There is a key to lock it closed, and the same key will lock it either on or off. In keeping with a Victorian Bell/Butler Board but not near it in the house.

I guess it must be some kind of isolator switch, but I know nothing of its history.

    Is it mounted to the wall? What’s behind it? What’s on the left of the hinges?

    Some sort of locking mechanism, I don’t know, just curious about the context.
