the display read as the visual focus. In darker or more graphic interiors, a retail setting with strong brand identity, or a home display room with a bold colour palette, the black aluminium frame is the finish that works with the space rather than against it.
The 360-degree glass construction means there are no opaque panels anywhere. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. In a retail floor where customers browse from any angle, a school corridor where the cabinet is seen in passing, or a reception where it is visible from multiple entry points, this is the construction that justifies the cabinet rather than a simpler alternatives.
Inside, the five 5mm tempered glass shelves run on a continuous rod track the full interior height of the cabinet. Every shelf slides to any height and locks there. No predefined holes, no fixed positions. Arrange shelves around the items rather than the other way around. Remove them entirely and the full 1800mm column is available for taller pieces. The hinged double doors open to the full cabinet width for completely unobstructed access. One key secures both simultaneously. Two keys supplied.
Displaysense has been designing and manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978. We are the manufacturer, not a reseller. The black aluminium frame at 59.51kg is built to stand without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment and is light enough for a single person to move into position on delivery day. The glass throughout is independently tested. The fire safety certificate for BS 5852:2006 Section 12 is available to download immediately and can go directly to your procurement or compliance team.
The cabinet ships with five shelves. If your display requires more, contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for a local glazier. Shelf support rods are available from us separately.
Independent fire safety testing to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 covers the complete assembly: glass, frame and construction together, not individual components in isolation. The full certificate is available to download here for immediate use with facilities, procurement or compliance teams.

Product reference: DTS800CBK. Displaysense 800mm black aluminium glass display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 800mm, depth 400mm, weight 59.51kg. Black aluminium frame. Glass specification: 4mm toughened glass doors, sides and rear panel; 5mm tempered glass shelves. Shelf system: continuous rod track with infinite height adjustment, shelves fully removable, 12kg capacity per shelf. Integrated lighting: 10 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights, fixed. Door operation: hinged double doors, key lock, 2 keys supplied. Fire compliance: BS 5852:2006 Section 12, independently tested, certificate downloadable.

The 800mm model shares the same glass specification, shelf system, LED count and fire compliance as every cabinet in the DTS range. At 800mm wide, 1800mm tall and 59.51kg, it is the width in the range that suits the widest variety of settings: substantial enough to display a full collection across five shelves, compact enough to fit into spaces where a larger unit simply will not go.
At 59.51kg the cabinet can be positioned by a single person, which simplifies delivery day considerably. Once placed it stands without wall-fixing. Plan the final position before delivery so it only needs to be moved once.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. You are buying directly from the people who built this cabinet, with no reseller, no intermediary, and no uncertainty about support after purchase. |
| Frame Finish | Black aluminium | A finish that creates strong visual contrast with the glass and makes the display the focus. The right choice for contemporary retail interiors, collector display rooms with bold palettes, and corporate environments with a graphic identity. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Floor-to-near-ceiling presence that maximises vertical display capacity. Visible from across a room without requiring a wide footprint. |
| Width | 800mm | Mid-range in the DTS series. Wide enough to display a curated collection or product range across five shelves without the cabinet dominating the room. Narrow enough to fit into alcoves, retail runs and spaces where the 1000mm or 1200mm models will not. |
| Depth | 400mm | Sufficient for layered product arrangements and standard display depths without an excessive floor footprint or obstruction to circulation around the cabinet. |
| Weight | 59.51kg | Heavy enough to stand securely without wall-fixing. Light enough to be moved by a single person, which simplifies delivery day and any future repositioning. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | No opaque panels. Full display visibility from every angle of approach. Essential wherever visitors or customers move around the cabinet rather than viewing it only from the front. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification. Built to withstand the daily contact loads of high-traffic public environments without risk of breakage from normal use. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Load-bearing shelves are one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered glass is the correct commercial grade for shelves carrying product weight continuously. |
| Shelf System | 5 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | No fixed holes. Slide shelves to the exact height required and lock them. Remove all five to open the full 1800mm column. Reconfigures without tools in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Suitable for the full range of typical display items across all five levels. Distribute heavier pieces across lower shelves to keep the centre of gravity low. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact cutting dimensions. A local glazier produces the 5mm tempered panels. We supply additional rod supports. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights built permanently into the black frame, positioned to cover every shelf level across the full 800mm width. 6400K daylight colour temperature renders the true colour of displayed items accurately. |

