Drop Lock

An arrangement whereby the interest rate on a floating rate note or preferred stock becomes fixed if it falls to a specified level.

Investopedia Commentary

If a country had a floating exchange rate and a currency that suddenly dropped, the drop lock would fix the exchange rate once it hit a certain level.
