Since your landlord will be replacing the lock/door anyway maybe you can make sure he improves the quality of the lock/door/frame while he's at it? I've heard those chain locks like you see in motels can be pretty effective and they also sell various kinds of door wedges etc that can make kicking down a door a lot more difficult. Don't forget the windows. You should also consider a better door/lock on your bedroom as well as a second line of defense because as scary as your situation was, waking up to a bugler in your bedroom would be even worse.

BTW How did the GF react?
