400mm. Silver Frame. Designed to Belong to the Room.
The DTS401LED silver glass display cabinet is the narrowest model in the DTS freestanding range, finished in silver anodised aluminium that sits within pale, neutral and professional interiors rather than commanding them. At 400mm wide, 1800mm tall and 38kg it installs into recesses, reception corners, narrow corridors, salon stations, clinical spaces and retail gaps where no wider model fits. The silver frame ensures it reads as part of the space, not an imposition on it. The specification is identical to the full DTS series: 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, and independent BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification.
Key Features
- Silver Anodised Aluminium Frame: A light-reflective, corrosion-resistant finish that integrates cleanly into pale interiors, professional environments and minimalist spaces. At 400mm the silver frame makes the cabinet visually lighter than its height suggests. It contributes to the brightness of the room rather than absorbing it. Purpose-made for spaces where the display should feel integrated, not imposed.
- 400mm Width: The Narrowest in the Range: Fits gaps, recesses, alcoves and narrow wall segments where no wider cabinet belongs. Turns corridor walls, reception corners, salon stations and structural niches into usable display positions. Full 1800mm height at the smallest possible floor footprint in the DTS series.
- 38kg: Lightest Freestanding DTS Cabinet: One person positions it after delivery without assistance. No wall-fixing required. Straightforward to relocate within a space once assembled.
- Single Hinged Door: Opens the full 400mm interior width in one movement. No centre post, no split access. One key, two keys supplied. The correct configuration for this width.
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear and the front door. No opaque surfaces. Full display visibility from all angles. This is particularly useful in reception areas and salons where the cabinet is approached from multiple directions.
- 9 Integrated 6400K Daylight LEDs: One overhead, eight side-mounted, built permanently into the silver aluminium frame. Even, shadow-free illumination calibrated for the 400mm interior. Daylight colour temperature ensures accurate colour rendering on skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery, awards and branded merchandise.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Four shelves at any height on a continuous rod track. No tools, no preset holes, no fixed increments. Remove all four to open the full 1800mm interior column. Reconfigure in minutes as your display changes.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Certified: Independently tested on the complete assembled cabinet. Certificate downloadable immediately. Download fire certification.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: Displaysense is the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary. Direct support throughout.
- Extra Shelves: Contact us after purchase for exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us.
- Assembly Required: Flat-packed with all fixings and instructions included. Watch the assembly video on YouTube.
- Also Available: Prefer black at 400mm? See DTS400CBK. Need more width in silver? Step up to the 600mm silver (DTS601).
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Salons and Wellness Studios | Skincare products, retail cosmetics and professional treatments presented beside styling stations or in compact retail runs. The silver frame at 400mm fits a salon environment built around light, clean surfaces and pale finishes without disrupting treatment flow. At 38kg it can be repositioned during refits without lifting equipment. |
| Healthcare and NHS Reception | Displays in clinical reception areas, NHS outpatient waiting spaces and council building lobbies where fire compliance is a procurement requirement and the overall interior is designed to feel clean and open. The silver frame reads neutral against clinical whites and greys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 certification downloads immediately for submission to facilities and estates teams. |
| Professional Services Reception | Awards, certifications, branded objects and curated displays in the reception areas of law firms, architecture practices, financial services offices and corporate headquarters. Pale interiors and considered fit-outs are the standard in these environments. A silver 400mm column sits within a professional reception space as a considered display feature rather than a retail fixture. |
| Minimalist and Scandi Home Display | Collectors, hobbyists and homeowners whose interiors use white, grey and natural tones throughout. The silver frame disappears into a pale scheme while the 9 LEDs draw attention to what is displayed inside. In a Scandi-influenced living space, a silver 400mm column between two items of furniture reads as architecture. At 400mm it fits where bookcases already are. |
| Gallery and Museum Contexts | Small collections, fragile objects and carefully curated single-shelf displays in gallery corners, museum reading rooms and art spaces. The silver finish is the conventional neutral in most gallery environments. At 400mm the cabinet does not dominate a small gallery room and the 360-degree glass ensures objects are visible from the full room perimeter without the viewer needing to approach directly. |
| Education and Public Sector | Trophy and achievement displays in school entrance lobbies, council building corridors and university reception areas with pale or neutral decoration. Fire compliance certification is a standard procurement requirement in all these environments. The certificate downloads immediately without any contact needed. |
| Jewellery and Optical Retail | Jewellery, watches, eyewear and precision accessories in boutique or specialist retail environments where the display context is as important as the product. Silver frames are the dominant finish in jewellery and optical retail because the neutral metallic surround does not compete with the merchandise. At 400mm the cabinet presents a curated selection at full 1800mm height in a single shelf bay's footprint. |

Product reference: DTS401LED. Displaysense 400mm silver anodised aluminium glass display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 400mm, depth 400mm, weight 38kg. Silver anodised aluminium frame. Single hinged door. 4mm toughened glass door, sides, rear. 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod track, infinite adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 9 x 6400K LED spotlights (1 top, 8 side). Key lock, 2 keys.

