A Bold, Lockable Noticeboard for Notices That Must Be Seen
Some notices cannot afford to be overlooked, and the same notices often cannot afford to be tampered with either. A fire-action sheet, a safety alert or an emergency procedure has to catch the eye the moment someone passes and stay exactly as posted once it is up. This red fire-resistant tamperproof felt noticeboard does both. The warm, high-visibility red pulls attention across a busy room, while a lockable shatterproof door keeps the contents secure and the whole case is independently fire-certified as a finished unit. Pins and staples hold notices to the felt inside, and a satin silver frame with rounded safety corners keeps it tidy in a public space. Best suited for leisure centres, schools and busy public entrances where critical information has to be both noticed and protected.
What a Red Tamperproof Noticeboard Does Best
- Red that gets noticed first. Warm, high-visibility red lifts a board clear of a neutral wall, so a fire notice, a safety alert or an urgent message is the first thing the eye lands on. In a crowded corridor or entrance, that head start is the difference between a notice being read and being walked past.
- Sealed behind a locking door. Only a key opens the board, so once a procedure or alert is posted, nobody passing can pull it down, cover it or swap it. For the information that matters most, that turns an open wall into a controlled point of reference that staff stay in charge of.
- Fire-certified as one piece. Testing covers the assembled board, not just the felt, with the whole composite assessed to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0. A specifier gets a single product with evidence for the unit that actually hangs on the wall, which is what a fire strategy needs to stand on.
- Clear PETG that takes a hit. A see-through PETG panel, separately rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, sits over the felt to guard notices without dimming them. The shatterproof plastic shrugs off the knocks of a gym, a workshop or a packed foyer and will not scatter if it is ever struck hard.
- Familiar felt behind the panel. Unlock the door and the red felt works like any pinboard, taking pins for quick changes and staples for anything that needs to stay put. Posting and refreshing notices stays a two-minute job for whoever holds the key, with a clean, even surface every time.
- Arrives ready, stays covered. A wall mount kit comes in the box and a two year guarantee sits behind the board, so it installs complete and holds up to daily handling. Made in the UK with a UK support team behind it, it is ready to go straight onto the wall.
Places a Bold Secure Board Belongs
| Fire and Safety Points | At a designated fire point or safety station, a red board makes the action notice impossible to miss and the lock keeps it from being removed or altered. The certified fire performance suits the very locations where compliance is scrutinised most closely. |
| Leisure Centres and Gyms | In a busy leisure centre, a red board carries class rules, safety notices and pool or gym guidance where members will actually see them. The shatterproof door survives a knockabout environment, and only staff can change what is posted. |
| Schools and Sports Halls | Around a sports hall, changing rooms or a school entrance, a bold board flags rules, fixtures and safety information for pupils on the move. The lock protects safeguarding and PE notices, and the fire rating meets a school building's standards. |
| Busy Public Entrances | In a packed foyer or reception, a red board pulls the eye to the notice everyone needs to read first, from opening changes to evacuation routes. The frame and lock keep it secure and presentable in a high-traffic doorway. |
| Workshops and Technical Areas | On a workshop or plant-room wall, a red board keeps permits, hazard notices and safe-operating information seen and secure in a demanding setting. The cased build and shatterproof door cope with dust, knocks and constant traffic. |
| Transport and Communal Hubs | In a station, depot or shared communal hub, a red board carries timetables, alerts and public notices that must stand out and stay put. The locked door resists interference in spaces with little supervision. |

NB5006R is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Red Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A lockable, fire-certified display case, independently tested as a full composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with a clear PETG door rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. Dimensions 600mm x 900mm. Weight 10kg. High-visibility red felt surface that holds pins and staples behind a lockable shatterproof PETG door, set in a satin silver anodised aluminium frame with rounded safety corners, 20mm internal clearance, a wall mount kit and a two year guarantee, mounted portrait or landscape, made in the UK. Used by leisure centres, schools, public entrances and safety points across the UK. Also available in grey, green and blue, and in larger sizes up to 2400mm x 1200mm. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
The defining feature of this board is the locked door across its face. Where an open noticeboard leaves every sheet within reach, here the only way to change a notice is with the key, so an evacuation plan or a safety alert stays exactly as it was posted. The door is glazed in clear PETG, a shatterproof plastic chosen over glass because it withstands a knock in a busy hall without shattering. Concealed wall fixings give nothing for a passer-by to unpick, so the case resists casual interference from every side.
