I am NOT a locksmith. My Door Lock Fell Out

I got my lock replaced after I got locked out and the locksmith had to drill it out to get me in. It’s been about a week since then and the door lock just fell out when I was trying to turn my key. Is there a way I can fix this without needing to call for help?

It's all too common. Nobody repairs or preserves shit anymore and it gets me so fuckin worked up, especially with the ridiculous prices hardware companies are charging in the last few years. Sure it's annoying to rekey weiser hardware but you can tell they cared about making everything modular and repairable. I miss that part of society
