An electrical apparatus housing having a door for accessing the apparatus within the interior of the housing and a switch for activating the apparatus accessible from the exterior of the housing. When in the on position, the switch is operable to block the door from being opened; thus functioning as an interlock to prevent access to the interior of the housing when the apparatus is activated. The invention includes a key for bypassing the interlock so that under certain circumstances the housing door can be opened while the equipment is operating, so it can be tested in its energized state.