Description
Not every display wall has room for a full-width cabinet, and not every collection needs one. The DTS800CBK is the choice when the space is considered and the footprint matters, but the presentation still needs to be right. At 800mm wide and 1800mm tall, this black aluminium glass display cabinet fits into corners, alcoves, reception areas and retail runs where larger units will not go, without giving up the things that make a cabinet worth having: 360-degree toughened glass on all sides, back and doors, 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights, five 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, and a black aluminium frame independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12.
Width shapes what a cabinet can do. At 800mm you have a display surface wide enough to present a curated range across several shelves without the cabinet itself becoming the room's dominant feature. A jeweller can show a considered edit of pieces by category. A school reception can house a season's trophies. A collector can display a section of a larger collection on a unit that holds its own without overwhelming a living space. The 800mm width is the point in the range where a cabinet becomes genuinely versatile across both commercial and home settings.
The black aluminium frame is structural, not decorative. Precision-formed from the same heavy-gauge aluminium used across the DTS series, the matte black finish creates contrast against the glass and lets the display read as the visual focus. In darker or more graphic interiors, a retail setting with strong brand identity, or a home display room with a bold colour palette, the black aluminium frame is the finish that works with the space rather than against it.
The 360-degree glass construction means there are no opaque panels anywhere. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. In a retail floor where customers browse from any angle, a school corridor where the cabinet is seen in passing, or a reception where it is visible from multiple entry points, this is the construction that justifies the cabinet rather than a simpler alternatives.
Inside, the five 5mm tempered glass shelves run on a continuous rod track the full interior height of the cabinet. Every shelf slides to any height and locks there. No predefined holes, no fixed positions. Arrange shelves around the items rather than the other way around. Remove them entirely and the full 1800mm column is available for taller pieces. The hinged double doors open to the full cabinet width for completely unobstructed access. One key secures both simultaneously. Two keys supplied.
Displaysense has been designing and manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978. We are the manufacturer, not a reseller. The black aluminium frame at 59.51kg is built to stand without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment and is light enough for a single person to move into position on delivery day. The glass throughout is independently tested. The fire safety certificate for BS 5852:2006 Section 12 is available to download immediately and can go directly to your procurement or compliance team.
The cabinet ships with five shelves. If your display requires more, contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for a local glazier. Shelf support rods are available from us separately.
Independent fire safety testing to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 covers the complete assembly: glass, frame and construction together, not individual components in isolation. The full certificate is available to download here for immediate use with facilities, procurement or compliance teams.

