The lock expire and start over?

Which is why most banks just give you the lower rate

I want that, but there are so many people refi'ing right now they don't have to

Depends. Some require that 120 days have passed before they'll allow you to float down and re-lock.

They literally lose money whenever a loan is locked and not closed (futures contracts). So you can't just be willy-nilly