Around the display sits a satin silver anodised aluminium frame, finished to take the scuffs and fingermarks of a public space far better than paint. Rounded safety corners soften the unit for a corridor or a sports hall where people pass close at speed, and the red face reads boldly without looking cheap. The colour is doing a job here, not merely decorating, lifting urgent and safety-critical notices clear of everything around them so they register at a glance from across a room. Where a neutral board lets a warning blend into routine paper, the red keeps it reading as something that matters.
Behind the bold finish is a serious fire specification. Rather than relying on a fire-rated felt alone, the complete board has been tested as a composite, certified to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with the PETG door additionally rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. That whole-unit evidence is what a fire officer looks for, because individually approved components are no guarantee of how the assembled board behaves in a fire once they are built together. For a board destined for an escape route, a certificate that covers the finished object is exactly the proof required.
For the staff who look after it, the board is as easy to live with as any pinboard. Open the door and the red felt takes pins and staples in the usual way, gripping each fixing and closing over the hole as it comes out, so the surface stays even after countless changes. There is depth behind the door for layered notices, leaflets or a poster, and the case hangs portrait or landscape to suit the wall. Lock it again and the protection returns at once, with the day's changes done in the couple of minutes the staff can spare. It is a board built to be lived with daily, not fought with.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for fire-action notices or safety alerts that must be seen?
A: The NB5006R fire-resistant tamperproof red felt noticeboard suits this exactly, pairing a bold, high-visibility red surface with a lockable door. The whole case is fire-certified to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, and pins and staples hold notices on the felt inside, ready to refresh in seconds.
Q: Why choose a red board over a neutral colour for safety information?
A: Red carries further across a room than a neutral tone, so a safety or fire notice on a red board is registered sooner by anyone passing. For alerts, evacuation routes and hazard information that head start matters, and the lock keeps the notice exactly where it should be.
Q: How does the board keep important notices from being removed?
A: Removing or changing a notice needs the key, which only authorised staff hold, so a posted procedure stays untouched by anyone walking past. There are no exposed screw heads to undo, and the shatterproof PETG front blocks tampering hands, keeping the contents exactly as set.
Q: Is this board suitable for a gym or leisure centre?
A: Leisure centres and gyms use the NB5006R for class rules, pool safety notices and gym guidance, where the bold red is easy to spot and the shatterproof door survives a knockabout space. Only staff hold the key, so posted rules stay put through a busy day on the floor.
Q: Can it be used in a school or sports hall?
A: Schools fit a red tamperproof board around sports halls, changing rooms and entrances for fixtures, rules and safety notices that pupils need to see. The lock protects safeguarding and PE information, and the certified fire performance meets a school building's requirements.
Q: How is the board mounted?
A: Installation needs no extra parts. The wall mount kit is in the box, the case hangs either way up to match the wall, and the fixing heads stay hidden once it is on. Because the unit is a solid cased board, two people make light work of lifting and levelling it into place.
Q: What sits behind the locking door?
A: A red felt surface fills the inside of the case, taking pins and staples, with a 20mm gap back to the door. That depth holds more than a flat sheet, so leaflets, layered notices or a folded poster all fit, and the felt springs back as pins are pulled so the face never looks tired even after years of changes.
Q: How does this compare with the larger NB5009R?
