Small vs. Large Display Case:
Which Fits Your Collection?
Give your collection the attention it deserves with heavy-gauge steel construction, secure keyed access, and bright LED lighting. Secure Display brings the strength of metal to a wall-mounted display designed for your home or office.
Choose the Small Secure Display Case for a focused collection and a smaller wall space. Choose the Large Secure Display Case when you need room for longer collectibles, more items, or a display with space to grow.
The right choice starts with three measurements: your available wall space, the size of your collectibles—including their protective cases—and the depth of the holders needed to display them.

How Much Will Each Case Hold?
Capacity depends on the size of your items and how you arrange them.
A graded trading card takes up more space than an ungraded card. A watch displayed on a pillow needs different clearance than one suspended from a hanger. Shelves and mounting accessories also use some of the available interior depth.
Use these example capacities as a starting point:
-
Small case: 6 baseball cards, one comic book, or 2 watches, depending on layout.
-
Large case: 24 baseball cards, 6 comic books, or 4+ watches, depending on layout.
-
Long collectibles: The Large case’s usable display area measures 19¾" × 47", with 4" of interior depth.
Always measure the collectible in its protective case and allow room for its holder and the display case door to close. If you are unsure, send us the measurements and a photo before ordering.

Plan Your Installation
Check the mounting instructions before choosing a location. Your wall and fasteners must support the display case, its accessories, and the collectibles inside.
Allow space for the door to open and plan how you will power the interior lighting. An optional external battery pack with motion sensor is available for either size.
The Large model’s greater weight requires advance planning for lifting and positioning. Follow the model-specific installation instructions, and contact us if you need help determining whether your proposed location is suitable.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Small if you want to highlight a few favorite pieces, have limited wall space, or prefer the lower starting price.
Choose Large if your collection needs more display area, includes longer pieces, or you want flexibility to rearrange and expand it. The Large model also offers the option to add an alarm module. Its starting price is $1,696 higher than the Small model.
Both sizes offer steel construction, illuminated presentation, and optional accessories to help you create a display that fits your collection.