Some cabinets announce themselves. The Displaysense DTS401LED silver glass display cabinet does the opposite: it integrates. At 400mm wide and 1800mm tall, the silver anodised aluminium frame sits quietly against pale walls, pale floors and pale furniture, making the illuminated glass interior the only thing in the room that draws the eye. The cabinet itself recedes. The display comes forward. For professional interiors, clinical environments, minimalist retail spaces and reception areas where a bold black frame would feel imposed rather than considered, silver at 400mm is the precise solution: a full-specification display column that belongs to the space rather than interrupting it.
The silver finish is particularly effective in a narrow cabinet. At 400mm this cabinet occupies a footprint comparable to a single shelf unit. It sits between existing furniture, in recesses, beside doors, in corners of reception areas where a wider cabinet has no right to be. The silver anodised aluminium frame at that width does not dominate. It becomes part of the architecture. In a salon treatment room, a professional services reception, a clinical corridor or a pale-painted retail space, the silver frame at 400mm creates a display position where previously there was only wall.
Silver reflects ambient light back into the room. At 400mm, where the frame occupies a larger proportion of the total visible surface than at any wider width, this behaviour is meaningfully different from a black frame. The silver surfaces catch the room's lighting and contribute to the brightness around the cabinet rather than absorbing it. In a salon, reception area or healthcare environment where the overall room should feel open and light, a silver 400mm column is visually lighter than its dimensions suggest. The 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights (one overhead, eight side-mounted) do the same from inside: even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level that reads cleanly against the reflective silver surround.
This cabinet carries the complete DTS specification at 400mm. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear and the single front door gives unobstructed display visibility from every angle. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track the full interior height. Any shelf sits at any position, locked without tools, with all four removable to open the full 1800mm column. The single hinged door opens the full interior width in one movement, secured by a key lock with two keys supplied. At 38kg this is the lightest freestanding model in the DTS range and the only one at 400mm. It stands in position after delivery without wall-fixing.
It is independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled unit, meeting the certification requirement of most NHS procurement teams, local authority facilities departments and public-sector estates managers. The certificate is available to download immediately from this page without any request to the team.

Product reference: DTS401LED. Displaysense 400mm silver anodised aluminium glass display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 400mm, depth 400mm, weight 38kg. Silver anodised aluminium frame. Glass specification: 4mm toughened glass single front door, sides and rear panel; 5mm tempered glass shelves. Shelf system: continuous rod track, infinite height adjustment, shelves fully removable, 12kg capacity per shelf. Integrated lighting: 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights (1 top, 8 side), fixed.

Manufacturer: Displaysense, UK-designed and manufactured since 1978.
The DTS401LED is the silver-framed model at 400mm in the DTS series. It is built to the same full specification as every wider model in the range, finished in silver anodised aluminium that is at home in pale, neutral and professional interiors. At 400mm wide and 38kg it is the narrowest and lightest freestanding DTS cabinet, designed to make positions viable that no wider cabinet can occupy.
The silver anodised aluminium frame behaves differently from a black frame at this width. Where black creates contrast and draws the eye to the cabinet itself, silver recedes. It reflects ambient light back into the room and allows the display inside to lead. In salons, clinical environments, professional reception areas and minimalist home interiors, this behaviour makes the DTS401LED the considered choice: the display integrates rather than interrupts.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the UK's largest display cabinet manufacturer. No reseller. All post-purchase support comes directly from the people who designed and built this cabinet. |
| Frame Finish | Silver anodised aluminium | Reflects ambient light rather than absorbing it. Integrates into pale, neutral and professional interiors where a black frame would impose. Corrosion-resistant anodised finish maintains appearance in high-footfall environments. The conventional choice for clinical, gallery, jewellery and professional services display contexts. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full-height DTS specification at the narrowest width in the range. Four shelves presented at ceiling height in a 400mm footprint. More display capacity per floor-space unit than any wider model in the series. |
| Width | 400mm | The narrowest freestanding model in the DTS range. Fits wall recesses, furniture gaps, reception corners, salon station ends, corridor positions and exhibition stand edges where no wider cabinet is appropriate. The exact measurement for spaces where floor area is already fully committed. |
| Depth | 400mm | Consistent with the full DTS range. Provides sufficient shelf depth for layered arrangements while projecting minimally from the wall surface. |
| Weight | 38kg | Lightest freestanding DTS model. Manageable by one person after delivery. Stands without wall-fixing once assembled. Can be repositioned during interior refits without lifting equipment. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and door all glazed | No opaque panels at any angle. Display visible from the front, both sides and behind. In reception areas and salons where the cabinet is viewed from multiple approach directions, full perimeter visibility means the display is seen before the viewer is directly in front of the cabinet. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification throughout. Handles the contact and accidental impact typical of high-footfall retail, clinical and public environments. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Load-bearing shelves specified one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. This is the appropriate commercial grade for continuous product weight across all four levels. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Any shelf at any height. Lock in place without tools. No fixed increments. Remove all four to open the complete 1800mm interior. Reconfigure the entire layout in minutes without dismantling the cabinet. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Suitable for the full range of display items at 400mm width: skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery, trophies, awards, figures and packaged goods. Place heavier items on lower shelves. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the precise 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for this model. Any local glazier can cut additional shelves. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 9 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | One overhead, eight side-mounted, built permanently into the silver aluminium frame. Calibrated for the 400mm interior. Even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level. 6400K daylight temperature renders the true colour of skincare packaging, jewellery, cosmetics and branded products without the warm cast that misrepresents colour-sensitive merchandise. |
| Door | Single hinged door, full-width access | At 400mm a single door opens the full interior width in one movement. No centre post, no two-panel management. One key, one action. Correct configuration for this width regardless of use frequency. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | Single key secures the full door. Two keys supplied as standard. Appropriate for all environments where display contents require protection: retail, salon, clinical, reception, education and public sector. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | UK commercial furniture fire safety standard for public environments. Independently tested across the complete assembled cabinet. Meets the standard procurement requirement for NHS, local government, education and most public-facing commercial environments including clinical spaces. |
| Certification | Download fire safety certificate | Available immediately from this page. Download and forward to procurement, facilities or compliance teams without any delay or request to us. |
| Assembly | Required. Flat-packed with all fixings | All hardware and instructions in the box. Watch the Displaysense assembly video on YouTube before you begin. Allow approximately one hour with a Phillips screwdriver. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the DTS401LED?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 38kg. It is the narrowest and lightest freestanding model in the DTS range. One person can position it after delivery without assistance.
