400mm Black Glass Display Cabinet: Narrowest Freestanding DTS, 9 LED Spotlights, 4 Adjustable Shelves, Fire Certified

When a display cabinet needs to go somewhere no standard cabinet will fit, the DTS400CBK is the answer. At just 400mm wide and 1800mm tall, it is the narrowest freestanding model in the DTS range: a column of illuminated glass that installs between shelving runs, beside door frames, into architectural recesses and against walls where every centimetre of floor space is accounted for. The black aluminium frame amplifies that column-like presence, creating a high-contrast vertical accent that draws the eye upward. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on all sides, back and door. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves on an infinite-position rod track. 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Displaysense exclusive, UK-designed and manufactured since 1978.

Why the 400mm Width Opens Positions No Other Cabinet Can Fill

• 400mm width turns dead space into display space: The narrowest freestanding DTS cabinet fits into a 400mm gap. Architectural recesses, chimney breast niches, gaps between shelving runs, narrow corridor walls and exhibition stand corners that cannot accommodate a 600mm or wider model become usable, illuminated display positions without any structural alteration to the space.
• Black aluminium frame for column-like visual presence: A tall, narrow cabinet with a black surround reads as a deliberate design accent rather than an afterthought. The high contrast between the black frame and the glass interior makes the display read sharply from across a room. At 400mm the slender proportions amplify the column effect that defines this cabinet.
• 9 integrated 6400K daylight LEDs calibrated for the 400mm interior: One overhead, eight side-mounted, built permanently into the frame. Even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level within the 400mm width. 6400K daylight temperature renders true colour on jewellery, cosmetics, branded packaging and collectables without the warm shift of ambient lighting.
• 4 shelves on infinite-position rod track, 12kg each: Any shelf at any height. Lock without tools. No preset holes, no fixed increments. Remove all four to open the full 1800mm interior column for a single tall piece. Reconfigure in minutes as the display changes. 5mm tempered glass, 12kg per shelf.
• Single hinged door for full-width 400mm access: At this width a single door is the correct configuration. Opens the full interior in one movement with no centre post. One key, one action. Two keys supplied. Clean and direct for any frequency of use.
• BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified, UK-made: Independently tested across the complete assembly. Certificate downloadable immediately. Displaysense exclusive, UK-designed and manufactured since 1978. Direct support from the manufacturer, not a reseller.

Where the 400mm Cabinet Creates Display From Nothing

At 400mm this cabinet occupies a footprint smaller than most people expect from a full 1800mm tall display cabinet. It sits in a 400mm gap. It turns a recessed wall niche into a lit display column. It fills the end of a retail run or the corner of an exhibition stand without encroaching on the space around it. The black aluminium frame is particularly effective at this width: a tall, narrow column with a black surround reads as a deliberate design element rather than an afterthought. The high-contrast finish makes the illuminated interior stand out sharply from across a room. In a boutique, collector studio or hospitality environment, the 400mm black cabinet works harder for its footprint than almost anything else in the range.

Four 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track the full interior height. Set any shelf to any position, lock without tools, and rearrange in minutes as your display changes. Remove all four to open the full 1800mm column for a single tall piece or an arrangement that needs the complete height available. The 9 LEDs, one overhead and eight along the sides, illuminate every level regardless of how the shelves are positioned, producing even daylight illumination throughout the cabinet at 6400K. The single hinged door opens to give full, unobstructed access across the 400mm interior in one movement. There is no centre post and no reason to manage two panels. The key lock secures the door in one action and two keys are supplied.

The glass specification matches the full DTS series: 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on all sides, back and door. No opaque panels at any angle. Full display visibility from the front, both sides and behind. In a narrow recess or alcove where viewers approach from an angle, this lateral visibility is what makes the display seen before the viewer is directly in front of the cabinet. The 4mm toughened glass is commercial-grade, resistant to the everyday contact and accidental knocks typical of high-footfall retail and public environments. At 38kg it is the lightest freestanding model in the DTS range. One person handles it without difficulty after delivery. Plan its final position before delivery day, ensure there is a clear path from the kerbside to the intended location, and the installation is straightforward. The cabinet stands freestanding without wall-fixing once assembled.
