There’s no fee- I did it for all three last week- and I highly recommend calling vs online- you don’t have to create an account, and phone call is all automated so it’s quick no waiting to talk to someone.
iirc, there are a couple of similar options there - one has a fee the other does not. I think one is a lock, one is a freeze(?) A couple of them try to put the paid options in front of you first, but they are all free to freeze. I just did this within the last six months.
I just froze all of mine the other day for free. The original poster used the word "lock" but LOCKING your credit is something different and other people are saying it requires a fee. FREEZING your credit should be 100% free! You just need to make an account at each of the 3 credit bureaus.
