Cracks and splits around a lock, latch or strike area can affect security and closing, not only appearance.

Split timber or damaged lock area
Why this area matters
The lock edge is locally weakened by cut-outs and hardware. Impact, forced entry, overtightened fixings or movement can cause splitting around the mortice or latch.
Leaf and frame both need checking
Damage may be in the door edge, the frame strike area, or both. Repair is only sensible when fixings can be restored securely and alignment is still achievable.
Replacement can be cleaner
Severe splitting, missing material or repeated failures can make a replacement leaf or door set more sensible than repeated patching.
