it screws in to lock if its the old style. if it looks like a back hotdog on a stick then you have the updated one, and it doesn't lock down.

push down and turn clockwise to lock if you have the old style

thanks, i think i have the "hotdog" one that doesn't lock down. it's about an inch diameter and has a spring that holds it up.
