One Column. Full Display Above. Hidden Storage Below.
The Stahldas DTK401 is a 400mm wide freestanding glass display cabinet with an integrated lockable storage compartment at the base. The display section runs the upper portion of the 1800mm column: a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable 5mm tempered glass shelves, a single hinged lockable door and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights. The 500mm base storage section sits below, completely enclosed, with its own lockable panel. From the front the cabinet presents as a clean display column. The stock, accessories or personal items stored underneath are invisible. At 400mm wide it takes the spaces other cabinets cannot reach. Fire rated to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. Supplied by Displaysense, the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, designing and manufacturing since 1978.
Key Features
- 500mm Lockable Base Storage Compartment: A fully enclosed storage section at the base of the cabinet, locked separately from the display door above. Extra stock, product literature, accessories and personal items are stored completely out of sight behind a closed panel. No shelving, no visible contents, no clutter. The two sections share the same slim 400mm column but operate independently.
- Silver Aluminium Frame, 360-Degree Glass: The display section is built to the same commercial standard as the DTS freestanding range. The silver aluminium frame holds 4mm toughened glass on all four sides and the door. Visibility from any angle. Dust-free, secure and fully lit. The silver anodised finish is corrosion-resistant and suits professional retail, exhibition and public sector environments.
- 3 Height-Adjustable Shelves, Rod Track System: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from a continuous rod track that runs the full interior height of the display section. Slide to any position, no tools, no fixed increments. Each shelf supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. Remove all three for a single tall display column if needed.
- 9 x 6400K Daylight LED Spotlights: One top spotlight and eight side LEDs deliver shadow-free, uniform 6400K daylight illumination across all three shelf levels. The same LED specification used across the DTS range. Every item reads clearly at a commercial display standard.
- Single Hinged Lockable Door: Key lock with 2 keys supplied. The 400mm width calls for a single door rather than the double door used on wider models. Full unobstructed access to the display section when open.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Rated: Independently tested and certified for commercial and public sector use. Download the fire certificate here.
- 400mm Width, Levelling Feet: The narrowest model in the DTK storage range. Fits alcoves, recesses, beside doorways, at corridor ends and in any position a wider cabinet cannot occupy. Levelling feet adjust for uneven floors.
- Want Display Only? The DTS401LED is the same 400mm silver display cabinet without the base storage section.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail: Compact Spaces | Gift shops, jewellers, boutiques and independent retailers where every square metre of floor space is managed. It occupies a single 400mm column and provides both a full-height lit showcase for merchandise and concealed storage for backup stock and accessories. Staff can restock from the base compartment without going to a separate stockroom. |
| Vape and Specialist Retail | High-value or restricted products in specialist retail environments where display security and out-of-sight stock management are both active requirements. The locked display door and the separate locked storage section below address both on the same footprint. Fire rated for compliant vape and e-liquid display in UK commercial settings. |
| Reception and Front-of-House | Branded merchandise, awards and curated display in reception areas, hotel lobbies and corporate entrance spaces where the display must look considered and the working materials behind it must stay invisible. The 400mm footprint fits beside reception desks and in entrance alcoves without encroaching on circulation space. |
| Schools and Education | Trophy and award displays in entrance lobbies with the storage compartment used for spare keys, cleaning materials or backup display items. The narrow footprint suits corridor walls and lobby alcoves. Fire rated for public sector specification and suitable for high-traffic school environments where daily use and pupil contact are expected. |
| Exhibitions and Events | Exhibition stands where display space is allocated and every item on the floor must earn its footprint. It presents as a full-height 1800mm display column while the storage section below holds leaflets, product samples and personal items out of sight. Flat-packed delivery makes it practical for event environments with restricted access. |
| Museums and Heritage | Small object displays, heritage collections and specialist artefact showcases in gallery spaces where the display footprint is strictly controlled. The fire rating, toughened glass construction and lockable door meet the access and safety requirements expected in public-facing museum environments. The base storage handles maintenance and access materials behind a clean face. |

Product reference: DTK401. Stahldas 400mm silver aluminium freestanding glass storage display cabinet. 1800mm H x 400mm W x 400mm D. 45kg. Silver aluminium frame. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass. 3 x 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod-track height adjustable, 12kg each. 9 x 6400K LED spotlights (1 top, 8 side). Single hinged lockable door, 2 keys. Lockable 500mm base storage compartment. Levelling feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire rated. Heavy goods pallet delivery. Flat-packed self-assembly. Displaysense since 1978.