Q: Why choose the silver frame over black at 400mm?
A: The silver anodised aluminium frame reflects ambient light and integrates into pale, neutral and professionally decorated interiors. In salons, clinical spaces, reception areas and minimalist home interiors, silver is the considered choice. If your setting is dark-toned, boutique or collector-focused, the black equivalent DTS400CBK may suit better.
Q: Is this suitable for a salon, clinical or NHS environment?
A: Yes, and it is particularly well suited to these environments. The silver frame integrates into clinical and salon interiors that are built around light, pale finishes and professional presentation. The cabinet is independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, which meets the standard procurement requirement for NHS buildings, clinical spaces, council premises and most public-facing commercial environments. The certificate can be downloaded immediately from this page for submission to facilities or compliance teams.
Q: How does the LED arrangement work at 400mm?
A: This cabinet has 9 integrated LED spotlights: one overhead and eight mounted along the sides of the interior frame. This arrangement is calibrated for the 400mm interior and produces even, shadow-free illumination across every shelf level. All LEDs run at 6400K daylight colour temperature, which is important for accurate colour rendering on skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery and colour-sensitive merchandise. The LEDs are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and do not require separate installation or cabling.
Q: Does the single door give full access to the interior?
A: Yes. At 400mm a single hinged door is the correct configuration and opens to give completely unobstructed access across the full interior width in one movement. There is no centre post. The key locks the door in a single action. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: How flexible is the shelf system?
A: Four 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track running the full interior height. Any shelf can be placed at any height and locked without tools. There are no preset holes and no fixed increments. Remove all four shelves entirely to open the complete 1800mm interior for a single tall display item or an arrangement that needs the full available height.
Q: Can I add more shelves?
A: Yes. Contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for this model. Any local glazier can produce shelves to those measurements. Shelf support rods are available from us separately.
Q: Is it fire compliant for public buildings, NHS premises and schools?
A: Yes. It is independently tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled cabinet. This meets the standard baseline requirement for NHS, local government, educational and most public-facing commercial environments. The certificate downloads immediately from this page without any request to us.
Q: Does the silver frame require any maintenance?
A: The frame uses a silver anodised aluminium finish, which is corrosion-resistant and does not require painting, polishing or periodic treatment. Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust or marks. The anodised surface is harder-wearing than paint and does not peel, chip or fade under normal indoor use.
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, designing and manufacturing since 1978. This is an own-design product. You purchase from and deal directly with the manufacturer throughout.
Q: Does it require assembly?
A: Yes. The cabinet ships flat-packed with all fixings and assembly instructions included. A full step-by-step guide is available on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=P3ODu9rU8WI. Watch it before you begin. Allow approximately one hour with a Phillips screwdriver.
Q: How is the cabinet delivered?
A: At 38kg this cabinet ships on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. This is a book-in service: our delivery partner contacts you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. Full details are in the Delivery and Returns tab.
Q: Is this available in black, or in a wider size?
A: Yes to both. The black equivalent at 400mm is DTS400CBK, identical in dimensions and specification. For more width in silver, step up to the 600mm silver (DTS601).
Display Thinking for Professional and Minimalist Spaces
Silver at 400mm belongs in spaces where integration matters as much as specification: salons, professional reception areas, minimalist interiors and pale-finished retail environments where every fixture earns its position.

Specifications
The DTS401LED is the silver-framed model at 400mm in the DTS series. It is built to the same full specification as every wider model in the range, finished in silver anodised aluminium that is at home in pale, neutral and professional interiors. At 400mm wide and 38kg it is the narrowest and lightest freestanding DTS cabinet, designed to make positions viable that no wider cabinet can occupy.
