Doors – Mend steel door after break-in attempt

damagedoorssteel

We had a failed break in attempt into a storage room with a quite thick steel door. See images. The lock itself if not damaged and mechanically sound, so even though it looks pretty bad, it's still just a cosmetic damage.

What would be a viable way to make it look less bad at the very least?

I'd probably bang and trim things back into position and then install a latch wrap (link for reference only) with some stainless sheet metal screws. This will reinforce it and conceal the damaged area.
