Abstract: A switchgear cabinet with at least one cabinet door, which can be locked by a lock element of the switchgear cabinet body wherein, in a locked position of the cabinet door, a locking engagement between the lock element and a counter-lock element can be released by a triggering device, which is in an operative connection with the lock element or the counter-lock element via an actuating unit. So that the cabinet door can be opened in a simple way from the inside of the switchgear cabinet, the actuating unit of this invention is designed as a Bowden cable, with one end connected to the triggering device via a connecting element and an other end connected with the lock element or the counter-lock element. The triggering device has a rotary body which is pivotably seated about an axis of rotation. The end of the Bowden cable is fastened eccentrically offset with respect to the axis of rotation on the rotary body, and a lever with a handle is connected to the rotary body.