A: The two differ only in size. At 600mm by 900mm this board fits an entrance, safety point or changing-room wall, whereas the NB5009R steps up to 1200mm by 900mm for a hall or foyer with more to show. Lock, red felt and full fire certification are shared across both.
Q: Do I need the locking version, or will an open fire-rated board do?
A: It depends on who can reach the board. In a public spot like a fire point or a leisure foyer, the lock is what stops a critical notice being taken or changed, so it earns its place. Behind a staff-only door, an open fire-rated board may serve. The key is what decides between them.
Q: Does the clear door affect how well notices are seen?
A: No. Notices read straight through the clear PETG, which sits just above the felt, and the strong red behind makes them stand out rather than recede. Being matt-backed and shatterproof, the panel guards the display from impact without bouncing bright hall lighting back at the reader.
Q: Is the board UK-made and does delivery come included?
A: Built in the UK, the board ships with free delivery to the UK mainland. Displaysense, based in Hertfordshire, has fitted out UK schools, leisure operators, councils and facilities teams since 1978, and every order goes out quickly with a straightforward 28-day returns window. Specification advice is available from our UK team by phone.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same fire-resistant tamperproof board comes in red, grey, green and blue, and in sizes from 600mm by 900mm up to 2400mm by 1200mm. Choose red where notices must stand out, a calmer tone for a quieter setting, and a size to match the wall and notice volume.
Choosing a Board That Is Both Seen and Secure
When a notice has to be noticed and protected at the same time, colour, security and fire compliance all pull in the same direction. The guides below cover how to choose a board for your space, how fire-compliant display works in schools and universities, and how colour changes what people notice on a wall.

A Bold, Lockable Noticeboard for Notices That Must Be Seen
Some notices cannot afford to be overlooked, and the same notices often cannot afford to be tampered with either. A fire-action sheet, a safety alert or an emergency procedure has to catch the eye the moment someone passes and stay exactly as posted once it is up. This red fire-resistant tamperproof felt noticeboard does both. The warm, high-visibility red pulls attention across a busy room, while a lockable shatterproof door keeps the contents secure and the whole case is independently fire-certified as a finished unit. Pins and staples hold notices to the felt inside, and a satin silver frame with rounded safety corners keeps it tidy in a public space. Best suited for leisure centres, schools and busy public entrances where critical information has to be both noticed and protected.
What a Red Tamperproof Noticeboard Does Best
- Red that gets noticed first. Warm, high-visibility red lifts a board clear of a neutral wall, so a fire notice, a safety alert or an urgent message is the first thing the eye lands on. In a crowded corridor or entrance, that head start is the difference between a notice being read and being walked past.
- Sealed behind a locking door. Only a key opens the board, so once a procedure or alert is posted, nobody passing can pull it down, cover it or swap it. For the information that matters most, that turns an open wall into a controlled point of reference that staff stay in charge of.
- Fire-certified as one piece. Testing covers the assembled board, not just the felt, with the whole composite assessed to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0. A specifier gets a single product with evidence for the unit that actually hangs on the wall, which is what a fire strategy needs to stand on.
- Clear PETG that takes a hit. A see-through PETG panel, separately rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, sits over the felt to guard notices without dimming them. The shatterproof plastic shrugs off the knocks of a gym, a workshop or a packed foyer and will not scatter if it is ever struck hard.
- Familiar felt behind the panel. Unlock the door and the red felt works like any pinboard, taking pins for quick changes and staples for anything that needs to stay put. Posting and refreshing notices stays a two-minute job for whoever holds the key, with a clean, even surface every time.
- Arrives ready, stays covered. A wall mount kit comes in the box and a two year guarantee sits behind the board, so it installs complete and holds up to daily handling. Made in the UK with a UK support team behind it, it is ready to go straight onto the wall.