The silver anodised aluminium frame behaves differently from a black frame at this width. Where black creates contrast and draws the eye to the cabinet itself, silver recedes. It reflects ambient light back into the room and allows the display inside to lead. In salons, clinical environments, professional reception areas and minimalist home interiors, this behaviour makes the DTS401LED the considered choice: the display integrates rather than interrupts.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the UK's largest display cabinet manufacturer. No reseller. All post-purchase support comes directly from the people who designed and built this cabinet. |
| Frame Finish | Silver anodised aluminium | Reflects ambient light rather than absorbing it. Integrates into pale, neutral and professional interiors where a black frame would impose. Corrosion-resistant anodised finish maintains appearance in high-footfall environments. The conventional choice for clinical, gallery, jewellery and professional services display contexts. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full-height DTS specification at the narrowest width in the range. Four shelves presented at ceiling height in a 400mm footprint. More display capacity per floor-space unit than any wider model in the series. |
| Width | 400mm | The narrowest freestanding model in the DTS range. Fits wall recesses, furniture gaps, reception corners, salon station ends, corridor positions and exhibition stand edges where no wider cabinet is appropriate. The exact measurement for spaces where floor area is already fully committed. |
| Depth | 400mm | Consistent with the full DTS range. Provides sufficient shelf depth for layered arrangements while projecting minimally from the wall surface. |
| Weight | 38kg | Lightest freestanding DTS model. Manageable by one person after delivery. Stands without wall-fixing once assembled. Can be repositioned during interior refits without lifting equipment. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and door all glazed | No opaque panels at any angle. Display visible from the front, both sides and behind. In reception areas and salons where the cabinet is viewed from multiple approach directions, full perimeter visibility means the display is seen before the viewer is directly in front of the cabinet. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification throughout. Handles the contact and accidental impact typical of high-footfall retail, clinical and public environments. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Load-bearing shelves specified one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. This is the appropriate commercial grade for continuous product weight across all four levels. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Any shelf at any height. Lock in place without tools. No fixed increments. Remove all four to open the complete 1800mm interior. Reconfigure the entire layout in minutes without dismantling the cabinet. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Suitable for the full range of display items at 400mm width: skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery, trophies, awards, figures and packaged goods. Place heavier items on lower shelves. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the precise 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for this model. Any local glazier can cut additional shelves. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 9 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | One overhead, eight side-mounted, built permanently into the silver aluminium frame. Calibrated for the 400mm interior. Even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level. 6400K daylight temperature renders the true colour of skincare packaging, jewellery, cosmetics and branded products without the warm cast that misrepresents colour-sensitive merchandise. |
| Door | Single hinged door, full-width access | At 400mm a single door opens the full interior width in one movement. No centre post, no two-panel management. One key, one action. Correct configuration for this width regardless of use frequency. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | Single key secures the full door. Two keys supplied as standard. Appropriate for all environments where display contents require protection: retail, salon, clinical, reception, education and public sector. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | UK commercial furniture fire safety standard for public environments. Independently tested across the complete assembled cabinet. Meets the standard procurement requirement for NHS, local government, education and most public-facing commercial environments including clinical spaces. |

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the DTS401LED?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 38kg. It is the narrowest and lightest freestanding model in the DTS range. One person can position it after delivery without assistance.
Q: Why choose the silver frame over black at 400mm?
A: The silver anodised aluminium frame reflects ambient light and integrates into pale, neutral and professionally decorated interiors. In salons, clinical spaces, reception areas and minimalist home interiors, silver is the considered choice. If your setting is dark-toned, boutique or collector-focused, the black equivalent DTS400CBK may suit better.
Q: Is this suitable for a salon, clinical or NHS environment?
A: Yes, and it is particularly well suited to these environments. The silver frame integrates into clinical and salon interiors that are built around light, pale finishes and professional presentation. The cabinet is independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, which meets the standard procurement requirement for NHS buildings, clinical spaces, council premises and most public-facing commercial environments. The certificate can be downloaded immediately from this page for submission to facilities or compliance teams.
Q: How does the LED arrangement work at 400mm?
A: This cabinet has 9 integrated LED spotlights: one overhead and eight mounted along the sides of the interior frame. This arrangement is calibrated for the 400mm interior and produces even, shadow-free illumination across every shelf level. All LEDs run at 6400K daylight colour temperature, which is important for accurate colour rendering on skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery and colour-sensitive merchandise. The LEDs are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and do not require separate installation or cabling.
Q: Does the single door give full access to the interior?
A: Yes. At 400mm a single hinged door is the correct configuration and opens to give completely unobstructed access across the full interior width in one movement. There is no centre post. The key locks the door in a single action. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: How flexible is the shelf system?
A: Four 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track running the full interior height. Any shelf can be placed at any height and locked without tools. There are no preset holes and no fixed increments. Remove all four shelves entirely to open the complete 1800mm interior for a single tall display item or an arrangement that needs the full available height.
Q: Can I add more shelves?
A: Yes. Contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for this model. Any local glazier can produce shelves to those measurements. Shelf support rods are available from us separately.
Q: Is it fire compliant for public buildings, NHS premises and schools?
A: Yes. It is independently tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled cabinet. This meets the standard baseline requirement for NHS, local government, educational and most public-facing commercial environments. The certificate downloads immediately from this page without any request to us.
Q: Does the silver frame require any maintenance?
A: The frame uses a silver anodised aluminium finish, which is corrosion-resistant and does not require painting, polishing or periodic treatment. Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust or marks. The anodised surface is harder-wearing than paint and does not peel, chip or fade under normal indoor use.
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, designing and manufacturing since 1978. This is an own-design product. You purchase from and deal directly with the manufacturer throughout.
Q: Does it require assembly?
A: Yes. The cabinet ships flat-packed with all fixings and assembly instructions included. A full step-by-step guide is available on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=P3ODu9rU8WI. Watch it before you begin. Allow approximately one hour with a Phillips screwdriver.
Q: How is the cabinet delivered?
