Does this scene look familiar?
It's a sure sign something is seriously wrong with the locking mechanism and you definitely should not try locking it into the frame, it will likely never open easily again.
This kind of problem is often caused by poor door alignment, where the user is having to force lock the door. It eventually chews up the cast parts inside and destroys the lock.
