Yeah, the key only works on the boom. The Dwyer set up is made for a swaged ball which I guess you would have to supply for yourself out of wire. The similar Laser device has a curved key that looks like a bent clevis pin with a big head which you shackle to the boom end of the vang. It won't slip out since the entire assemble hangs from it.

George,
On second thought, I can see that the vang key assembly would not be a good idea for the mast end of the vang. Besides wanting to fall down and out of the slot, the vang should probably be hooked hard to the boat at least at one end or it will eventually end up in the drink.
