The discovery concerns a fastening device for hinge parts and wall elements on frames of equipment enclosures in the electronic industry, whose sectional side rails show a longitudinal groove. A sprung u-clip 13 showing two thread carriers 16,23, is attachable in this longitudinal groove. A spring tongue 20 on the u-clip faces outward and reaches into a mounting on the longitudinal groove. The longitudinal groove bears rows of through holes corresponding to the thread carrier 16,23 for attachment screws.
