Raising rates on Medeco installs, but clients flipping out

I've been charging $175 for a standard Medeco deadbolt rekey and install, but with supply costs up 20% this year, I'm bumping to $225. Clients are acting like I just told em the world is ending, especially the commercial ones who want master key systems. Saw a post in the Locksmith Professionals Facebook group where a guy dealt with the same BS.

Bump it to $250, Medeco ain't cheap and your time picking pins is worth it.
