I was just found out Kwikset had a major price increase, and is having the same hard time getting chips as everyone else.

Their cost for chips has gone from $.60 each to $6, and their shipping costs have quadrupled. Not to mention that the cost of the precious metals like gold, platinum, and copper are also skyrocketing.

This was just Kwikset, but it's obviously industry wide. I don't do prewires, but I just bought a bunch of wire to hopefully last me about 6 months. Disty just had a price increase, and said there will probably be another one soon.
