A seal for a switchgear (40) enclosure is described. The switchgear enclosure includes a case having an opening defined by a face frame (28), the face frame (28) having an inner frame (44) surface along a face frame hinge side (46) and a door for covering the opening. The door includes a door inner surface (17) and a door hinge side (30) pivotally attached to the face frame along the face frame hinge side (38). The seal includes a sealing member (40) disposed along the door hinge side of the door adjacent the door inner surface and configured for movement substantially perpendicular to the door hinge side between a disengaged position and an engaged position. The sealing member comprises a flange (42) for overlapping at least a portion of an inner surface of the face frame along the face frame hinge (30) side when in the engaged position.
