If you do this: For the new lock (deadbolt) hole I'm thinking of making a template out of 1/2" scrap wood, hole-saw a 2 1/8 hole, center it over the 1 3/4" hole, clamp then drill it out to enlarge the hole.
Put a piece of scrap on back side of door as well draw center lines with a square.
What Porwolf said is a good idea too. They sell reinforced strike plates or what I did is made my own,remove trim and made one of 90 degree steel also use longer screws that penetrate the studs.
