Is this possible? My door and the door trim are not flush. The trim extends maybe 1/4 in. past the door. Can I install a door buckle lock? They are more secure than a chain lock, so I'd rather have the buckle lock.
I'm wondering if there's a way to attach something to the door/trim to make it flush, so I can install the lock.

A residential door is usually always flush with the door jamb and sheetrock or plaster so the surface of the trim/casing extends out further than the surface of the door.
The buckle lock is typical for a hotel or commercial building where the door is flush with a hollow metal door jamb.
Rather than modifying/butchering the wood casing, I would opt for a different type of device to provide added security to your door if desired.
