Along these lines, it is usually a good idea to install a screw/bolt 
in the top of the frame to prevent the door from being lifted when 
it's closed.  Install the screw/bolt near the closed side and/or 
middle of the frame so that it sticks down an barely clears the 
door.  Then the "bad guy" can't just lift the door to remove it.  
You, on the other hand, can unlock the door, move it to the side 
so that it clears the screw/bolt and lift it out.

I've also replaced the wheels on the bottom of my door at a couple 
of houses.  It's really pretty simple, and the universal parts at 
the Home Depot style store have worked just fine.  The hardest 
part is flipping the door on it's side without knocking something 
over...
