The DTS1201 is the widest single-bay cabinet in the DTS range and the one that makes the most immediate visual impression in bright, light-toned and contemporary interiors. The heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame reflects and distributes ambient light rather than absorbing it, making this the finish for galleries, jewellery retail, corporate reception areas with pale stone or contemporary finishes, and home display rooms with neutral walls and natural light. At 1200mm wide and 1800mm tall, the cabinet presents a complete collection across four 5mm tempered glass shelves on infinite-position rod track, lit by 10 integrated 6400K daylight LEDs through 360 degrees of toughened glass. Fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978.
1800mm H x 1200mm W x 400mm D. Weight 93.96kg. Heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on all sides, rear and double doors. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves on continuous rod track with infinite height adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. Lockable hinged double doors with 2 keys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Freestanding without wall-fixing. Self-assembly with all fixings. Free UK mainland delivery.
| Jewellery, Luxury Retail | A complete product range by metal type, stone, price point or collection presented across a single continuous surface. The silver frame and daylight LEDs are the combination for showing precious metals and gemstones accurately under true-colour illumination. |
| Galleries, Museums, Heritage | The 1200mm width allows a curated narrative to run left to right across a single cabinet. The silver frame recedes in bright gallery spaces. Fire certification meets public building procurement requirements for heritage and arts environments. |
| Corporate Reception, Boardrooms | A decade of trophies, branded product showcases or a complete heritage display in a single unit. The silver frame works with chrome, pale stone, contemporary finishes and the light-toned interiors typical of modern corporate reception areas. |
| Schools, Universities, Education | Trophy display, science showcases and student achievement items consolidated in a single locked 1200mm unit. Fire certification meets educational procurement requirements. The silver frame suits the neutral corridors and reception areas of most school buildings. |
| Hospitality, Spirits, Premium Leisure | Wine and spirits ranges, premium product showcases and experiential brand presentations where the full-width format creates a bar or venue focal point. The silver frame works with chrome, pale timber and contemporary hospitality interiors. |
| Collectors, Figures, Watches | Large collections that outgrew narrower cabinets. The 1200mm width houses a significant collection on one piece of furniture. The silver frame suits display rooms with white walls, light flooring and natural light where black would be too dominant. |
The same fire-certified specification is available at 1000mm in silver for tighter spaces. The 1200mm black frame is identical in dimensions and specification for darker or high-contrast interiors. The full DTS range runs from 400mm to 1200mm in both finishes.

