Help installing locking skewers

Hey guys,

So I ordered locking skewers assuming it'd be an easy in and out replacement on my bike. Here's a photo, I'm just stalled and assume I'm completely missing something or did everything wrong :[

The bike is a Mercier Kilo TT (finally decided on at the strong recommendation of these forums) found at
http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...t_stripper.htm

The skewers are Delta Hublox Security Skewers found at
http://www.amazon.com/Delta-TD9130-H.../dp/B000MIVN3S

Is it that these skewers are made for a completely different wheel/axle? Would it require more equipment? I'm thinking that if it requires changing parts of the wheel that I'm better off with an alternative, I seem to gather that the "Pitlocks" are as simple as just replacing the nuts with ones incompatible with standard wrenches? My goal here is to prevent wheel theft eliminating the need for a cable while staying cost effective and requiring little mechanics, if reccommended, I can return these and buy an alternative. My repair knowledge is very limited, so bear with me, and I thank in advance for the help.
