A switch cabinet has a door that is provided with a sealing element made of elastic rubber material. The sealing element has a top bead with a cavity, as well as a fastening strip with a self-adhesive adhesion layer. The sealing element contacts one rim flange by means of the fastening strip and the adhesion layer. A friction-reducing coating can be applied onto an end surface intended to rest against a front surface of the switch cabinet or onto an adjacent side surface.
