Is it actually made of brass?
No — despite the name, the case is made from gold polished stainless steel, which has the warm gold appearance of brass without the tarnishing. Real brass requires regular polishing to maintain its finish; this product requires none. The stainless steel construction also makes it more suitable for outdoor use.
What is the difference between the illuminated and non-illuminated versions?
The illuminated version has LED lighting fitted inside, making the display visible in low light and at night — ideal for restaurant entrances and outdoor installations. It requires hardwired connection by a qualified electrician. The non-illuminated version is a lockable display case with no lighting.
Does the illuminated version just plug in?
No — the illuminated version is fitted with a connector block in the rear and requires connection by a qualified electrician. It is not a plug-in unit.
What goes inside the case?
The case is designed to display a printed menu or poster behind the locked front panel. Contact us at sales@goodwinandgoodwin.com to discuss printed insert options.
Can I upload my own design for the insert?
An artwork upload field is available at checkout. Contact us at sales@goodwinandgoodwin.com to confirm what is included and how the artwork is handled.
What sizes are available?
A4, A3, and A2 — in landscape or portrait orientation.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — the gold polished stainless steel construction and lockable case make it well suited to outdoor installation. For the illuminated version, ensure all electrical connections are appropriately weatherproofed by your electrician.
Does it come with a lock and keys?
Yes — the case is fitted with a lockable door and comes with two keys.
How is it fixed to the wall?
Wall mounting method is not described on the product page — contact us at sales@goodwinandgoodwin.com for fixing details.
How long does it take to make?
Please allow 2–3 weeks — the case is made to order.
Does it come with a warranty?