Most display cabinets do one job. The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 does two. Above: a full-height lit display section in a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable shelves and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights, the same commercial specification as the DTS freestanding range. Below: a 500mm lockable storage compartment concealed behind an opaque panel, completely invisible from the front. The footprint is a single 400mm column. At 1800mm tall it reaches full ceiling height. At 400mm wide it fits alcoves, recesses and corridor ends that a wider cabinet cannot. For any environment where display and stock management happen in the same space, this is the cabinet that puts both in one place.
The storage compartment at the base is not a shelf. It is a separate lockable section with its own key, completely closed off from the display area above. Extra stock, accessories, product literature, cleaning materials, personal items: all of it disappears behind a panel at floor level while the display above presents a clean, professional face. The two sections share the same key lock system and the same silver aluminium frame. From the front the cabinet reads as a single, unified display column with no visible indication that storage exists below.
The display section is commercial grade throughout. The silver aluminium frame holds 4mm toughened glass on all four sides and the door, giving 360-degree visibility from every angle. Three 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from the continuous rod track and adjust to any height with no tools and no fixed increments. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. The single hinged lockable door secures with a key lock, 2 keys supplied. Nine LED spotlights (1 top plus 8 side) deliver shadow-free 6400K daylight illumination. The cabinet is fire rated to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 and suitable for public and commercial environments. Levelling feet adjust for uneven floors.
At 400mm wide it is the narrowest model in the storage cabinet range. It fits the spaces that a 600mm or 800mm cabinet cannot: beside a doorway, at the end of a retail run, in a corner recess, in a narrow stockroom section or at the side of a reception desk. The 400mm depth gives stability on the floor without a wall bracket. At 1800mm it reaches standard ceiling height and presents as a full-column architectural feature rather than a piece of furniture placed in a gap.
At 45kg this cabinet is a heavy goods item. It is delivered on a pallet via specialist courier with a tail lift to kerbside. This is a book-in service. See the Delivery tab for full zone details and surcharge information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between this cabinet and the standard DTS401LED?
A: The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 adds a 500mm lockable storage compartment at the base of the cabinet below the display section. The display section is otherwise identical to the DTS freestanding range: the same silver aluminium frame, 360-degree toughened glass, rod-track shelf system and 9 LED spotlights. The storage compartment is completely enclosed and invisible from the front. The total height is 1800mm in both cases. The DTK401 is the choice when you need a professional display above and a hidden, secure storage section below within the same 400mm column.
Q: What can the base storage compartment hold?
A: The compartment is 500mm tall and 400mm wide, fully enclosed with its own lockable panel and key. It has no internal shelving, giving maximum flexibility for storage of stock, product literature, accessories, cleaning materials or personal items. It is completely invisible from the front of the cabinet with the panel closed.
Q: Are the display door and the storage compartment on the same lock?
A: No. The display door and the storage compartment are independently locked. This allows different people to have access to the display section and the storage area, or to keep the storage compartment secured while the display is accessed for restocking or rearranging.
Q: How many shelves does the display section have?
A: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves are included. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. They hang from a continuous rod track that runs the full interior height of the display section and can be moved to any position with no tools and no fixed increments. All three can be removed entirely if a tall unbroken column is needed.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet is 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 45kg. The 400mm width makes it the narrowest model in the DTK storage range, suited to spaces where a wider cabinet cannot go. The 45kg weight means it is a heavy goods item and is delivered on a pallet.
Q: How many LED lights does it have?
A: Nine LEDs are integrated into the display section: one top spotlight and eight side LEDs. All deliver 6400K daylight illumination for shadow-free, colour-accurate display across all three shelf levels.
Q: Is it fire rated for public sector or commercial use?
A: Yes. It is tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, which is the UK commercial fire safety standard for display cabinets. The certificate is downloadable from the product page. This rating makes it suitable for schools, NHS, council buildings, retail environments and other public-facing settings.
Q: How is it delivered?
A: At 45kg it is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via specialist courier with a tail lift to kerbside. This is a book-in service: after dispatch the courier will contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone and surcharge information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Is assembly required?
