Abstract: A frame leg for a rack of a switchgear cabinet having two partial profile strips produced from material strips in a stamping and bending process, wherein the partial profile sections overlap each other with partial sections in connecting areas and are fixedly connected with respect to each other. The stability, the torsional stability and sealing of a frame leg of this type can be improved with negligible outlay. Prior to or during the stamping and bending process of the two partial profile sections, the partial sections included in the connecting areas are provided with a curable adhesive layer at least in one of the partial sections, and that the cured adhesive layers connect the partial sections of the two partial connecting sections included in the connecting areas in a fixed manner.
