Rear brake locking up

I just replaced my rear brakes and rotors and now they are locking up! Could the smarty cause this or is it ust bad calipers? What else any suggestions?

Make sure you check the caliper guides, they must move smoothly.

What make of pads did you use? If the pads are not the exact same size as oem, they could grab on the used worn disc outer wear ridge if you didn't hone it off. Maybe the cal slides have a rust build up, or the rattle clips are binding. Anyone use the chrysler value line pads? The parts guy was trying to convince me to save a hundred bucks, saying they have no problems...
