Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames
Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames & Showboards
Protect and display posters, notices and important information with Display Me's range of lockable outdoor poster frames and showboards. Designed for secure and weather-resistant poster display, these enclosed frames are ideal for locations where standard open poster frames do not provide enough protection.
Our range includes silver, black, light wood and dark wood lockable poster frames in popular sizes including A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0, together with selected larger-format showboards.
Suitable for both outdoor and indoor applications, these secure poster display cases are widely used by schools, universities, councils, restaurants, cafés, hotels, retail stores, shopping centres, offices, strata buildings, healthcare facilities and other public or commercial environments.
What Is a Lockable Outdoor Poster Frame?
A lockable outdoor poster frame is an enclosed wall-mounted poster display case designed to provide additional security and protection for printed information.
Unlike a conventional snap frame, a lockable showboard features a hinged front door that can be opened with a key. Once locked, the poster remains protected behind a clear front cover, helping prevent unauthorised access, tampering and everyday damage.
The enclosed construction also provides greater protection from changing weather conditions, making these frames suitable for many outdoor, semi-outdoor and exposed commercial locations.
Secure Poster Display with Key Locks
Security is one of the main advantages of a lockable poster frame. Posters and notices displayed in public areas can otherwise be removed, altered or damaged.
Our lockable showboards use a key-locking system to control access to the information inside. This makes them particularly suitable for:
- Public notices
- School and university information
- Restaurant menus
- Building and strata notices
- Government information
- Workplace communications
- Retail advertising
- Event information
- Community notices
- Safety and procedural information
Only authorised staff need access to the key, helping ensure the poster or notice remains secure until it needs to be changed.
Weather-Resistant Outdoor Poster Frames
Our outdoor poster frames are designed to provide greater protection than standard indoor poster frames when signage is exposed to changing conditions.
The enclosed frame and clear polycarbonate front cover help protect printed material from rain, moisture, wind, handling and other everyday environmental exposure.
This makes them ideal for building entrances, restaurants, schools, retail premises, community facilities and other locations where posters need additional protection.
For particularly exposed locations, always check the individual product specifications and consider the exact installation position before selecting a frame.
Durable Polycarbonate Front Cover
Our lockable outdoor showboards feature a strong, clear polycarbonate front cover designed to protect the poster while keeping the printed information clearly visible.
Polycarbonate is particularly useful in commercial and public environments because it provides significantly greater impact resistance than ordinary glass while remaining clear and lightweight.
This makes the frames well suited to busy locations where displays may be exposed to frequent handling or potential accidental impact.
A4 Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames
A4 lockable poster frames are ideal for smaller notices, opening hours, instructions, menus and information displayed close to the viewer.
The compact size makes A4 showboards suitable for entrances, office doors, reception areas, apartment buildings, hospitality venues and workplaces where important information needs to remain secure and protected.
A3 Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames
A3 lockable poster frames provide more visibility while remaining compact enough for smaller wall areas.
They are commonly used for restaurant menus, public notices, school information, workplace signage, promotional messages and general customer communications.
A2 Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames
An A2 lockable outdoor poster frame provides a versatile medium-size display for advertising, menus, notices and important information.
A2 is large enough to attract attention from further away while still fitting comfortably into entrances, corridors and commercial wall spaces.
A1 Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames
A1 lockable poster frames are ideal for larger promotional posters, menus, public information and advertising where good visibility is important.
The larger poster format makes A1 showboards popular for schools, shopping centres, restaurants, hotels, councils, commercial buildings and public spaces.
A0 Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames
For maximum visibility, choose an A0 lockable outdoor poster frame. A0 provides a large display area for advertising, public notices, event information, maps and other important communications.
The combination of a large poster format, enclosed construction and key-locking system makes A0 showboards particularly useful in busy public and commercial environments.
Large Lockable Outdoor Showboards
Display Me also offers selected large-format lockable showboards beyond the standard A0 size.
These larger poster cases are suitable for oversized advertising, information displays, maps, building notices and other applications where substantial wall-mounted display space is required.
Check the individual products above for currently available sizes and specifications.
Silver Lockable Showboards
Silver Lockable Showboards provide a clean and professional aluminium appearance that works well in almost any commercial or public environment.
Silver is particularly popular for schools, offices, healthcare facilities, shopping centres, government buildings and modern commercial premises because the neutral finish complements most interiors and building exteriors.
Black Lockable Showboards
Black Lockable Showboards provide a contemporary darker finish that creates a strong border around the poster or notice.
Black poster frames are popular for restaurants, cafés, hotels, entertainment venues, retail stores, modern offices and commercial buildings.
Wood Finish Lockable Poster Cases
For environments where silver or black aluminium may appear too commercial, our wood finish lockable poster cases provide a warmer decorative appearance.
Wood-look finishes can work particularly well in restaurants, hotels, clubs, hospitality venues, community facilities and interiors where the poster frame needs to complement timber furniture or more traditional décor.
Indoor & Outdoor Lockable Poster Frames
Although designed to provide additional protection for outdoor displays, lockable poster frames are also an excellent choice indoors.
In busy indoor environments, the main requirement may be security rather than weather protection. Lockable showboards prevent customers, visitors or members of the public from removing or changing important information.
This makes them particularly useful in:
- Schools and universities
- Hospitals and medical centres
- Apartment buildings and strata properties
- Shopping centres
- Government facilities
- Factories and workplaces
- Community centres
- Office buildings
Outdoor Menu Display Cases for Restaurants & Cafés
Lockable outdoor poster frames are particularly useful as outdoor menu display cases for restaurants, cafés, hotels and hospitality venues.
Menus can be positioned near the entrance so customers can view food, drinks, pricing or special offers before entering the venue.
The lockable enclosed design keeps the menu protected while allowing staff to open the frame whenever the information needs to be updated.
Lockable Poster Frames for Schools & Universities
Schools and universities regularly need to display notices, timetables, events, policies, maps and other information in areas accessible to students, parents and visitors.
Lockable poster frames for schools provide a practical way to keep this information visible while preventing unauthorised removal or alteration.
The weather-resistant design also makes them useful near entrances, walkways and other locations where conventional indoor frames may not provide sufficient protection.
Lockable Showboards for Councils & Public Spaces
Councils, community organisations and public facilities use lockable showboards for announcements, events, maps, community information and public notices.
The combination of a secure locking system, clear protective cover and professional wall-mounted design makes these frames well suited to areas where information needs to remain accessible to the public but protected from interference.
Portrait or Landscape Display
Selected lockable outdoor showboards can be installed in either portrait or landscape orientation, providing flexibility for different poster layouts and wall spaces.
This allows the same style of frame to be used consistently throughout a building while accommodating different types of graphics and information.
Lockable Poster Frame vs Standard Snap Frame
Both snap frames and lockable poster frames provide a professional way to display posters, but they are designed for different requirements.
- Standard Snap Frames – best when quick and frequent poster changes are the main priority.
- Outdoor Snap Frames – provide additional protection where a conventional snap frame may not be suitable.
- Lockable Poster Frames – provide additional security against unauthorised access.
- Lockable Outdoor Poster Frames – combine secure access with greater environmental protection.
If the display is accessible to the general public or positioned in a more exposed area, a lockable outdoor frame is often the more suitable choice.