A: Yes. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. A step-by-step assembly video is also available on YouTube. The 400mm width means it can be brought through a standard doorway without any disassembly and assembled on site.

Single Door Glass Aluminium Display Cabinet with Hidden StorageOverview
One Column. Full Display Above. Hidden Storage Below.
The Stahldas DTK401 is a 400mm wide freestanding glass display cabinet with an integrated lockable storage compartment at the base. The display section runs the upper portion of the 1800mm column: a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable 5mm tempered glass shelves, a single hinged lockable door and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights. The 500mm base storage section sits below, completely enclosed, with its own lockable panel. From the front the cabinet presents as a clean display column. The stock, accessories or personal items stored underneath are invisible. At 400mm wide it takes the spaces other cabinets cannot reach. Fire rated to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. Supplied by Displaysense, the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, designing and manufacturing since 1978.
Key Features
- 500mm Lockable Base Storage Compartment: A fully enclosed storage section at the base of the cabinet, locked separately from the display door above. Extra stock, product literature, accessories and personal items are stored completely out of sight behind a closed panel. No shelving, no visible contents, no clutter. The two sections share the same slim 400mm column but operate independently.
- Silver Aluminium Frame, 360-Degree Glass: The display section is built to the same commercial standard as the DTS freestanding range. The silver aluminium frame holds 4mm toughened glass on all four sides and the door. Visibility from any angle. Dust-free, secure and fully lit. The silver anodised finish is corrosion-resistant and suits professional retail, exhibition and public sector environments.
- 3 Height-Adjustable Shelves, Rod Track System: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from a continuous rod track that runs the full interior height of the display section. Slide to any position, no tools, no fixed increments. Each shelf supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. Remove all three for a single tall display column if needed.
- 9 x 6400K Daylight LED Spotlights: One top spotlight and eight side LEDs deliver shadow-free, uniform 6400K daylight illumination across all three shelf levels. The same LED specification used across the DTS range. Every item reads clearly at a commercial display standard.
- Single Hinged Lockable Door: Key lock with 2 keys supplied. The 400mm width calls for a single door rather than the double door used on wider models. Full unobstructed access to the display section when open.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Rated: Independently tested and certified for commercial and public sector use. Download the fire certificate here.
- 400mm Width, Levelling Feet: The narrowest model in the DTK storage range. Fits alcoves, recesses, beside doorways, at corridor ends and in any position a wider cabinet cannot occupy. Levelling feet adjust for uneven floors.
- Want Display Only? The DTS401LED is the same 400mm silver display cabinet without the base storage section.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail: Compact Spaces | Gift shops, jewellers, boutiques and independent retailers where every square metre of floor space is managed. It occupies a single 400mm column and provides both a full-height lit showcase for merchandise and concealed storage for backup stock and accessories. Staff can restock from the base compartment without going to a separate stockroom. |
| Vape and Specialist Retail | High-value or restricted products in specialist retail environments where display security and out-of-sight stock management are both active requirements. The locked display door and the separate locked storage section below address both on the same footprint. Fire rated for compliant vape and e-liquid display in UK commercial settings. |
| Reception and Front-of-House | Branded merchandise, awards and curated display in reception areas, hotel lobbies and corporate entrance spaces where the display must look considered and the working materials behind it must stay invisible. The 400mm footprint fits beside reception desks and in entrance alcoves without encroaching on circulation space. |
| Schools and Education | Trophy and award displays in entrance lobbies with the storage compartment used for spare keys, cleaning materials or backup display items. The narrow footprint suits corridor walls and lobby alcoves. Fire rated for public sector specification and suitable for high-traffic school environments where daily use and pupil contact are expected. |
| Exhibitions and Events | Exhibition stands where display space is allocated and every item on the floor must earn its footprint. It presents as a full-height 1800mm display column while the storage section below holds leaflets, product samples and personal items out of sight. Flat-packed delivery makes it practical for event environments with restricted access. |
| Museums and Heritage | Small object displays, heritage collections and specialist artefact showcases in gallery spaces where the display footprint is strictly controlled. The fire rating, toughened glass construction and lockable door meet the access and safety requirements expected in public-facing museum environments. The base storage handles maintenance and access materials behind a clean face. |

Description
Most display cabinets do one job. The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 does two. Above: a full-height lit display section in a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable shelves and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights, the same commercial specification as the DTS freestanding range. Below: a 500mm lockable storage compartment concealed behind an opaque panel, completely invisible from the front. The footprint is a single 400mm column. At 1800mm tall it reaches full ceiling height. At 400mm wide it fits alcoves, recesses and corridor ends that a wider cabinet cannot. For any environment where display and stock management happen in the same space, this is the cabinet that puts both in one place.
