TDL™ Secure Display Cases

Jahabow’s TDL™ (Theft Deterrent Level™) Series of Secure Display Cases define the industry standard for reducing loss and safeguarding your most valuable inventory. High quality construction, materials, and lighting beautifully display your merchandise, while protecting it from unauthorized access.

What is TDL™?

Up until now, classifying levels of security in display cases has been a subjective conversation. No more. As the industry leader in Secure Display Cases, we have created our own classification system called Theft Deterrent Level™ or TDL™. This classification system illustrates how our Secure Display Cases perform under common stresses.

As the TDL rating of the case increases, so do your efforts to achieve improved Loss Prevention.

  • Frame
    Our frame acts as the foundation for all of our display cases. The TDL Secure Display Case frame consists of a one-piece aluminum extrusion, which adds significant strength and durability.
  • Glass
    Varying combinations of Safety Glass, Hurricane Glass, and Polycarbonate provide three Theft Deterrent Levels that dramatically improve security over a standard tempered glass showcase.
  • Locks
    The interior locking component of the TDL Secure Display Case is incorporated into the steel slotted standard, upgrading the lock strength. The exterior lock is flush with the door to prevent access to through prying.
  • Reinforced Doors
    The doors on the back of the unit provide our final component of strength. The doors are made of solid, machined aluminum which makes them less prone to access via prying or repeated pounding.

Independently Tested

Theft Deterrent Level (TDL) is calculated using a weighted formula for load resistance and deflection of the glass barrier. Testing was performed at a third party testing facility using a Hydrostatic Pressure Ram with pressure and deflection outputs allowing us to capture tangible security data.


  • Rupture
    The failure of glass or Polycarbonate material in the case is defined as rupture. Rupture is measured once an opening greater than 4 inches is created in the display case allowing for access to interior contents.
  • Deflection
    Deflection is defined based upon how many inches the glass or Polycarbonate must travel or stretch before the material ruptures. The larger the deflection, the longer it will take for an attacker to breach the display case.
