Hack to lock out cheap front suspension?

Anybody know of a quick & easy hack to lock out a basic front suspension?

More details: My spouse has an older Trek 7200 Multitrack, and is looking for something a bit more nimble. As a larger rider, I'm not sure they benefit much from the front suspension that the bike has...it's at least 1/2 compressed standing still and there doesn't look like there is any preload adjustment or anything like that. I was hoping I could figure out a quick way to lock it out to see if they preferred the suspension or would be happy with a rigid fork. This is a hack that would only need to work well for at most ~10 miles, just as a way of trying things out once.

Appreciate any ideas. Thanks!
