Hello all!
I am an extremely inexperienced young man who has no talent or knowledge at all with home repair.
One thing however that I need to do in the next week or two is repair a doorknob from my bedroom door that has fell out and off the face of the Earth.
I want to, rather I NEED to, replace this doorknob and with a lock from the outside (so that I can lock my room when I leave with a key). Some things however confuse me.
For one: look at the doorknob area itself-the previous doorknob only needed a one by four inch slit to fit through, and not the whole door knob circumfrence to fit in, as you can see by the imprint of the previous doorknob in these pictures.
What I would like to know is:
-Is it possible to find a doorknob with a lock on the outside that could work on this door?
-How much would it cost and what should I buy (where as well)?
-Any good online explanations of how to do it (it seems simple enough though)?
Here are some pictures:

(Ignore the junk foot back there...)
I'd love if anybody could help. Thanks!
