Lock period

The number of days during which a quoted rate is guaranteed to the borrower, in exchange for a price hit on shorter or longer locks.

Common lock periods: 15, 30, 45, 60 days. Longer locks typically carry a worse base price (the investor takes pipeline risk for longer). Free extensions and grace windows are configured per-org in the lock-desk policy.
