    Is this the Lockshield on my Radiator?

    Hi all, just a quick question, is the picture below my lockshield on my radiator? If so how do I close it, it doesn't have a spindle, would this just be an allen key? Sorry I've got no idea about this sort of thing. Any help is much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