Displaysense DTS1201 1200mm Silver Aluminium Glass Display Cabinet. UK-designed since 1978. 1800mm H x 1200mm W x 400mm D. Weight 93.96kg. Heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on sides, rear and doors. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves on continuous rod track with infinite height adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. Lockable hinged double doors, 2 keys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Freestanding without wall-fixing. Self-assembly. Suitable for jewellery retail, galleries, museums, corporate reception, schools, universities, hospitality, spirits display and collectors. Also available in 400mm to 1000mm widths and black frame. Free UK mainland pallet delivery. Displaysense, UK display cabinet specialist since 1978.
The Displaysense 1200mm silver glass display cabinet is the widest single-bay option in the range, and it delivers the same uncompromising specification as every cabinet in the DTS series: 360-degree toughened glass on all sides, back and doors, 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights, four 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, and a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. At 1800mm tall and 1200mm wide, this is a cabinet that commands attention. Not through the frame, but through everything displayed inside it.
Width changes what a cabinet can do. At 1200mm you can present an entire product category on a single unit without crowding shelves or splitting a collection across multiple cabinets. A jeweller can lay out a full range by type and price point. A museum can present a curated story from left to right. A corporate reception can display a complete trophy history across a single visual sweep. A collector can house a large, varied collection on one piece of furniture. The 1200mm bay makes certain displays possible that narrower widths simply cannot accommodate.
A cabinet this wide occupies significant visual real estate in any room. The silver aluminium frame ensures it does not overpower the space. In gallery settings, light retail environments, corporate reception areas with pale stone or contemporary finishes, or home display rooms with neutral walls and natural light, the silver profile absorbs into the surroundings rather than dominating them. The display itself stays central. At 1200mm, that distinction matters more than on any narrower model.
The all-glass construction means there are no compromises in visibility at any width. The two side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side of a 1200mm cabinet sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. In galleries, retail floors and reception areas, this is the construction that justifies the footprint.
Inside, the four 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 floor-standing sculptures, tall installations or anything a fixed-shelf cabinet cannot accommodate. 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 heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame at 93.96kg is built to stand without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment. At this weight, two people are needed to move the cabinet on delivery day. Plan accordingly. 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 four 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.
Assembly is required. All fixings and instructions are included. Watch the Displaysense assembly walkthrough on YouTube before you begin.
At 93.96kg this cabinet is delivered on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. The 1200mm model requires at least two people to move from kerbside. Full delivery details in the Delivery tab.
Volume discounts apply from two units. For larger projects, a full gallery or retail fit-out, or a public sector tender requiring multiple units, our team can prepare a formal quote with pricing, lead times and a delivery schedule.
Call 01279 460 460 or submit your requirements online and we will respond with a full quote.
Watch our product video below to see the 360-degree glass construction, the rod shelf system in use, how the double doors operate and how the LED spotlights illuminate the interior at full width.
The 1200mm model shares the same glass specification, shelf system, LED count and fire compliance as every cabinet in the DTS range. The difference is scale. At 1200mm wide, 1800mm tall and 93.96kg, this is the cabinet for displays that require genuine horizontal width: a full collection, a complete product range, or a large-scale installation that a narrower bay simply cannot hold.
At this width and weight, two people are needed to move the cabinet into position on delivery day. Once placed, the heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame stands without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment. Plan the final placement before delivery and have assistance available.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary, no uncertainty about support. |

| Width | 1200mm | The widest single-bay option in the DTS range. Accommodates a complete product range, a full collection or a large-scale narrative display in a single unit. Eliminates the need for multiple adjacent cabinets and the visual breaks they create. |
| Depth | 400mm | Sufficient for layered product arrangements and standard display depths without an excessive floor footprint or obstruction to circulation around the cabinet. |
| Weight | 93.96kg | The heaviest model in the range. Stable without wall-fixing in any public environment. Requires two people to move into position. Plan the final placement before delivery day and ensure help is available. |

| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification throughout. 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 at this display scale. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | No fixed holes. Slide to exact height and lock. Remove all four to open the full 1800mm column. No tools required. |
| 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 permanently in the silver frame, covering every shelf level across the full 1200mm width. 6400K daylight renders true colour accurately. |

Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, manufacturing since 1978. We are not a reseller. This range was designed by our own team.
Q: Why choose the 1200mm width?
A: The 1200mm bay is the widest single-bay option in our range. Present a complete product range or full collection across one uninterrupted surface without splitting across two cabinets. If your display requires genuine horizontal space, this is the model.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two finishes are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, suited to white-walled galleries, bright retail floors and pale-finish interiors. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. At 1200mm wide, the frame finish has a significant impact on how the cabinet interacts with the room.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. At 1200mm wide, visitors approaching from the side see the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1200mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 93.96kg. These are the external frame dimensions. Usable interior display space is marginally smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 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 four shelves entirely to open up the full 1800mm interior column for a tall piece or floor-standing installation.
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 and can they be removed?
A: Ten spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and cannot be removed. Positioned to cover every shelf level across the full 1200mm width. Colour temperature is 6400K daylight: clean, neutral white with no yellow cast.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full 1200mm width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When open, the entire interior is completely unobstructed. A single key turns the central lock and secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: Does this cabinet need to be fixed to the wall?
A: No. At 93.96kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet is stable as a freestanding unit. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains possible if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities immediately.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other widths?
A: Yes. The silver range runs from 400mm to 1200mm at a consistent 1800mm height. Every width shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. The closest alternative to this model is the 1000mm silver (DTS1001LED). The black frame version of this 1200mm cabinet is available as DTS1200CBK at the same price and identical specification. Use the width and colour selectors on this page to switch between options.
Q: How is this cabinet delivered and do I need help on delivery day?
A: At 93.96kg this is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier, free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. The 1200mm model requires at least two people to move from kerbside into your premises. Please ensure help is available on delivery day. Full zone information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes, assembly is required. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions. Watch the Displaysense assembly walkthrough on YouTube before you start.
Q: Are there discounts for multiple units?
A: Yes. A 3% volume discount applies from 2 units. For larger requirements, a full fit-out or a public sector tender, contact our team or call 01279 460 460 for a tailored quote.
The cabinet is the frame. What goes inside it, how the shelves are arranged and how the lighting interacts with the merchandise determine whether visitors stop, look and engage or walk straight past. These guides cover the decisions that turn a display cabinet from furniture into a selling tool.

Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, manufacturing since 1978. We are not a reseller. This range was designed by our own team.
Q: Why choose the 1200mm width?
A: The 1200mm bay is the widest single-bay option in our range. Present a complete product range or full collection across one uninterrupted surface without splitting across two cabinets. If your display requires genuine horizontal space, this is the model.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two finishes are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, suited to white-walled galleries, bright retail floors and pale-finish interiors. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. At 1200mm wide, the frame finish has a significant impact on how the cabinet interacts with the room.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. At 1200mm wide, visitors approaching from the side see the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1200mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 93.96kg. These are the external frame dimensions. Usable interior display space is marginally smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 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 four shelves entirely to open up the full 1800mm interior column for a tall piece or floor-standing installation.
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 and can they be removed?
A: Ten spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and cannot be removed. Positioned to cover every shelf level across the full 1200mm width. Colour temperature is 6400K daylight: clean, neutral white with no yellow cast.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full 1200mm width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When open, the entire interior is completely unobstructed. A single key turns the central lock and secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: Does this cabinet need to be fixed to the wall?
A: No. At 93.96kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet is stable as a freestanding unit. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains possible if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities immediately.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other widths?
A: Yes. The silver range runs from 400mm to 1200mm at a consistent 1800mm height. Every width shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. The closest alternative to this model is the 1000mm silver (DTS1001LED). The black frame version of this 1200mm cabinet is available as DTS1200CBK at the same price and identical specification. Use the width and colour selectors on this page to switch between options.
Q: How is this cabinet delivered and do I need help on delivery day?
A: At 93.96kg this is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier, free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. The 1200mm model requires at least two people to move from kerbside into your premises. Please ensure help is available on delivery day. Full zone information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes, assembly is required. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions. Watch the Displaysense assembly walkthrough on YouTube before you start.
Q: Are there discounts for multiple units?
A: Yes. A 3% volume discount applies from 2 units. For larger requirements, a full fit-out or a public sector tender, contact our team or call 01279 460 460 for a tailored quote.
The cabinet is the frame. What goes inside it, how the shelves are arranged and how the lighting interacts with the merchandise determine whether visitors stop, look and engage or walk straight past. These guides cover the decisions that turn a display cabinet from furniture into a selling tool.

