Lockable Notice Boards - A Look at their Make and Applications

Posted by maryparker on October 14th, 2012

Lockable notice boards are commonly seen in schools and offices where various announcements are posted. Other establishments, including homes have also bought these notice boards. Their design and construction guarantees that all postings remain safe and intact wherever these noticeboards may be displayed.

Lockable notice boards are very important for schools. It is here that announcements regarding anything from exam results, schedules of activities, solicitations for donations and student honour rolls will be found. In fact, with just one look at this board, you will have a picture of everything going on in that school at that point in time. Offices too are major buyers of these noticeboards. Ideal for official announcements like general memos, circular memoranda and announcements for assemblies with the corresponding schedule, place and agenda, these notice boards can become quite indespensible. While schools and offices make up the biggest market for lockable notice boards, there are other buyers too such as hospitals, stations and churches.

Public notices have often been posted outside community centres and churches. It became a great way for companies to promote products and not only that, schools can announce test schedules, business establishments could declare services offered, organisations could get the word out to their members regarding meetings, agendas and other information. Some people also use similar boards at home as an alternative to posting everything on the refrigerator door.  

Constructed out of durable materials and designed to be versatile enough to be put up anywhere, these noticeboards provide protection for the notices while remaining visible to everyone. Available in wooden and aluminium frames, the units come with side hinges and have impressive key locks that do well on the polycarbonate cover, which is easily lockable. Manufacturers produce velco-friendly, tamperproof, lockable notice boards owing to demand which has increased considerably over the years. To be able to take these products to different customers, manufacturers have now gone online with customisable versions of these boards.

Notice boards can be custom-built. Because of this, it is not unusual to see different sizes and designs. The most common material used for the frame is wood or aluminum. Wood frames are treated and varnished, while aluminum frames are galvanized - these processes increase the durability of the board. The transparent protective panel that shields the posted notices is not ordinary glass, but a reinforced thermoplastic material that is more resilient. This guarantees the safety and integrity of the notices, giving little, or no chance that the notices will be ripped, vandalised or covered with something else. The boards can be oriented vertically or horizontally, depending on your requirements.

Lockable notice boards can be made to be put up not just indoors but outdoors too. These particular types must be weather-resistant and offer a UV shield to prevent damage to printed material. Posters are protected from weather damage as rubber gaskets keep them waterproof. This is another reason why these boards have become popular especially at trade fairs.

Now you know about notice boards and their multiple applications you can try your luck searching on the internet for the most reputable notice board companies. Go through forums, look into descriptions and scrutinise suggestions and reviews. Locate a seller that deals with first quality noticeboards, and familiarise yourself with all the terms and conditions, including shipping information.
