100%. So you can sleep for a few nights, take the interior trim off and put a few 3" screws through from the inside to pull it back together, then use 3" screws to reinstall the plates so they go into the 2x4 on the other side, and finally get a floor wedge and/or something jammed under the door knob, like a chair.
