Hi Franco, if you never press the pedal the brake can't lock on. but if you use it for holding the bike at lights on hill etc, then it can. The usual cause is the fluid return hole is blocked in the master cylinder bore. Its a very small orifice approx 0.5mm. The master has to be stripped to examine it.
