One Lockable Glass Counter That Displays Stock and Hides the Clutter

The DHC1201 puts a lit display and a locked store in one counter. High-value stock sits up top under glass and LED light where customers can see it, while spare stock, supplies or a till float lock away in a concealed cupboard in the base, out of sight and out of reach. The display section and the storage cupboard each have their own lockable doors, so a counter tidies its clutter away without needing a second unit beside it. The cabinet is fire rated to a recognised public-use standard, the toughened glass gives a clear view from the front and both sides, and the silver aluminium frame keeps the look clean on a busy counter. It arrives flat-packed and ships with free UK mainland delivery. Best suited to jewellers, salons and busy retail counters where a lit display and hidden storage have to share the same footprint.

Why a Fire-Rated Glass Cabinet Suits a Public Setting

• A hidden cupboard built into the base: Below the glazed display, a concealed storage compartment takes spare stock, cleaning kit, packaging or staff belongings behind solid doors, so the mess a counter collects is shut away rather than piled on a back shelf. It gives a small footprint two jobs, display above and store below.
• Two locks for two jobs: The display section and the storage cupboard each lock on their own keys, so a member of staff can reach the stockroom base without opening the glass over the valuables, and both stay secured when the counter is left. It suits a floor where different people need different access.
• Fire rated for public rooms: The cabinet is tested to BS 5852:2006, Section 12, against ignition sources 0, 1 and 5, which clears it for the kind of public and commercial rooms where an untested fixture would not be allowed. That matters in a setting bound by fire regulations.
• An open display with clear headroom: The glazed section is a single open level rather than a stack of shelves, so taller pieces stand at full height and a layout sits clean and uncluttered on individual stands or blocks. Nothing cuts across the view of the stock from any side.
• Four spotlights on the display: Set to light the glazed section evenly, the LED spotlights lift the colour and detail of the stock above the flat look a room's general lighting gives, running from the mains with the cabling routed neatly through the frame.
• A clean, hard-wearing silver frame: The silver anodised aluminium frame is understated and hard-wearing, holding the glass square and keeping the focus on the products in the lit case rather than on the counter around them.

Where a Storage Display Counter Suits Shops and Salons

This counter is really two units stacked into one frame. The upper part is a glazed display box, lit and lockable, made to be seen into and to show stock off. The lower part is a solid-sided storage cupboard with its own doors, made to be shut and not seen into at all. Keeping them in a single counter-height footprint means a point of sale gets its display and its hidden stockroom in the space one cabinet takes, which is the whole point of the design and what separates it from a plain display case.

Because the two sections do different jobs, they are reached and secured separately. The display doors slide across the front of the glazed top and lock on a key so the valuables on show stay protected, while the base cupboard opens on its own doors and its own lock underneath. That split matters on a working counter, where a member of staff often needs to get into the stockroom base to restock or fetch supplies without unlocking and opening the glass over the high-value display every time.

The cabinet carries a fire rating, which is a tested property rather than a description. It has been assessed under BS 5852:2006, Section 12, covering ignition sources 0, 1 and 5, meaning its materials are shown to resist catching and spreading fire from those specific sources under test. In practice that is what allows it into public and commercial rooms governed by fire regulations, such as healthcare, hospitality and public retail spaces, where a fixture without a tested rating can be turned away.

Inside, the glazed section is a single open display level rather than a stack of shelves, so a piece stands at full height and a layout sits clean on individual stands or blocks with nothing cutting across the view. Four LED spotlights run from the mains to light the section, with cable access designed into the frame to keep the wiring tidy, and the whole cabinet arrives flat-packed to be built on site, which ships the glass more safely than a pre-assembled unit and keeps the parcel to a manageable size.
