Amazon is great at getting them quick when you can't find them locally.

The threads have blue locktite from the factory, so they will be difficult to break loose. If you plan on replacing the door lock assembly, you can just drill out the heads off the screws since they thread only into the door lock assembly. Replacement mechanism does not come with new screws, just fyi.
I've come to realize this. It's not the first time I've had to purchase new tools from there. Of course I'm not patient and would prefer going to the local Home Depot and getting them if I can.

The set I posted is from VIM tools; they are the private label manufacturer for brands like Mac Tools, Snap On/Blue Point, and Matco. You're saving a good chunk of change buying it directly from them rather than off the tool truck. You can find more tool truck brands here.

I bought my triple square set at Advance auto. I'm sure most of the chain parts stores have them.
