There is an inherent problem with ammonia "locking" type products
The additive essentially "locks" the ammonia into the filter media, it doesn't neutralise it per se and in locking it into the media, it then prevents the good bacteria needed to keep ammonia and other contaminants under control actually dealing with that ammonia and thus growing in numbers to prevent spikes in the future
Ammo Lock et al are purely gimmickery designed to make you part with your money.
As has been said already, water changes are far healthier for your fish and all other living beings, including the necessary good bacteria.