A: At 38kg this cabinet ships on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. This is a book-in service: our delivery partner contacts you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. Full details are in the Delivery and Returns tab.
Q: Is this available in black, or in a wider size?
A: Yes to both. The black equivalent at 400mm is DTS400CBK, identical in dimensions and specification. For more width in silver, step up to the 600mm silver (DTS601).

400mm. Silver Frame. Designed to Belong to the Room.
The DTS401LED silver glass display cabinet is the narrowest model in the DTS freestanding range, finished in silver anodised aluminium that sits within pale, neutral and professional interiors rather than commanding them. At 400mm wide, 1800mm tall and 38kg it installs into recesses, reception corners, narrow corridors, salon stations, clinical spaces and retail gaps where no wider model fits. The silver frame ensures it reads as part of the space, not an imposition on it. The specification is identical to the full DTS series: 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, and independent BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification.
Key Features
- Silver Anodised Aluminium Frame: A light-reflective, corrosion-resistant finish that integrates cleanly into pale interiors, professional environments and minimalist spaces. At 400mm the silver frame makes the cabinet visually lighter than its height suggests. It contributes to the brightness of the room rather than absorbing it. Purpose-made for spaces where the display should feel integrated, not imposed.
- 400mm Width: The Narrowest in the Range: Fits gaps, recesses, alcoves and narrow wall segments where no wider cabinet belongs. Turns corridor walls, reception corners, salon stations and structural niches into usable display positions. Full 1800mm height at the smallest possible floor footprint in the DTS series.
- 38kg: Lightest Freestanding DTS Cabinet: One person positions it after delivery without assistance. No wall-fixing required. Straightforward to relocate within a space once assembled.
- Single Hinged Door: Opens the full 400mm interior width in one movement. No centre post, no split access. One key, two keys supplied. The correct configuration for this width.
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear and the front door. No opaque surfaces. Full display visibility from all angles. This is particularly useful in reception areas and salons where the cabinet is approached from multiple directions.
- 9 Integrated 6400K Daylight LEDs: One overhead, eight side-mounted, built permanently into the silver aluminium frame. Even, shadow-free illumination calibrated for the 400mm interior. Daylight colour temperature ensures accurate colour rendering on skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery, awards and branded merchandise.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Four shelves at any height on a continuous rod track. No tools, no preset holes, no fixed increments. Remove all four to open the full 1800mm interior column. Reconfigure in minutes as your display changes.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Certified: Independently tested on the complete assembled cabinet. Certificate downloadable immediately. Download fire certification.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: Displaysense is the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary. Direct support throughout.
- Extra Shelves: Contact us after purchase for exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us.
- Assembly Required: Flat-packed with all fixings and instructions included. Watch the assembly video on YouTube.
- Also Available: Prefer black at 400mm? See DTS400CBK. Need more width in silver? Step up to the 600mm silver (DTS601).
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Salons and Wellness Studios | Skincare products, retail cosmetics and professional treatments presented beside styling stations or in compact retail runs. The silver frame at 400mm fits a salon environment built around light, clean surfaces and pale finishes without disrupting treatment flow. At 38kg it can be repositioned during refits without lifting equipment. |
| Healthcare and NHS Reception | Displays in clinical reception areas, NHS outpatient waiting spaces and council building lobbies where fire compliance is a procurement requirement and the overall interior is designed to feel clean and open. The silver frame reads neutral against clinical whites and greys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 certification downloads immediately for submission to facilities and estates teams. |
| Professional Services Reception | Awards, certifications, branded objects and curated displays in the reception areas of law firms, architecture practices, financial services offices and corporate headquarters. Pale interiors and considered fit-outs are the standard in these environments. A silver 400mm column sits within a professional reception space as a considered display feature rather than a retail fixture. |
| Minimalist and Scandi Home Display | Collectors, hobbyists and homeowners whose interiors use white, grey and natural tones throughout. The silver frame disappears into a pale scheme while the 9 LEDs draw attention to what is displayed inside. In a Scandi-influenced living space, a silver 400mm column between two items of furniture reads as architecture. At 400mm it fits where bookcases already are. |
| Gallery and Museum Contexts | Small collections, fragile objects and carefully curated single-shelf displays in gallery corners, museum reading rooms and art spaces. The silver finish is the conventional neutral in most gallery environments. At 400mm the cabinet does not dominate a small gallery room and the 360-degree glass ensures objects are visible from the full room perimeter without the viewer needing to approach directly. |
| Education and Public Sector | Trophy and achievement displays in school entrance lobbies, council building corridors and university reception areas with pale or neutral decoration. Fire compliance certification is a standard procurement requirement in all these environments. The certificate downloads immediately without any contact needed. |
| Jewellery and Optical Retail | Jewellery, watches, eyewear and precision accessories in boutique or specialist retail environments where the display context is as important as the product. Silver frames are the dominant finish in jewellery and optical retail because the neutral metallic surround does not compete with the merchandise. At 400mm the cabinet presents a curated selection at full 1800mm height in a single shelf bay's footprint. |

Product reference: DTS401LED. Displaysense 400mm silver anodised aluminium glass display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 400mm, depth 400mm, weight 38kg. Silver anodised aluminium frame. Single hinged door. 4mm toughened glass door, sides, rear. 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod track, infinite adjustment, 12kg per shelf. 9 x 6400K LED spotlights (1 top, 8 side). Key lock, 2 keys.

