To lock the trem, you need to stuff something in between the tremolo block, and the body of the guitar. Measure this gap (on the side of the block opposite the springs), while the tremolo bar is pulled up to its max position. You should probably slacken the strings a bit before you do this. The idea is to wedge the block so that the bridge is held firmly against the face of the guitar. That will maximize the interaction between the strings and the body. The action and intonation will need to be adjusted after the tremolo is locked.
