My Edson wheel has a large chrome knob in the middle of it .... turn it clockwise to lock the wheel and anticlockwise to unlock it.
If your steering is cable like mine and the rudders don't flip to full lock if you let go of the wheel when you reverse, then you almost certainly have a problem with seized rudder bearings or similar which you need to get fixed asap. Hydraulic systems are, indeed, different and will not do the flipping.

We have the same locking knob and the same issue with the rudders flipping hard over.
You learn some of this the hard way - when the wheel tries to take your hand off!