The storage compartment at the base is not a shelf. It is a separate lockable section with its own key, completely closed off from the display area above. Extra stock, accessories, product literature, cleaning materials, personal items: all of it disappears behind a panel at floor level while the display above presents a clean, professional face. The two sections share the same key lock system and the same silver aluminium frame. From the front the cabinet reads as a single, unified display column with no visible indication that storage exists below.
The display section is commercial grade throughout. The silver aluminium frame holds 4mm toughened glass on all four sides and the door, giving 360-degree visibility from every angle. Three 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from the continuous rod track and adjust to any height with no tools and no fixed increments. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. The single hinged lockable door secures with a key lock, 2 keys supplied. Nine LED spotlights (1 top plus 8 side) deliver shadow-free 6400K daylight illumination. The cabinet is fire rated to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 and suitable for public and commercial environments. Levelling feet adjust for uneven floors.
At 400mm wide it is the narrowest model in the storage cabinet range. It fits the spaces that a 600mm or 800mm cabinet cannot: beside a doorway, at the end of a retail run, in a corner recess, in a narrow stockroom section or at the side of a reception desk. The 400mm depth gives stability on the floor without a wall bracket. At 1800mm it reaches standard ceiling height and presents as a full-column architectural feature rather than a piece of furniture placed in a gap.
At 45kg this cabinet is a heavy goods item. It is delivered on a pallet via specialist courier with a tail lift to kerbside. This is a book-in service. See the Delivery tab for full zone details and surcharge information.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between this cabinet and the standard DTS401LED?
A: The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 adds a 500mm lockable storage compartment at the base of the cabinet below the display section. The display section is otherwise identical to the DTS freestanding range: the same silver aluminium frame, 360-degree toughened glass, rod-track shelf system and 9 LED spotlights. The storage compartment is completely enclosed and invisible from the front. The total height is 1800mm in both cases. The DTK401 is the choice when you need a professional display above and a hidden, secure storage section below within the same 400mm column.
Q: What can the base storage compartment hold?
A: The compartment is 500mm tall and 400mm wide, fully enclosed with its own lockable panel and key. It has no internal shelving, giving maximum flexibility for storage of stock, product literature, accessories, cleaning materials or personal items. It is completely invisible from the front of the cabinet with the panel closed.
Q: Are the display door and the storage compartment on the same lock?
A: No. The display door and the storage compartment are independently locked. This allows different people to have access to the display section and the storage area, or to keep the storage compartment secured while the display is accessed for restocking or rearranging.
Q: How many shelves does the display section have?
A: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves are included. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. They hang from a continuous rod track that runs the full interior height of the display section and can be moved to any position with no tools and no fixed increments. All three can be removed entirely if a tall unbroken column is needed.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet is 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 45kg. The 400mm width makes it the narrowest model in the DTK storage range, suited to spaces where a wider cabinet cannot go. The 45kg weight means it is a heavy goods item and is delivered on a pallet.
Q: How many LED lights does it have?
A: Nine LEDs are integrated into the display section: one top spotlight and eight side LEDs. All deliver 6400K daylight illumination for shadow-free, colour-accurate display across all three shelf levels.
Q: Is it fire rated for public sector or commercial use?
A: Yes. It is tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, which is the UK commercial fire safety standard for display cabinets. The certificate is downloadable from the product page. This rating makes it suitable for schools, NHS, council buildings, retail environments and other public-facing settings.
Q: How is it delivered?
A: At 45kg it is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via specialist courier with a tail lift to kerbside. This is a book-in service: after dispatch the courier will contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone and surcharge information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Is assembly required?
A: Yes. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. A step-by-step assembly video is also available on YouTube. The 400mm width means it can be brought through a standard doorway without any disassembly and assembled on site.

One Column. Full Display Above. Hidden Storage Below.
