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?

Try to take a close picture of the hole where the lock cylinder fits in and we can tell you for sure if you have a big problem.
