• LOCK-IN PERIOD
  
  A specified number of days before loan closing during which the range of rates available to a borrower is protected from financial market fluctuations in interest rates. Locking does not guarantee what specific rate will apply at closing, as that depends on specific transaction characteristics and the borrower's credit profile.