The Stahldas DTK401 is a 400mm wide freestanding glass display cabinet with an integrated lockable storage compartment at the base. The display section runs the upper portion of the 1800mm column: a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable 5mm tempered glass shelves, a single hinged lockable door and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights. The 500mm base storage section sits below, completely enclosed, with its own lockable panel. From the front the cabinet presents as a clean display column. The stock, accessories or personal items stored underneath are invisible. At 400mm wide it takes the spaces other cabinets cannot reach. Fire rated to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. Supplied by Displaysense, the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, designing and manufacturing since 1978.
Key Features
- 500mm Lockable Base Storage Compartment: A fully enclosed storage section at the base of the cabinet, locked separately from the display door above. Extra stock, product literature, accessories and personal items are stored completely out of sight behind a closed panel. No shelving, no visible contents, no clutter. The two sections share the same slim 400mm column but operate independently.
- Silver Aluminium Frame, 360-Degree Glass: The display section is built to the same commercial standard as the DTS freestanding range. The silver aluminium frame holds 4mm toughened glass on all four sides and the door. Visibility from any angle. Dust-free, secure and fully lit. The silver anodised finish is corrosion-resistant and suits professional retail, exhibition and public sector environments.
- 3 Height-Adjustable Shelves, Rod Track System: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from a continuous rod track that runs the full interior height of the display section. Slide to any position, no tools, no fixed increments. Each shelf supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. Remove all three for a single tall display column if needed.
- 9 x 6400K Daylight LED Spotlights: One top spotlight and eight side LEDs deliver shadow-free, uniform 6400K daylight illumination across all three shelf levels. The same LED specification used across the DTS range. Every item reads clearly at a commercial display standard.
- Single Hinged Lockable Door: Key lock with 2 keys supplied. The 400mm width calls for a single door rather than the double door used on wider models. Full unobstructed access to the display section when open.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Rated: Independently tested and certified for commercial and public sector use. Download the fire certificate here.
- 400mm Width, Levelling Feet: The narrowest model in the DTK storage range. Fits alcoves, recesses, beside doorways, at corridor ends and in any position a wider cabinet cannot occupy. Levelling feet adjust for uneven floors.
- Want Display Only? The DTS401LED is the same 400mm silver display cabinet without the base storage section.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail: Compact Spaces | Gift shops, jewellers, boutiques and independent retailers where every square metre of floor space is managed. It occupies a single 400mm column and provides both a full-height lit showcase for merchandise and concealed storage for backup stock and accessories. Staff can restock from the base compartment without going to a separate stockroom. |
| Vape and Specialist Retail | High-value or restricted products in specialist retail environments where display security and out-of-sight stock management are both active requirements. The locked display door and the separate locked storage section below address both on the same footprint. Fire rated for compliant vape and e-liquid display in UK commercial settings. |
| Reception and Front-of-House | Branded merchandise, awards and curated display in reception areas, hotel lobbies and corporate entrance spaces where the display must look considered and the working materials behind it must stay invisible. The 400mm footprint fits beside reception desks and in entrance alcoves without encroaching on circulation space. |
| Schools and Education | Trophy and award displays in entrance lobbies with the storage compartment used for spare keys, cleaning materials or backup display items. The narrow footprint suits corridor walls and lobby alcoves. Fire rated for public sector specification and suitable for high-traffic school environments where daily use and pupil contact are expected. |
| Exhibitions and Events | Exhibition stands where display space is allocated and every item on the floor must earn its footprint. It presents as a full-height 1800mm display column while the storage section below holds leaflets, product samples and personal items out of sight. Flat-packed delivery makes it practical for event environments with restricted access. |
| Museums and Heritage | Small object displays, heritage collections and specialist artefact showcases in gallery spaces where the display footprint is strictly controlled. The fire rating, toughened glass construction and lockable door meet the access and safety requirements expected in public-facing museum environments. The base storage handles maintenance and access materials behind a clean face. |

Product reference: DTK401. Stahldas 400mm silver aluminium freestanding glass storage display cabinet. 1800mm H x 400mm W x 400mm D. 45kg. Silver aluminium frame. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass. 3 x 5mm tempered glass shelves, rod-track height adjustable, 12kg each. 9 x 6400K LED spotlights (1 top, 8 side). Single hinged lockable door, 2 keys. Lockable 500mm base storage compartment. Levelling feet. BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire rated. Heavy goods pallet delivery. Flat-packed self-assembly. Displaysense since 1978.