Some cabinets announce themselves. The Displaysense DTS401LED silver glass display cabinet does the opposite: it integrates. At 400mm wide and 1800mm tall, the silver anodised aluminium frame sits quietly against pale walls, pale floors and pale furniture, making the illuminated glass interior the only thing in the room that draws the eye. The cabinet itself recedes. The display comes forward. For professional interiors, clinical environments, minimalist retail spaces and reception areas where a bold black frame would feel imposed rather than considered, silver at 400mm is the precise solution: a full-specification display column that belongs to the space rather than interrupting it.
The silver finish is particularly effective in a narrow cabinet. At 400mm this cabinet occupies a footprint comparable to a single shelf unit. It sits between existing furniture, in recesses, beside doors, in corners of reception areas where a wider cabinet has no right to be. The silver anodised aluminium frame at that width does not dominate. It becomes part of the architecture. In a salon treatment room, a professional services reception, a clinical corridor or a pale-painted retail space, the silver frame at 400mm creates a display position where previously there was only wall.
Silver reflects ambient light back into the room. At 400mm, where the frame occupies a larger proportion of the total visible surface than at any wider width, this behaviour is meaningfully different from a black frame. The silver surfaces catch the room's lighting and contribute to the brightness around the cabinet rather than absorbing it. In a salon, reception area or healthcare environment where the overall room should feel open and light, a silver 400mm column is visually lighter than its dimensions suggest. The 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights (one overhead, eight side-mounted) do the same from inside: even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level that reads cleanly against the reflective silver surround.
This cabinet carries the complete DTS specification at 400mm. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear and the single front door gives unobstructed display visibility from every angle. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track the full interior height. Any shelf sits at any position, locked without tools, with all four removable to open the full 1800mm column. The single hinged door opens the full interior width in one movement, secured by a key lock with two keys supplied. At 38kg this is the lightest freestanding model in the DTS range and the only one at 400mm. It stands in position after delivery without wall-fixing.
It is independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled unit, meeting the certification requirement of most NHS procurement teams, local authority facilities departments and public-sector estates managers. The certificate is available to download immediately from this page without any request to the team.

In salons, clinical spaces, reception areas and minimalist home interiors, silver is the considered choice. If your setting is dark-toned, boutique or collector-focused, the black equivalent DTS400CBK may suit better.
Q: Is this suitable for a salon, clinical or NHS environment?
A: Yes, and it is particularly well suited to these environments. The silver frame integrates into clinical and salon interiors that are built around light, pale finishes and professional presentation. The cabinet is independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, which meets the standard procurement requirement for NHS buildings, clinical spaces, council premises and most public-facing commercial environments. The certificate can be downloaded immediately from this page for submission to facilities or compliance teams.
Q: How does the LED arrangement work at 400mm?
A: This cabinet has 9 integrated LED spotlights: one overhead and eight mounted along the sides of the interior frame. This arrangement is calibrated for the 400mm interior and produces even, shadow-free illumination across every shelf level. All LEDs run at 6400K daylight colour temperature, which is important for accurate colour rendering on skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery and colour-sensitive merchandise. The LEDs are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and do not require separate installation or cabling.
Q: Does the single door give full access to the interior?
A: Yes. At 400mm a single hinged door is the correct configuration and opens to give completely unobstructed access across the full interior width in one movement. There is no centre post. The key locks the door in a single action. Two keys are supplied as standard.
Q: How flexible is the shelf system?
A: Four 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track running the full interior height. Any shelf can be placed at any height and locked without tools. There are no preset holes and no fixed increments. Remove all four shelves entirely to open the complete 1800mm interior for a single tall display item or an arrangement that needs the full available height.
Q: Can I add more shelves?
A: Yes. Contact us after purchase and we will provide the exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for this model. Any local glazier can produce shelves to those measurements. Shelf support rods are available from us separately.
Q: Is it fire compliant for public buildings, NHS premises and schools?
A: Yes. It is independently tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled cabinet. This meets the standard baseline requirement for NHS, local government, educational and most public-facing commercial environments. The certificate downloads immediately from this page without any request to us.
Q: Does the silver frame require any maintenance?
A: The frame uses a silver anodised aluminium finish, which is corrosion-resistant and does not require painting, polishing or periodic treatment. Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust or marks. The anodised surface is harder-wearing than paint and does not peel, chip or fade under normal indoor use.
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, designing and manufacturing since 1978. This is an own-design product. You purchase from and deal directly with the manufacturer throughout.
Q: Does it require assembly?
A: Yes. The cabinet ships flat-packed with all fixings and assembly instructions included. A full step-by-step guide is available on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=P3ODu9rU8WI. Watch it before you begin. Allow approximately one hour with a Phillips screwdriver.
Q: How is the cabinet delivered?
A: At 38kg this cabinet ships on a pallet via a specialist tail-lift courier. This is a book-in service: our delivery partner contacts you after dispatch to agree a delivery date. A telephone number is required at checkout. Delivery is free to Zone 1 UK Mainland addresses. Full details are in the Delivery and Returns tab.
Q: Is this available in black, or in a wider size?
A: Yes to both. The black equivalent at 400mm is DTS400CBK, identical in dimensions and specification. For more width in silver, step up to the 600mm silver (DTS601).