Specifications
The 800mm model shares the same glass specification, shelf system, LED count and fire compliance as every cabinet in the DTS range. At 800mm wide, 1800mm tall and 59.51kg, it is the width in the range that suits the widest variety of settings: substantial enough to display a full collection across five shelves, compact enough to fit into spaces where a larger unit simply will not go.
At 59.51kg the cabinet can be positioned by a single person, which simplifies delivery day considerably. Once placed it stands without wall-fixing. Plan the final position before delivery so it only needs to be moved once.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. You are buying directly from the people who built this cabinet, with no reseller, no intermediary, and no uncertainty about support after purchase. |
| Frame Finish | Black aluminium | A finish that creates strong visual contrast with the glass and makes the display the focus. The right choice for contemporary retail interiors, collector display rooms with bold palettes, and corporate environments with a graphic identity. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Floor-to-near-ceiling presence that maximises vertical display capacity. Visible from across a room without requiring a wide footprint. |
| Width | 800mm | Mid-range in the DTS series. Wide enough to display a curated collection or product range across five shelves without the cabinet dominating the room. Narrow enough to fit into alcoves, retail runs and spaces where the 1000mm or 1200mm models will not. |
| Depth | 400mm | Sufficient for layered product arrangements and standard display depths without an excessive floor footprint or obstruction to circulation around the cabinet. |
| Weight | 59.51kg | Heavy enough to stand securely without wall-fixing. Light enough to be moved by a single person, which simplifies delivery day and any future repositioning. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | No opaque panels. Full display visibility from every angle of approach. Essential wherever visitors or customers move around the cabinet rather than viewing it only from the front. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification. Built to withstand the daily contact loads of high-traffic public environments without risk of breakage from normal use. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Load-bearing shelves are one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered glass is the correct commercial grade for shelves carrying product weight continuously. |
| Shelf System | 5 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | No fixed holes. Slide shelves to the exact height required and lock them. Remove all five to open the full 1800mm column. Reconfigures without tools in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Suitable for the full range of typical display items across all five levels. Distribute heavier pieces across lower shelves to keep the centre of gravity low. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact cutting dimensions. A local glazier produces the 5mm tempered panels. We supply additional rod supports. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights built permanently into the black frame, positioned to cover every shelf level across the full 800mm width. 6400K daylight colour temperature renders the true colour of displayed items accurately. |
| Doors | Hinged double doors, full-width | Both doors open to give completely unobstructed access across the full 800mm interior. No sliding track, no partial blockage. Clean, reliable and practical for daily use. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | One key action secures both doors. Two keys included as standard. Suitable for any environment where contents need protection from unsupervised access. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | UK fire safety standard for commercial and public furniture, tested independently across the complete assembly. Not self-declared. Covers this exact product and can be submitted directly to procurement or compliance teams. |
| Certification | Download fire safety certificate | Available immediately. No request required. Download and share with whoever needs it. |
| Assembly | Required. Flat-packed with all fixings | All hardware and written instructions are included. Watch the Displaysense assembly video on YouTube before you start. |

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. We are not a reseller and we do not source this product from third parties. The DTS range, including this 800mm black model, was designed by our own team. We have been manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 800mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 59.51kg. These are the external frame dimensions. Usable interior display space is marginally smaller once the black aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: It means the cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. There is no solid back wall cutting visibility from an oblique angle.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The five 5mm tempered glass shelves travel this track and can be set to any height. Slide to position, lock in place. No fixed holes, no tools required. Remove all five shelves entirely to open up the full 1800mm interior column for a tall piece or floor-standing item.
Q: Can I order extra shelves?
A: Yes. Contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions. Any local glazier can produce additional shelves to fit. We also supply the shelf support rods separately.
Q: What are the LED lights like?
A: Ten spotlights are integrated permanently into the black aluminium frame. They run at 6400K daylight colour temperature, which renders the true colour of displayed items accurately without the warm shift that lower-kelvin lighting introduces. The lights are not removable and cannot be switched to a different colour temperature.
Q: Is the cabinet lockable?
A: Yes. The hinged double doors are fitted with a key lock. One key secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are supplied with the cabinet.
Q: Does it meet UK fire safety requirements?
A: Yes. The DTS800CBK is independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. The certificate covers the full assembled cabinet and can be downloaded immediately from this product page. It can be shared directly with procurement or compliance teams without any request to us.
Q: Does it require assembly?
A: Yes. The cabinet is supplied flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. A step-by-step assembly video is available on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=P3ODu9rU8WI. We recommend watching it before you begin.
Q: How is it delivered?
A: It ships on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. Full details are in the Delivery and Returns tab.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other widths or a silver frame?
A: Yes. The black DTS range runs from 400mm to 1200mm at the same 1800mm height and the same specification throughout. The closest step up is the 1000mm black (DTS1000CBK). The direct silver equivalent of this cabinet is DTS801LED, identical in dimensions and specification.
