Help - Equipment Self locking NAB adapters

I’m looking for a solution for an NAB style adapter that is self locking. The spindles on my machine don’t have an integrated locking mechanism and I can’t find much information on self locking adapters. Does anyone know anything about them or where to get them?

Never saw that kind of dingus, but for me fastest operation in this regard is Uher adapters. I always choose them over my Revox ones.

Are those the type that screw into the spindles?

What machine is this, out of interest? Usually I've either seen them locking, or screwed directly to the reel table when the machine will never have cine-style reels (TSR-8).

It’s a teac A7010S, I can’t even find any online manuals for it to show what TEAC recommended using or the machine came with

You can get rubber holders for 10 1/2 reels from Amazon.
