Refi, rates, locks, etc
Is there a penalty for locking in a rate and then not using that lender for a refi loan?
Info appreciated.

The penality is that you have to pay a lock fee (sometimes refundable if you close) and a credit inquiry shows up on your credit report, which potentially lowers your credit score the next time someone (esp. the new lender you approach) does a credit check.
