The enclosure with the double padlocks is the main (400 amp) switchgear, with the meter inside.
As Sierra Electrician noted, the original plan was for the panel to be accessible if either lock was removed; the PoCo owned one, and the customer the other.
This old unit, however, is broken. The locks are now just for decoration; the handle turns without removing either one.

Now- if you really want something else to smile about.....that dark yellow smear on the wall, under the disconnect, is the result of the nozzle breaking off a can of spray foam, as I was filling a hole in the wall!

Is that condensing unit built as an outdoor unit? We have a product line similar to that with a cabinet over the top and three sides with a grill on the access side. Our indoor units do not have a cabinet like the one in your picture. All of our outdoor units are NEMA 3R minimum.

This link (cut & paste) shows what our outdoor units look like. Warning this is not a plug, just an example. I do not know if everyone requires this. http://www.rae-corp.com/lui_low.htm

Edit for link.

Quite right, Rad...this is definitely an indoor unit- placed outdoors!

Ahh yes,
Now the pennie's dropped!.
I thought I'd seen them units used indoors.
I wondered what that mark was when I first saw these pics.
Them cans of foam can be nasty little buggers if they get out of control.
I try and avoid them and anyone using them at all costs.
