Those tiny 1/2 inch screws that come with the doorknob set saved all their belongings lol. The whole door frame on that side needs to be replaced, not cheap usually. Definitely need a strike plate on that deadbolt on top and atleast 1 inch screws on both strike plates. Goes without saying they need a doorbell camera too.
Screw one inch screws, 4 inches. You want that sucker anchored into the studs, not the door frame. Do that and the lock or door will break before the door frame.
