    If I "lock" an interest rate today from a mortgage company, what happens if the rate goes down before closing? Am I screwed?

    Unfortunately, I think so.

    Locking it in does just that -- locks you at that rate and it cannot be changed, for better or worse.

    Not as bad as not locking and the rate goes up.
