Dartboard cabinets with scoreboards
A cabinet frames the board with a backboard and two doors. It catches the darts that miss, the doors double as scoreboards, and when you close it the board disappears into a piece of furniture.

What to check before you buy a cabinet
- Open width. With both doors open, a cabinet takes up roughly twice its closed width. Measure the wall before you fall in love with a model, and leave room either side so the doors do not hit a corner or a window frame.
- Board fit. Most cabinets are built for a standard 451 mm bristle board. Electronic boards only fit cabinets made for them.
- Backboard. A cork or soft backboard inside the cabinet stops darts that miss the board from hitting wood or the wall behind it.
- Scoreboards. Chalkboard doors are the classic pub look. Wipe-clean boards are tidier but need the right pens.
- Light. Some cabinets have an LED strip built into the top. If not, a ring light can be fitted to the board.
Hanging a cabinet at the right height
What counts is the bull, not the cabinet. Fit the board first, then hang the cabinet so the centre of the bull sits 1.73 m above the floor. The throw line is measured from the face of the board, which sits a few centimetres in front of the wall once it is inside a cabinet. The full method is in How to set up a dartboard at home.

Frequently asked questions
How high do I hang a dartboard cabinet?
Hang it so that the centre of the bull, not the top of the cabinet, is 1.73 m above the floor. Fit the board in the cabinet first, mark the bull height on the wall, then line up the fixings from there.
How much wall space does an open cabinet need?
Plan for about twice the closed width once both doors are open, plus a little clearance so the doors do not knock into anything. The exact open width is listed in the specifications of each cabinet.
Does an electronic dartboard fit in a normal cabinet?
Usually not. Standard cabinets are made for a 451 mm bristle board, while electronic boards come with a housing and a display that need more room. Some electronic boards come in their own cabinet.
