Looks like a locking pin where the groove sits against a sprung ball bearing. Easy enough to insert and release but prevents two parts from moving in a perpendicular path to the pin. Can be used to stop pivoting too.
Makes me think of the kind of pin that you pull out to lift up the seat of a rowing machine to store it vertically.
The groove defiantly looks like a detent, the kegs do have a lever that lifts to open them but there is no hole for this to fit.
