1. A system for ensuring proper installation of components of a cargo management system within a cargo hold, the system comprising:
a plurality of cleats rigidly attached to a floor of the cargo hold;
a first subset of the plurality of cleats comprising insets having a first shape;
a second subset of the plurality of cleats comprising insets having a second shape;
keys and rotatable fasteners attached to the components of the cargo management system, a first subset of the keys having the first shape and a second subset of the keys having the second shape;
wherein the first subset of keys can only engage with the first subset of cleats and the second subset of keys can only engage with the second subset of cleats, and
wherein the rotatable fasteners are configured for rotary movement to secure the components of the cargo management system to a respective cleat, against which the rotary fastener is engaged.
