One of my zerk fittings on my used DK loader wouldn't take grease the first time. I removed the fitting and dug out a plug of hard stuff. Before reinstalling I rut the fitting in the grease gun coupler and verified it would pass grease. All worked well after that.
Also, some fittings om my mower seemed to be slightly smaller such that it took many tries to get a standard grease coupler to seal (and mucho grease escaped, very messy). The Lock-n-lube worked 100% on those so far with no escaping grease.

I have the Lock-n-Lube, I lift front wheels off the ground and I still can't get grease into the front axle center pivot. Dealer doesn't seem concerned, says they rarely are able to get any grease in there. I guess I will try pulling the fittings to see if they are clear or not.

Your dealer is box of rocks simple. Replace the stuck zerk and pump grease in.
I wouldn't trust them to service a pedal car.
That's about like..."We can hardly ever get the front tires to take air, so we just send them out half flat."

I had a hard time getting my axle fittings to take grease, my air powered grease gun wouldn't do it. In the end I found taking the zerk off and then putting it back on making sure it wasn't over tightened (just tight enough that grease doesn't come out from the threads of the zerk.) and then using a hand pump grease gun allowed me to finally get grease into the axle. I read numerous people saying they struggle to get grease into the axle. Keep at it you'll get it eventually. I also used the loader to lift the front end but in the end I found that didn't seem to make much if any difference, aside from making it easier to get to the fittings!
Btw my hand grease gun is nothing special, just a cheapo unit from TSC.

I received the locknlube fitting, works great. Does just what it supposed to. I tried the axle pivot fittings. I was able to pump the gun with the no grease spilling. The locknlube held tight. I don't know if it took any grease. I pumped about 5 strokes, really had lots of pressure. I thought the hose would burst. I tried loading and unloading the joint with the loader raising the front of the machine. No difference.

If the lever on the gun moved, then the zerk took grease. You just need a couple of pumps on those zerks each 50 hours
