Locking drums are caused by one of the following.
Oil / brake fluid soaked shoes
Primary and secondary shoes reversed ( only with a self energizing system )
Worn backing plate contact pads ( where the side brake shoe rests )
Worn backing plates are the most common failure if nothing else is visible.
What happens is the shoe twists as it rides out of the grooved contact pad
causing it to twist and lock.