Most display cabinets do one job. The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 does two. Above: a full-height lit display section in a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable shelves and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights, the same commercial specification as the DTS freestanding range. Below: a 500mm lockable storage compartment concealed behind an opaque panel, completely invisible from the front. The footprint is a single 400mm column. At 1800mm tall it reaches full ceiling height. At 400mm wide it fits alcoves, recesses and corridor ends that a wider cabinet cannot. For any environment where display and stock management happen in the same space, this is the cabinet that puts both in one place.
The storage compartment at the base is not a shelf. It is a separate lockable section with its own key, completely closed off from the display area above. Extra stock, accessories, product literature, cleaning materials, personal items: all of it disappears behind a panel at floor level while the display above presents a clean, professional face. The two sections share the same key lock system and the same silver aluminium frame. From the front the cabinet reads as a single, unified display column with no visible indication that storage exists below.
The display section is commercial grade throughout. The silver aluminium frame holds 4mm toughened glass on all four sides and the door, giving 360-degree visibility from every angle. Three 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from the continuous rod track and adjust to any height with no tools and no fixed increments. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. The single hinged lockable door secures with a key lock, 2 keys supplied. Nine LED spotlights (1 top plus 8 side) deliver shadow-free 6400K daylight illumination. The cabinet is fire rated to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 and suitable for public and commercial environments. Levelling feet adjust for uneven floors.
At 400mm wide it is the narrowest model in the storage cabinet range. It fits the spaces that a 600mm or 800mm cabinet cannot: beside a doorway, at the end of a retail run, in a corner recess, in a narrow stockroom section or at the side of a reception desk. The 400mm depth gives stability on the floor without a wall bracket. At 1800mm it reaches standard ceiling height and presents as a full-column architectural feature rather than a piece of furniture placed in a gap.
At 45kg this cabinet is a heavy goods item. It is delivered on a pallet via specialist courier with a tail lift to kerbside. This is a book-in service. See the Delivery tab for full zone details and surcharge information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between this cabinet and the standard DTS401LED?
A: The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 adds a 500mm lockable storage compartment at the base of the cabinet below the display section. The display section is otherwise identical to the DTS freestanding range: the same silver aluminium frame, 360-degree toughened glass, rod-track shelf system and 9 LED spotlights. The storage compartment is completely enclosed and invisible from the front. The total height is 1800mm in both cases. The DTK401 is the choice when you need a professional display above and a hidden, secure storage section below within the same 400mm column.
Q: What can the base storage compartment hold?
A: The compartment is 500mm tall and 400mm wide, fully enclosed with its own lockable panel and key. It has no internal shelving, giving maximum flexibility for storage of stock, product literature, accessories, cleaning materials or personal items. It is completely invisible from the front of the cabinet with the panel closed.
Q: Are the display door and the storage compartment on the same lock?
A: No. The display door and the storage compartment are independently locked. This allows different people to have access to the display section and the storage area, or to keep the storage compartment secured while the display is accessed for restocking or rearranging.
Q: How many shelves does the display section have?
A: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves are included. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. They hang from a continuous rod track that runs the full interior height of the display section and can be moved to any position with no tools and no fixed increments. All three can be removed entirely if a tall unbroken column is needed.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet is 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 45kg. The 400mm width makes it the narrowest model in the DTK storage range, suited to spaces where a wider cabinet cannot go. The 45kg weight means it is a heavy goods item and is delivered on a pallet.
Q: How many LED lights does it have?
A: Nine LEDs are integrated into the display section: one top spotlight and eight side LEDs. All deliver 6400K daylight illumination for shadow-free, colour-accurate display across all three shelf levels.
Q: Is it fire rated for public sector or commercial use?
A: Yes. It is tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, which is the UK commercial fire safety standard for display cabinets. The certificate is downloadable from the product page. This rating makes it suitable for schools, NHS, council buildings, retail environments and other public-facing settings.
Q: How is it delivered?
A: At 45kg it is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via specialist courier with a tail lift to kerbside. This is a book-in service: after dispatch the courier will contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone and surcharge information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Is assembly required?
A: Yes. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. A step-by-step assembly video is also available on YouTube. The 400mm width means it can be brought through a standard doorway without any disassembly and assembled on site.