The DTS1201 is the widest single-bay cabinet in the DTS range and the one that makes the most immediate visual impression in bright, light-toned and contemporary interiors. The heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame reflects and distributes ambient light rather than absorbing it, making this the finish for galleries, jewellery retail, corporate reception areas with pale stone or contemporary finishes, and home display rooms with neutral walls and natural light. At 1200mm wide and 1800mm tall, the cabinet presents a complete collection across four 5mm tempered glass shelves on infinite-position rod track, lit by 10 integrated 6400K daylight LEDs through 360 degrees of toughened glass. Fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. UK-designed by Displaysense since 1978.
1800mm H x 1200mm W x 400mm D. Weight 93.96kg. Heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on all sides, rear and double doors. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves on continuous rod track with infinite height adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. Lockable hinged double doors with 2 keys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Freestanding without wall-fixing. Self-assembly with all fixings. Free UK mainland delivery.
| Jewellery, Luxury Retail | A complete product range by metal type, stone, price point or collection presented across a single continuous surface. The silver frame and daylight LEDs are the combination for showing precious metals and gemstones accurately under true-colour illumination. |
| Galleries, Museums, Heritage | The 1200mm width allows a curated narrative to run left to right across a single cabinet. The silver frame recedes in bright gallery spaces. Fire certification meets public building procurement requirements for heritage and arts environments. |
| Corporate Reception, Boardrooms | A decade of trophies, branded product showcases or a complete heritage display in a single unit. The silver frame works with chrome, pale stone, contemporary finishes and the light-toned interiors typical of modern corporate reception areas. |
| Schools, Universities, Education | Trophy display, science showcases and student achievement items consolidated in a single locked 1200mm unit. Fire certification meets educational procurement requirements. The silver frame suits the neutral corridors and reception areas of most school buildings. |
| Hospitality, Spirits, Premium Leisure | Wine and spirits ranges, premium product showcases and experiential brand presentations where the full-width format creates a bar or venue focal point. The silver frame works with chrome, pale timber and contemporary hospitality interiors. |
| Collectors, Figures, Watches | Large collections that outgrew narrower cabinets. The 1200mm width houses a significant collection on one piece of furniture. The silver frame suits display rooms with white walls, light flooring and natural light where black would be too dominant. |
The same fire-certified specification is available at 1000mm in silver for tighter spaces. The 1200mm black frame is identical in dimensions and specification for darker or high-contrast interiors. The full DTS range runs from 400mm to 1200mm in both finishes.

Displaysense DTS1201 1200mm Silver Aluminium Glass Display Cabinet. UK-designed since 1978. 1800mm H x 1200mm W x 400mm D. Weight 93.96kg. Heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on sides, rear and doors. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves on continuous rod track with infinite height adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. Lockable hinged double doors, 2 keys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certified. Freestanding without wall-fixing. Self-assembly. Suitable for jewellery retail, galleries, museums, corporate reception, schools, universities, hospitality, spirits display and collectors. Also available in 400mm to 1000mm widths and black frame. Free UK mainland pallet delivery. Displaysense, UK display cabinet specialist since 1978.
The Displaysense 1200mm silver glass display cabinet is the widest single-bay option in the range, and it delivers the same uncompromising specification as every cabinet in the DTS series: 360-degree toughened glass on all sides, back and doors, 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights, four 5mm tempered glass shelves on a continuous rod track, and a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. At 1800mm tall and 1200mm wide, this is a cabinet that commands attention. Not through the frame, but through everything displayed inside it.
Width changes what a cabinet can do. At 1200mm you can present an entire product category on a single unit without crowding shelves or splitting a collection across multiple cabinets. A jeweller can lay out a full range by type and price point. A museum can present a curated story from left to right. A corporate reception can display a complete trophy history across a single visual sweep. A collector can house a large, varied collection on one piece of furniture. The 1200mm bay makes certain displays possible that narrower widths simply cannot accommodate.
A cabinet this wide occupies significant visual real estate in any room. The silver aluminium frame ensures it does not overpower the space. In gallery settings, light retail environments, corporate reception areas with pale stone or contemporary finishes, or home display rooms with neutral walls and natural light, the silver profile absorbs into the surroundings rather than dominating them. The display itself stays central. At 1200mm, that distinction matters more than on any narrower model.
The all-glass construction means there are no compromises in visibility at any width. The two side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. Someone approaching from the side of a 1200mm cabinet sees the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front. In galleries, retail floors and reception areas, this is the construction that justifies the footprint.
Inside, the four 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 floor-standing sculptures, tall installations or anything a fixed-shelf cabinet cannot accommodate. 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 heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame at 93.96kg is built to stand without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment. At this weight, two people are needed to move the cabinet on delivery day. Plan accordingly. 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 four 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.
Assembly is required. All fixings and instructions are included. Watch the Displaysense assembly walkthrough on YouTube before you begin.
At 93.96kg this cabinet is delivered on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. The 1200mm model requires at least two people to move from kerbside. Full delivery details in the Delivery tab.
Volume discounts apply from two units. For larger projects, a full gallery or retail fit-out, or a public sector tender requiring multiple units, our team can prepare a formal quote with pricing, lead times and a delivery schedule.

