Loads of ways, I'm assuming its functioning and noone is going to nick it, . Are you up for buying a (brass) door kick plate and cutting filing to size with a small amount of filler to smooth the fit.. they don't normally need much tension just enough to stop them falling off
-
Bodging way would be something like fixing plates fixed vertically to hold the bolts, screwed in to the back of the door....
Or the fancy way would be a letterbox cover/plate, but that would need careful measuring and potentially drilling of new correctly spaced holes.

A letter box cowl/security hood would hide a multitude of sins and also prevent ne'er do wells from easily reaching any latches with pokey devices.

Aaagh. Help me fix this. We bought a new letter hole front door plate thing. It was a little bigger than the last so I chivvied a few cm off either side of the door hole. But the new plate didn’t come with anything to secure the rear. I feel like it needs a rear plate or bracket to screw the front to? What shall I do?
