I would think a bad new caliper(does happen) or something in the pad area thats hanging things up & next time it locks up I'd pull the wheel & see if anything looks like it is binding the pad(other than the caliper piston) then without moving anything loosen the brake line & see if it releases the pad live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