Single Door Glass Display CabinetOverview
400mm. Silver Frame. Designed to Belong to the Room.
The DTS401LED silver glass display cabinet is the narrowest model in the DTS freestanding range, finished in silver anodised aluminium that sits within pale, neutral and professional interiors rather than commanding them. At 400mm wide, 1800mm tall and 38kg it installs into recesses, reception corners, narrow corridors, salon stations, clinical spaces and retail gaps where no wider model fits. The silver frame ensures it reads as part of the space, not an imposition on it. The specification is identical to the full DTS series: 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, and independent BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire certification.
Key Features
- Silver Anodised Aluminium Frame: A light-reflective, corrosion-resistant finish that integrates cleanly into pale interiors, professional environments and minimalist spaces. At 400mm the silver frame makes the cabinet visually lighter than its height suggests. It contributes to the brightness of the room rather than absorbing it. Purpose-made for spaces where the display should feel integrated, not imposed.
- 400mm Width: The Narrowest in the Range: Fits gaps, recesses, alcoves and narrow wall segments where no wider cabinet belongs. Turns corridor walls, reception corners, salon stations and structural niches into usable display positions. Full 1800mm height at the smallest possible floor footprint in the DTS series.
- 38kg: Lightest Freestanding DTS Cabinet: One person positions it after delivery without assistance. No wall-fixing required. Straightforward to relocate within a space once assembled.
- Single Hinged Door: Opens the full 400mm interior width in one movement. No centre post, no split access. One key, two keys supplied. The correct configuration for this width.
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear and the front door. No opaque surfaces. Full display visibility from all angles. This is particularly useful in reception areas and salons where the cabinet is approached from multiple directions.
- 9 Integrated 6400K Daylight LEDs: One overhead, eight side-mounted, built permanently into the silver aluminium frame. Even, shadow-free illumination calibrated for the 400mm interior. Daylight colour temperature ensures accurate colour rendering on skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery, awards and branded merchandise.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Four shelves at any height on a continuous rod track. No tools, no preset holes, no fixed increments. Remove all four to open the full 1800mm interior column. Reconfigure in minutes as your display changes.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Certified: Independently tested on the complete assembled cabinet. Certificate downloadable immediately. Download fire certification.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: Displaysense is the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary. Direct support throughout.
- Extra Shelves: Contact us after purchase for exact 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us.
- Assembly Required: Flat-packed with all fixings and instructions included. Watch the assembly video on YouTube.
- Also Available: Prefer black at 400mm? See DTS400CBK. Need more width in silver? Step up to the 600mm silver (DTS601).
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Salons and Wellness Studios | Skincare products, retail cosmetics and professional treatments presented beside styling stations or in compact retail runs. The silver frame at 400mm fits a salon environment built around light, clean surfaces and pale finishes without disrupting treatment flow. At 38kg it can be repositioned during refits without lifting equipment. |
| Healthcare and NHS Reception | Displays in clinical reception areas, NHS outpatient waiting spaces and council building lobbies where fire compliance is a procurement requirement and the overall interior is designed to feel clean and open. The silver frame reads neutral against clinical whites and greys. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 certification downloads immediately for submission to facilities and estates teams. |
| Professional Services Reception | Awards, certifications, branded objects and curated displays in the reception areas of law firms, architecture practices, financial services offices and corporate headquarters. Pale interiors and considered fit-outs are the standard in these environments. A silver 400mm column sits within a professional reception space as a considered display feature rather than a retail fixture. |
| Minimalist and Scandi Home Display | Collectors, hobbyists and homeowners whose interiors use white, grey and natural tones throughout. The silver frame disappears into a pale scheme while the 9 LEDs draw attention to what is displayed inside. In a Scandi-influenced living space, a silver 400mm column between two items of furniture reads as architecture. At 400mm it fits where bookcases already are. |
| Gallery and Museum Contexts | Small collections, fragile objects and carefully curated single-shelf displays in gallery corners, museum reading rooms and art spaces. The silver finish is the conventional neutral in most gallery environments. At 400mm the cabinet does not dominate a small gallery room and the 360-degree glass ensures objects are visible from the full room perimeter without the viewer needing to approach directly. |
| Education and Public Sector | Trophy and achievement displays in school entrance lobbies, council building corridors and university reception areas with pale or neutral decoration. Fire compliance certification is a standard procurement requirement in all these environments. The certificate downloads immediately without any contact needed. |
| Jewellery and Optical Retail | Jewellery, watches, eyewear and precision accessories in boutique or specialist retail environments where the display context is as important as the product. Silver frames are the dominant finish in jewellery and optical retail because the neutral metallic surround does not compete with the merchandise. At 400mm the cabinet presents a curated selection at full 1800mm height in a single shelf bay's footprint. |

Description
Some cabinets announce themselves. The Displaysense DTS401LED silver glass display cabinet does the opposite: it integrates. At 400mm wide and 1800mm tall, the silver anodised aluminium frame sits quietly against pale walls, pale floors and pale furniture, making the illuminated glass interior the only thing in the room that draws the eye. The cabinet itself recedes. The display comes forward. For professional interiors, clinical environments, minimalist retail spaces and reception areas where a bold black frame would feel imposed rather than considered, silver at 400mm is the precise solution: a full-specification display column that belongs to the space rather than interrupting it.
