         Is this roughly what you're seeing?

         In doing some searches, it appears that on many of these 
"electrical disconnect" or "ac disconnect" boxes, just opening the door 
cuts power, then you can pull out the fuse pack.

         Some have a pull out "handle" that cuts power when the handle is 
pulled out. Like this:

         Does the disconnect box have the manufacturers name and model 
number on it?  If so, Google that to see if you can find any instructions 
online that details how the box works.