Places a Bold Secure Board Belongs
| Fire and Safety Points | At a designated fire point or safety station, a red board makes the action notice impossible to miss and the lock keeps it from being removed or altered. The certified fire performance suits the very locations where compliance is scrutinised most closely. |
| Leisure Centres and Gyms | In a busy leisure centre, a red board carries class rules, safety notices and pool or gym guidance where members will actually see them. The shatterproof door survives a knockabout environment, and only staff can change what is posted. |
| Schools and Sports Halls | Around a sports hall, changing rooms or a school entrance, a bold board flags rules, fixtures and safety information for pupils on the move. The lock protects safeguarding and PE notices, and the fire rating meets a school building's standards. |
| Busy Public Entrances | In a packed foyer or reception, a red board pulls the eye to the notice everyone needs to read first, from opening changes to evacuation routes. The frame and lock keep it secure and presentable in a high-traffic doorway. |
| Workshops and Technical Areas | On a workshop or plant-room wall, a red board keeps permits, hazard notices and safe-operating information seen and secure in a demanding setting. The cased build and shatterproof door cope with dust, knocks and constant traffic. |
| Transport and Communal Hubs | In a station, depot or shared communal hub, a red board carries timetables, alerts and public notices that must stand out and stay put. The locked door resists interference in spaces with little supervision. |

NB5006R is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Red Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A lockable, fire-certified display case, independently tested as a full composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with a clear PETG door rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. Dimensions 600mm x 900mm. Weight 10kg. High-visibility red felt surface that holds pins and staples behind a lockable shatterproof PETG door, set in a satin silver anodised aluminium frame with rounded safety corners, 20mm internal clearance, a wall mount kit and a two year guarantee, mounted portrait or landscape, made in the UK. Used by leisure centres, schools, public entrances and safety points across the UK. Also available in grey, green and blue, and in larger sizes up to 2400mm x 1200mm. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
The defining feature of this board is the locked door across its face. Where an open noticeboard leaves every sheet within reach, here the only way to change a notice is with the key, so an evacuation plan or a safety alert stays exactly as it was posted. The door is glazed in clear PETG, a shatterproof plastic chosen over glass because it withstands a knock in a busy hall without shattering. Concealed wall fixings give nothing for a passer-by to unpick, so the case resists casual interference from every side.
Around the display sits a satin silver anodised aluminium frame, finished to take the scuffs and fingermarks of a public space far better than paint. Rounded safety corners soften the unit for a corridor or a sports hall where people pass close at speed, and the red face reads boldly without looking cheap. The colour is doing a job here, not merely decorating, lifting urgent and safety-critical notices clear of everything around them so they register at a glance from across a room. Where a neutral board lets a warning blend into routine paper, the red keeps it reading as something that matters.
Behind the bold finish is a serious fire specification. Rather than relying on a fire-rated felt alone, the complete board has been tested as a composite, certified to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with the PETG door additionally rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. That whole-unit evidence is what a fire officer looks for, because individually approved components are no guarantee of how the assembled board behaves in a fire once they are built together. For a board destined for an escape route, a certificate that covers the finished object is exactly the proof required.
For the staff who look after it, the board is as easy to live with as any pinboard. Open the door and the red felt takes pins and staples in the usual way, gripping each fixing and closing over the hole as it comes out, so the surface stays even after countless changes. There is depth behind the door for layered notices, leaflets or a poster, and the case hangs portrait or landscape to suit the wall. Lock it again and the protection returns at once, with the day's changes done in the couple of minutes the staff can spare. It is a board built to be lived with daily, not fought with.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for fire-action notices or safety alerts that must be seen?
A: The NB5006R fire-resistant tamperproof red felt noticeboard suits this exactly, pairing a bold, high-visibility red surface with a lockable door. The whole case is fire-certified to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, and pins and staples hold notices on the felt inside, ready to refresh in seconds.
Q: Why choose a red board over a neutral colour for safety information?
A: Red carries further across a room than a neutral tone, so a safety or fire notice on a red board is registered sooner by anyone passing. For alerts, evacuation routes and hazard information that head start matters, and the lock keeps the notice exactly where it should be.
