My brother always told me "never lock your knees, it's bad on your joints!"
No idea what his resources were for telling me that. I just figure it's better to avoid joint pain.
I have one exception: I lock my knees when I realize that I'm blacking out due to hypotension, I don't want to fall over, and I don't have anything sturdy to grab.
