Narrative:

Shortly after takeoff (approximately 2 minutes) the flight attendant called. Captain was in discussion with flight attendant over some type door issue. No door lights on overhead panel. I as pilot flying continued flying and talking to ATC as appropriate. Captain informed me he needed to call maintenance over the issue. As we started to climb above 10;000 ft (it was late night and ATC gave us clearance to climb almost immediately); the cabin altitude warning horn sounded. I descended/ leveled at 10;000 ft (we were barely above it). Captain ran QRH checklist; as well as all other appropriate checklists; coordinate with company; flight attendant; made a PA; [and] declared emergency. We returned to [our departure airport] for an uneventful (though overweight) landing.
