There is hardwood floor underneath. It seems like if the floor is sinking. My bigest problem is that I do not know how to repair this area that goes from a straight to about 1 1/2in deep at the wall.
This area is about 2 feet wide by 6 feet long.

It's not an exterior wall. (It worked fine on the exterior wall.) It is humid here now, if that has anything to do with it. The wall we're having trouble with is comprised of plaster over concrete.

The little bubble-holes are visible from about 2 feet away, but no farther, so they are quite small.

These type of locks are round , have a flat key cylinder on one side of the door and on the other side a round face with two screws and a lever which is turned by hand.
The bolt itself pops out from the side of the door into the bolthole in the architrave by just over an inch which means excellent security for internal doors.
Popular makes in the US include SCHLAGE, KWIKSET and MOUNTAIN SECURITY.