The Stahldas DTK401 is a 400mm wide freestanding glass display cabinet with an integrated lockable storage compartment at the base. The display section runs the upper portion of the 1800mm column: a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable 5mm tempered glass shelves, a single hinged lockable door and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights. The 500mm base storage section sits below, completely enclosed, with its own lockable panel. From the front the cabinet presents as a clean display column.

Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail: Compact Spaces | Gift shops, jewellers, boutiques and independent retailers where every square metre of floor space is managed.

Staff can restock from the base compartment without going to a separate stockroom. |
| Vape and Specialist Retail | High-value or restricted products in specialist retail environments where display security and out-of-sight stock management are both active requirements.

The narrow footprint suits corridor walls and lobby alcoves.

| Exhibitions and Events | Exhibition stands where display space is allocated and every item on the floor must earn its footprint. It presents as a full-height 1800mm display column while the storage section below holds leaflets, product samples and personal items out of sight.

Description
Most display cabinets do one job. The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 does two. Above: a full-height lit display section in a silver aluminium frame with 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, 3 height-adjustable shelves and 9 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights, the same commercial specification as the DTS freestanding range. Below: a 500mm lockable storage compartment concealed behind an opaque panel, completely invisible from the front. The footprint is a single 400mm column. At 1800mm tall it reaches full ceiling height. At 400mm wide it fits alcoves, recesses and corridor ends that a wider cabinet cannot. For any environment where display and stock management happen in the same space, this is the cabinet that puts both in one place.
The storage compartment at the base is not a shelf. It is a separate lockable section with its own key, completely closed off from the display area above. Extra stock, accessories, product literature, cleaning materials, personal items: all of it disappears behind a panel at floor level while the display above presents a clean, professional face. The two sections share the same key lock system and the same silver aluminium frame. From the front the cabinet reads as a single, unified display column with no visible indication that storage exists below.
The display section is commercial grade throughout. The silver aluminium frame holds 4mm toughened glass on all four sides and the door, giving 360-degree visibility from every angle. Three 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from the continuous rod track and adjust to any height with no tools and no fixed increments. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. The single hinged lockable door secures with a key lock, 2 keys supplied. Nine LED spotlights (1 top plus 8 side) deliver shadow-free 6400K daylight illumination. The cabinet is fire rated to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 and suitable for public and commercial environments. Levelling feet adjust for uneven floors.
At 400mm wide it is the narrowest model in the storage cabinet range. It fits the spaces that a 600mm or 800mm cabinet cannot: beside a doorway, at the end of a retail run, in a corner recess, in a narrow stockroom section or at the side of a reception desk. The 400mm depth gives stability on the floor without a wall bracket. At 1800mm it reaches standard ceiling height and presents as a full-column architectural feature rather than a piece of furniture placed in a gap.

Specifications
The DTK401 is the 400mm model in the Stahldas DTK freestanding storage cabinet range. It combines a full-height lit display section with a 500mm lockable base storage compartment in a single 400mm-wide column. The display section specification mirrors the DTS freestanding range: silver aluminium frame, 360-degree 4mm toughened glass, continuous rod-track shelf system and 9 x 6400K LED spotlights. The base storage section is fully enclosed, separately locked and invisible from the front.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Displaysense, UK manufacturer since 1978 | Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. Direct post-purchase support from the team that built it. |
| Overall Height | 1800mm | Full floor-to-ceiling height in most standard rooms. The 1800mm column presents as a considered architectural feature rather than a cabinet placed in a gap. |
| Width | 400mm | The narrowest model in the DTK storage range. Fits alcoves, recesses, beside doorways and corridor ends where a wider cabinet cannot go. |
| Depth | 400mm | 400mm depth provides a stable floor-standing footprint without a wall bracket. Deep enough for a genuine display of three-dimensional objects across three shelf levels. |
| Weight | 45kg | Heavy goods item. Pallet delivery with tail lift to kerbside. Book-in service with delivery date agreed in advance. Free to Zone 1 UK mainland. |
| Frame | Silver anodised aluminium | Corrosion-resistant, rigid and lightweight. The silver anodised finish suits professional retail, exhibition and public sector environments and does not chip, peel or corrode with daily use. |