Watch our product video below to see the 360-degree glass construction, the rod shelf system in use, how the double doors operate and how the LED spotlights illuminate the interior at full width.
The 1200mm model shares the same glass specification, shelf system, LED count and fire compliance as every cabinet in the DTS range. The difference is scale. At 1200mm wide, 1800mm tall and 93.96kg, this is the cabinet for displays that require genuine horizontal width: a full collection, a complete product range, or a large-scale installation that a narrower bay simply cannot hold.
At this width and weight, two people are needed to move the cabinet into position on delivery day. Once placed, the heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame stands without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment. Plan the final placement before delivery and have assistance available.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary, no uncertainty about support. |
| Frame Finish | Silver aluminium | Reflects and distributes light in bright interiors. The right choice for galleries, light retail floors, contemporary reception areas and home display rooms. |

| Width | 1200mm | The widest single-bay option in the DTS range. Accommodates a complete product range, a full collection or a large-scale narrative display in a single unit. Eliminates the need for multiple adjacent cabinets and the visual breaks they create. |
| Depth | 400mm | Sufficient for layered product arrangements and standard display depths without an excessive floor footprint or obstruction to circulation around the cabinet. |
| Weight | 93.96kg | The heaviest model in the range. Stable without wall-fixing in any public environment. Requires two people to move into position. Plan the final placement before delivery day and ensure help is available. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | No opaque panels anywhere. Full visibility from every angle across the 1200mm width, where visitors approach from more varied positions than with narrower models. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification throughout. 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 at this display scale. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | No fixed holes. Slide to exact height and lock. Remove all four to open the full 1800mm column. No tools required. |
| 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 permanently in the silver frame, covering every shelf level across the full 1200mm width. 6400K daylight renders true colour accurately. |

| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | UK fire safety standard for commercial and public furniture. Independently tested across the complete assembly. Not self-declared. |

Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, manufacturing since 1978. We are not a reseller. This range was designed by our own team.
Q: Why choose the 1200mm width?
A: The 1200mm bay is the widest single-bay option in our range. Present a complete product range or full collection across one uninterrupted surface without splitting across two cabinets. If your display requires genuine horizontal space, this is the model.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two finishes are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, suited to white-walled galleries, bright retail floors and pale-finish interiors. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. At 1200mm wide, the frame finish has a significant impact on how the cabinet interacts with the room.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. At 1200mm wide, visitors approaching from the side see the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1200mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 93.96kg. These are the external frame dimensions. Usable interior display space is marginally smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 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 four shelves entirely to open up the full 1800mm interior column for a tall piece or floor-standing installation.
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 and can they be removed?
A: Ten spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and cannot be removed. Positioned to cover every shelf level across the full 1200mm width. Colour temperature is 6400K daylight: clean, neutral white with no yellow cast.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full 1200mm width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When open, the entire interior is completely unobstructed. A single key turns the central lock and secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: Does this cabinet need to be fixed to the wall?
A: No. At 93.96kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet is stable as a freestanding unit. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains possible if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities immediately.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other widths?
A: Yes. The silver range runs from 400mm to 1200mm at a consistent 1800mm height. Every width shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. The closest alternative to this model is the 1000mm silver (DTS1001LED). The black frame version of this 1200mm cabinet is available as DTS1200CBK at the same price and identical specification.

| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights permanently in the silver frame, covering every shelf level across the full 1200mm width. 6400K daylight renders true colour accurately. |

Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, manufacturing since 1978. We are not a reseller. This range was designed by our own team.
Q: Why choose the 1200mm width?
A: The 1200mm bay is the widest single-bay option in our range. Present a complete product range or full collection across one uninterrupted surface without splitting across two cabinets. If your display requires genuine horizontal space, this is the model.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two finishes are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, suited to white-walled galleries, bright retail floors and pale-finish interiors. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. At 1200mm wide, the frame finish has a significant impact on how the cabinet interacts with the room.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. At 1200mm wide, visitors approaching from the side see the same unobstructed display as someone standing directly in front.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1200mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 93.96kg. These are the external frame dimensions. Usable interior display space is marginally smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 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 four shelves entirely to open up the full 1800mm interior column for a tall piece or floor-standing installation.
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 and can they be removed?
A: Ten spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and cannot be removed. Positioned to cover every shelf level across the full 1200mm width. Colour temperature is 6400K daylight: clean, neutral white with no yellow cast.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full 1200mm width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When open, the entire interior is completely unobstructed. A single key turns the central lock and secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: Does this cabinet need to be fixed to the wall?
A: No. At 93.96kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet is stable as a freestanding unit. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains possible if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities immediately.
Q: Is this cabinet available in other widths?
A: Yes. The silver range runs from 400mm to 1200mm at a consistent 1800mm height. Every width shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. The closest alternative to this model is the 1000mm silver (DTS1001LED). The black frame version of this 1200mm cabinet is available as DTS1200CBK at the same price and identical specification. Use the width and colour selectors on this page to switch between options.
Q: How is this cabinet delivered and do I need help on delivery day?
A: At 93.96kg this is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier, free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: we contact you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. The 1200mm model requires at least two people to move from kerbside into your premises. Please ensure help is available on delivery day. Full zone information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes, assembly is required. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions. Watch the Displaysense assembly walkthrough on YouTube before you start.
Q: Are there discounts for multiple units?
A: Yes. A 3% volume discount applies from 2 units. For larger requirements, a full fit-out or a public sector tender, contact our team or call 01279 460 460 for a tailored quote.
The cabinet is the frame. What goes inside it, how the shelves are arranged and how the lighting interacts with the merchandise determine whether visitors stop, look and engage or walk straight past. These guides cover the decisions that turn a display cabinet from furniture into a selling tool.

"One big gripe - those lights are very difficult to screw in. I had to get a flat screwdriver and twist it horizontally to widen the gap, just to get them started. Also the glass shelves sag under their own weight. Other than that it looks good."
"The display cabinet is very good. A high quality product which shows off our glass collection a treat. Construction of the cabinet was challenging and certainly took more than an hour to complete. The instruction sheet was not detailed enough. But overall we are very happy with the cabinet."
"Look good"
"Beautiful cabinet easy to build came on time very good service and staff were loverly on the phone."
"All good delighted with the Cabinet,Excellent customer service all as explained arrived on time Thankyou David"
"Great display cabinet. One of about 7 we’ve purchased from Displaysense over the past few years. Unfortunately this one arrived with a tiny component missing and a small chip on one of the glass doors. Displaysense telephoned me a few days after delivery and on hearing about the problem they arranged to send me the missing component and reimburse me the cost of getting a replacement door. Great customer service. Would order from them again."
"Very nice cabinet to display your items. Lights look good but there is no way to adjust the position of the beam. Instructions were fairly good but took longer than we expected. Saying that very pleased with the purchase."
"All lovely really pleased with cabinet"
"Speedy delivery. Crystal clear instructions. All the tool included in the kit. Easy to assemble. Great design."
"Everyone is pleased with the display case, it shows off the items really well. It took a while from first contact to getting various permissions etc but worth it in the end. Thank you for your patience."
