The Displaysense DHC1201 is a lockable display cabinet, 900mm H by 1200mm W by 600mm D, with 4 LED spotlights, mains powered. It is fire tested to BS 5852:2006, Section 12, sources 0, 1 and 5 and delivered free to UK Mainland.
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.
| Jewellers and Watch Retail | Rings, watches and fine pieces show under light in the locked glass section while boxes, cleaning kit and spare stock sit hidden in the base. One counter handles the display and the stockroom clutter that a jewellery point of sale always gathers. |
| Beauty Salons and Clinics | Retail skincare and treatment products present in the lit display while towels, testers and back-bar supplies lock away below, keeping a clean reception look. The fire rating suits the public treatment spaces these settings have to meet standards in. |
| Cosmetics and Phone Retail | Small, high-value lines sit under the spotlights in the open display, with packaging and refill stock stored out of sight in the cupboard beneath. Staff restock from the base without unlocking the display over the valuables on show. |
| Museums and Galleries | Artefacts or gift-shop pieces display in a fire-rated, lockable case that meets the standards a public collection works to, while interpretation materials and spare stock stay tidy in the base cupboard rather than on view. |
| Exhibitions and Shopping Centres | A stand or a mall kiosk gains a lit, secure display with its own hidden stockroom, so a trader keeps refills and kit to hand without a separate storage unit cluttering a tight pitch or a walkway. |
| Hotel Lobbies and Reception | Branded gifts, guest products or awards present in a lit case at a front desk, with stationery, spares and back-of-house items shut away in the base. The clean silver frame and tidy build suit a considered public entrance. |
A black aluminium version of this display-and-storage counter is made for darker or higher-contrast interiors, identical on size, storage, glass, lighting and the locks. Choose the silver here for light, contemporary interiors, or the black where a stronger frame suits the space.

The Displaysense DHC1201 is a silver aluminium glass counter display cabinet with a concealed storage base, four LED spotlights and lockable sliding doors, a counter-height display and storage unit in one. Dimensions: 900mm H x 1200mm W x 600mm D. Weight 62kg. Silver anodised aluminium frame with toughened safety glass and a single open glazed display level. A glazed display section on top holds a lit display, and a concealed cupboard in the base stores spare stock behind its own separate lockable doors. Four LED spotlights light the display, and both the display and the storage lock with keys. Fire rated and tested to BS 5852:2006, Section 12, Ignition Sources 0, 1 and 5. Supplied flat-packed with instructions. Suitable for jewellers, beauty salons and clinics, cosmetics and phone retail, museums, galleries, exhibitions and reception areas. Also available in a black aluminium finish as the DHC1201BK, and in a shallower 500mm depth as the DHC1200. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
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.
Storage counters like this pair with plain display cabinets, towers and wall cases to build a consistent scheme across a shop or salon. Let our team know the counter and the stock on show, and we can put together the sizes and finishes that sit well as a set.

Q: What is the best counter cabinet for displaying stock and storing supplies together?
A: The best counter cabinet for displaying stock and storing supplies together is the DHC1201, a counter-height silver glass unit with a lit, lockable display on top and a concealed storage cupboard in the base. High-value items show under four LED spotlights behind sliding glass, while spare stock and supplies lock away below behind their own doors, and the open lit display and fire rating suit a busy public counter. It gives a point of sale both a showcase and a hidden stockroom in a single counter footprint.
Q: How does the storage cupboard work?
A: The base of the counter is a concealed cupboard with its own solid doors and its own lock, separate from the glass display above. Staff open it to store or fetch spare stock, packaging, cleaning kit or belongings without unlocking the display, so the clutter a counter gathers stays shut away out of sight rather than on a back shelf.
Q: Is it fire rated?
A: Yes. The cabinet has been tested to BS 5852:2006, Section 12, against ignition sources 0, 1 and 5, meaning its materials are shown to resist catching and spreading fire from those sources. That rating is what allows it into public and commercial rooms governed by fire regulations, such as healthcare, hospitality and public retail settings.
Q: Does the display section have shelves?
A: The glazed display is a single open level rather than a set of shelves, so pieces stand at full height and a layout sits clean on individual stands or blocks. Taller items are not boxed in by a shelf above, and nothing cuts across the view of the stock from the front or either side.
Q: Can both sections be locked?
A: Yes. The sliding glass display and the storage cupboard each have their own lockable doors with keys supplied. That lets staff into the storage base without opening the glass over the valuables, and secures both the display and the store when the counter is left unattended.
Q: How many LED lights does it have and how are they powered?
A: It has four LED spotlights set to light the glazed display evenly. They run from a mains supply, with cable access designed into the frame to keep the wiring tidy and hidden, and being LED they draw little power and stay cool through a long day of trading.
Q: How does this compare to the shallower DHC1200?
A: This DHC1201 is the deeper 600mm option, giving more front-to-back room in both the display and the storage base. The DHC1200 shares the same 1200mm width, storage cupboard, four LED spotlights and fire rating but runs 500mm deep for a counter with less depth to spare. The choice comes down to how much room the counter has front to back.
Q: What sort of items does it suit?
A: It is made for small, high-value or retail stock such as jewellery, watches, cosmetics, electronics and collectables, with the supplies and refills that go with them stored below. The open, lit and locked display keeps the stock secure and on show at the counter, while the base cupboard keeps the working clutter and refills out of sight below.
Q: Does it come assembled?
A: No, it is supplied flat-packed with assembly instructions included. Shipping the display and storage sections and the glass in parts rather than pre-built protects them in transit, and the counter goes together on site from the instructions without specialist tools.
Q: How is a counter this size delivered?
A: It is a large, heavy unit and travels free to the UK mainland on a delivery booked in with you ahead of the day. The full delivery detail sits on the Delivery tab.
Q: Can the storage base take heavy or bulky items?
A: The concealed base cupboard is sized for spare stock, packaging, cleaning kit or staff belongings rather than heavy equipment, kept out of sight behind its solid doors. Keeping heavier items low and spread across the base helps the loaded counter stay stable and square on its feet.
Q: Is it available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Free UK mainland delivery is included with every order, and returns are welcome within 28 days. Displaysense, based in Hertfordshire, has supplied display and retail fixtures to UK businesses since 1978.

"Great display cabinet, goes together easily. Well packed and quick delivery. Will definitely be getting another one when this is full, the wife loves doing Lego, and it makes a great display cabinet for the larger models."
"Great items very fast delivery I am very happy customer service quick response"
"Very study and looks great with everything in it."
"Consistently perfect in every way with the other cabinet we bought. High quality, tip top service and perfect delivery. Thanks DisplaySense you are really good !"
"Fantastic Product. Really high quality and the sales team are brilliant. Excellent delivery as well !"
"Very happy with my purchase. The counters are high quality and make the store look professional."
"So I initially ordered a larger size display cabinet, which was too big for my store. I returned it and Displaysense swapped it for this unit which fitted perfectly and looks great"
"Sturdy, shiny and holds a lot. Getting the nuts into position to support the shelves is a bit tricky but worth it as the shelf heights are fully adjustable via a screwdriver which is really useful. Great piece of furniture."
"Great service, great item, easily assembled (by two people!)."