| Glass: Sides and Door | 4mm toughened glass | 360-degree clear glass sides give full visibility of displayed items from any angle. 4mm toughened specification for commercial durability and resistance to impact and thermal shock. |
| Glass: Shelves | 5mm tempered glass | Shelves are specified 1mm thicker than the panels because they carry load. 5mm tempered glass at 12kg per shelf is a commercial-grade load specification. |
| Shelves | 3 x height-adjustable, rod track system | A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the display section. Each shelf slides to any position with no tools and no fixed increments. Remove all three for a single unbroken display column if needed. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf, evenly distributed | 12kg per shelf supports a meaningful commercial display load including ceramics, electronics, collectibles and retail merchandise. |
| LED Lighting | 9 x 6400K daylight LEDs (1 top, 8 side) | One overhead spotlight plus eight side LEDs deliver uniform, shadow-free illumination across all three shelf levels. 6400K daylight hue renders colours accurately, which matters in retail and professional display environments. |
| Display Door | Single hinged, key lock, 2 keys supplied | Single door appropriate to the 400mm width. Full unobstructed access to the display section when open. Key lock with 2 keys supplied as standard. |
| Base Storage | 500mm H lockable compartment | Fully enclosed, separately locked from the display door. Invisible from the front. Holds extra stock, product literature, accessories or personal items completely out of sight. |
| Fire Compliance | BS 5852:2006 Section 12, tested | Independently fire tested to the UK commercial standard for display cabinets. Required for use in schools, NHS, council buildings, retail and other public environments. Download the certificate. |
| Levelling Feet | Adjustable, screw-in mechanism | Adjusts for uneven floors. Essential in older buildings and retail fit-outs where perfect level floors are not guaranteed. |
| Assembly | Flat-packed, self-assembly, instructions included | All fixings and assembly instructions supplied. Watch the assembly video on YouTube before starting. Practical for sites with restricted access where pre-assembled delivery is not possible. |

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between this cabinet and the standard DTS401LED?
A: The Displaysense Stahldas DTK401 adds a 500mm lockable storage compartment at the base of the cabinet below the display section. The display section is otherwise identical to the DTS freestanding range: the same silver aluminium frame, 360-degree toughened glass, rod-track shelf system and 9 LED spotlights. The storage compartment is completely enclosed and invisible from the front. The total height is 1800mm in both cases. The DTK401 is the choice when you need a professional display above and a hidden, secure storage section below within the same 400mm column.
Q: What can the base storage compartment hold?
A: The compartment is 500mm tall and 400mm wide, fully enclosed with its own lockable panel and key. It has no internal shelving, giving maximum flexibility for storage of stock, product literature, accessories, cleaning materials or personal items. It is completely invisible from the front of the cabinet with the panel closed.
Q: Are the display door and the storage compartment on the same lock?
A: No. The display door and the storage compartment are independently locked. This allows different people to have access to the display section and the storage area, or to keep the storage compartment secured while the display is accessed for restocking or rearranging.
Q: How many shelves does the display section have?
A: Three 5mm tempered glass shelves are included. Each supports up to 12kg evenly distributed. They hang from a continuous rod track that runs the full interior height of the display section and can be moved to any position with no tools and no fixed increments. All three can be removed entirely if a tall unbroken column is needed.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet is 1800mm high x 400mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 45kg. The 400mm width makes it the narrowest model in the DTK storage range, suited to spaces where a wider cabinet cannot go. The 45kg weight means it is a heavy goods item and is delivered on a pallet.
Q: How many LED lights does it have?
A: Nine LEDs are integrated into the display section: one top spotlight and eight side LEDs. All deliver 6400K daylight illumination for shadow-free, colour-accurate display across all three shelf levels.
Q: Is it fire rated for public sector or commercial use?
A: Yes. It is tested and certified to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, which is the UK commercial fire safety standard for display cabinets. The certificate is downloadable from the product page. This rating makes it suitable for schools, NHS, council buildings, retail environments and other public-facing settings.
Q: How is it delivered?
A: At 45kg it is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via specialist courier with a tail lift to kerbside. This is a book-in service: after dispatch the courier will contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone and surcharge information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Is assembly required?
A: Yes. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. A step-by-step assembly video is also available on YouTube. The 400mm width means it can be brought through a standard doorway without any disassembly and assembled on site.