The silver finish is particularly effective in a narrow cabinet. At 400mm this cabinet occupies a footprint comparable to a single shelf unit. It sits between existing furniture, in recesses, beside doors, in corners of reception areas where a wider cabinet has no right to be. The silver anodised aluminium frame at that width does not dominate. It becomes part of the architecture. In a salon treatment room, a professional services reception, a clinical corridor or a pale-painted retail space, the silver frame at 400mm creates a display position where previously there was only wall.
Silver reflects ambient light back into the room. At 400mm, where the frame occupies a larger proportion of the total visible surface than at any wider width, this behaviour is meaningfully different from a black frame. The silver surfaces catch the room's lighting and contribute to the brightness around the cabinet rather than absorbing it. In a salon, reception area or healthcare environment where the overall room should feel open and light, a silver 400mm column is visually lighter than its dimensions suggest. The 9 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights (one overhead, eight side-mounted) do the same from inside: even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level that reads cleanly against the reflective silver surround.
This cabinet carries the complete DTS specification at 400mm. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear and the single front door gives unobstructed display visibility from every angle. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves travel a continuous rod track the full interior height. Any shelf sits at any position, locked without tools, with all four removable to open the full 1800mm column. The single hinged door opens the full interior width in one movement, secured by a key lock with two keys supplied. At 38kg this is the lightest freestanding model in the DTS range and the only one at 400mm. It stands in position after delivery without wall-fixing.
It is independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the complete assembled unit, meeting the certification requirement of most NHS procurement teams, local authority facilities departments and public-sector estates managers. The certificate is available to download immediately from this page without any request to the team.

Specifications
The DTS401LED is the silver-framed model at 400mm in the DTS series. It is built to the same full specification as every wider model in the range, finished in silver anodised aluminium that is at home in pale, neutral and professional interiors. At 400mm wide and 38kg it is the narrowest and lightest freestanding DTS cabinet, designed to make positions viable that no wider cabinet can occupy.
The silver anodised aluminium frame behaves differently from a black frame at this width. Where black creates contrast and draws the eye to the cabinet itself, silver recedes. It reflects ambient light back into the room and allows the display inside to lead. In salons, clinical environments, professional reception areas and minimalist home interiors, this behaviour makes the DTS401LED the considered choice: the display integrates rather than interrupts.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the UK's largest display cabinet manufacturer. No reseller. All post-purchase support comes directly from the people who designed and built this cabinet. |
| Frame Finish | Silver anodised aluminium | Reflects ambient light rather than absorbing it. Integrates into pale, neutral and professional interiors where a black frame would impose. Corrosion-resistant anodised finish maintains appearance in high-footfall environments. The conventional choice for clinical, gallery, jewellery and professional services display contexts. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full-height DTS specification at the narrowest width in the range. Four shelves presented at ceiling height in a 400mm footprint. More display capacity per floor-space unit than any wider model in the series. |
| Width | 400mm | The narrowest freestanding model in the DTS range. Fits wall recesses, furniture gaps, reception corners, salon station ends, corridor positions and exhibition stand edges where no wider cabinet is appropriate. The exact measurement for spaces where floor area is already fully committed. |
| Depth | 400mm | Consistent with the full DTS range. Provides sufficient shelf depth for layered arrangements while projecting minimally from the wall surface. |
| Weight | 38kg | Lightest freestanding DTS model. Manageable by one person after delivery. Stands without wall-fixing once assembled. Can be repositioned during interior refits without lifting equipment. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and door all glazed | No opaque panels at any angle. Display visible from the front, both sides and behind. In reception areas and salons where the cabinet is viewed from multiple approach directions, full perimeter visibility means the display is seen before the viewer is directly in front of the cabinet. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial-grade specification throughout. Handles the contact and accidental impact typical of high-footfall retail, clinical and public environments. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Load-bearing shelves specified one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. This is the appropriate commercial grade for continuous product weight across all four levels. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Any shelf at any height. Lock in place without tools. No fixed increments. Remove all four to open the complete 1800mm interior. Reconfigure the entire layout in minutes without dismantling the cabinet. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Suitable for the full range of display items at 400mm width: skincare products, cosmetics, jewellery, trophies, awards, figures and packaged goods. Place heavier items on lower shelves. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the precise 5mm tempered glass cutting dimensions for this model. Any local glazier can cut additional shelves. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 9 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | One overhead, eight side-mounted, built permanently into the silver aluminium frame. Calibrated for the 400mm interior. Even, shadow-free illumination at every shelf level. 6400K daylight temperature renders the true colour of skincare packaging, jewellery, cosmetics and branded products without the warm cast that misrepresents colour-sensitive merchandise. |
| Door | Single hinged door, full-width access | At 400mm a single door opens the full interior width in one movement. No centre post, no two-panel management. One key, one action. Correct configuration for this width regardless of use frequency. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | Single key secures the full door. Two keys supplied as standard. Appropriate for all environments where display contents require protection: retail, salon, clinical, reception, education and public sector. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | UK commercial furniture fire safety standard for public environments. Independently tested across the complete assembled cabinet. Meets the standard procurement requirement for NHS, local government, education and most public-facing commercial environments including clinical spaces. |
| Certification | Download fire safety certificate | Available immediately from this page. Download and forward to procurement, facilities or compliance teams without any delay or request to us. |
