Hi. I would have no problem with this one as I have many hundreds of screws of all types and sizes. I have saved every screw I've ever come across and never throw any away. If the fixing screws just screw into a plastic hole on the door lock, then any appropriately sized self-tapping screws should work. If they screw into metal nuts, then you need small bolt-type screws with a normal thread.

There's no type or size available. If you can't find any, you could try a spares site such as Spares4Appliances though I don't think many screws are stocked by appliance spares companies because it's exceptionally rare that any are needed. Only the manufacturer is likely to have them, and even then I wouldn't be remotely surprised if they didn't.