Q: How does the board keep important notices from being removed?
A: Removing or changing a notice needs the key, which only authorised staff hold, so a posted procedure stays untouched by anyone walking past. There are no exposed screw heads to undo, and the shatterproof PETG front blocks tampering hands, keeping the contents exactly as set.
Q: Is this board suitable for a gym or leisure centre?
A: Leisure centres and gyms use the NB5006R for class rules, pool safety notices and gym guidance, where the bold red is easy to spot and the shatterproof door survives a knockabout space. Only staff hold the key, so posted rules stay put through a busy day on the floor.
Q: Can it be used in a school or sports hall?
A: Schools fit a red tamperproof board around sports halls, changing rooms and entrances for fixtures, rules and safety notices that pupils need to see. The lock protects safeguarding and PE information, and the certified fire performance meets a school building's requirements.
Q: How is the board mounted?
A: Installation needs no extra parts. The wall mount kit is in the box, the case hangs either way up to match the wall, and the fixing heads stay hidden once it is on. Because the unit is a solid cased board, two people make light work of lifting and levelling it into place.
Q: What sits behind the locking door?
A: A red felt surface fills the inside of the case, taking pins and staples, with a 20mm gap back to the door. That depth holds more than a flat sheet, so leaflets, layered notices or a folded poster all fit, and the felt springs back as pins are pulled so the face never looks tired even after years of changes.
Q: How does this compare with the larger NB5009R?
A: The two differ only in size. At 600mm by 900mm this board fits an entrance, safety point or changing-room wall, whereas the NB5009R steps up to 1200mm by 900mm for a hall or foyer with more to show. Lock, red felt and full fire certification are shared across both.
Q: Do I need the locking version, or will an open fire-rated board do?
A: It depends on who can reach the board. In a public spot like a fire point or a leisure foyer, the lock is what stops a critical notice being taken or changed, so it earns its place. Behind a staff-only door, an open fire-rated board may serve. The key is what decides between them.
Q: Does the clear door affect how well notices are seen?
A: No. Notices read straight through the clear PETG, which sits just above the felt, and the strong red behind makes them stand out rather than recede. Being matt-backed and shatterproof, the panel guards the display from impact without bouncing bright hall lighting back at the reader.
Q: Is the board UK-made and does delivery come included?
A: Built in the UK, the board ships with free delivery to the UK mainland. Displaysense, based in Hertfordshire, has fitted out UK schools, leisure operators, councils and facilities teams since 1978, and every order goes out quickly with a straightforward 28-day returns window. Specification advice is available from our UK team by phone.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same fire-resistant tamperproof board comes in red, grey, green and blue, and in sizes from 600mm by 900mm up to 2400mm by 1200mm. Choose red where notices must stand out, a calmer tone for a quieter setting, and a size to match the wall and notice volume.

A: No. Notices read straight through the clear PETG, which sits just above the felt, and the strong red behind makes them stand out rather than recede. Being matt-backed and shatterproof, the panel guards the display from impact without bouncing bright hall lighting back at the reader.
Q: Is the board UK-made and does delivery come included?
A: Built in the UK, the board ships with free delivery to the UK mainland. Displaysense, based in Hertfordshire, has fitted out UK schools, leisure operators, councils and facilities teams since 1978, and every order goes out quickly with a straightforward 28-day returns window. Specification advice is available from our UK team by phone.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same fire-resistant tamperproof board comes in red, grey, green and blue, and in sizes from 600mm by 900mm up to 2400mm by 1200mm. Choose red where notices must stand out, a calmer tone for a quieter setting, and a size to match the wall and notice volume.

Choosing a Board That Is Both Seen and Secure
When a notice has to be noticed and protected at the same time, colour, security and fire compliance all pull in the same direction. The guides below cover how to choose a board for your space, how fire-compliant display works in schools and universities, and how colour changes what people notice on a wall.
