had to break down a door, how to repair splintered wood around lock area?

[mxyplizk]

I had to break down a door, and a long piece of the door frame around the lock area almost completely splintered off, as well as the part of the lock attached to the door came off (however, it seems to be reattachable--it was held in place by two screws, and I can fit the screws back into the holes in which they were. They are along the line where it started to splinter. When I try to push the piece of wood back into place, it juts out a little, probably due to errant splinters of wood in the area where it splintered off that are now sticking out and preventing it from lying flush. Should I sand this down? Would I then just glue the screws of the lock back into place, and what should I use to reattach the piece of wood? Thanks for any and all help.

the door casing would NEVER have the integrity as it would before being broken. I would replace the whole casing.

Yep....gotta agree, no matter how much glue you add that door will never lock securely (even if you can get it to close and latch). Look how easy it was for you to break down......now times that by 10 for any future break in efforts.
