Monday, 8/4/08: SUCCESS at last!
I bought a new doorknob and deadbolt, and the guy at Home Depot assured me that the installation was easy as pie. Sure, you can do it yourself! No problem! Riiiight. Well, Gen did do it herself (while I taped off more of the living room), but it was not no problem. It was a lot of problem! She installed everything, and then couldn't get the knob to latch. Finally, after some time and a bit of creative finagling, it all worked.
The door and jamb still probably need to be replaced at some point, since it kind of looks like the door was once kicked in and repaired, but it'll do for now.
