Steve,

I don't own an S3, but what makes these screws special? From your photo, they look pretty ordinary.

You have circled three screw positions, upper and lower fix the lock plate to the door frame, the centre screw shown is the locating/holding pin on which the ratchet pawl runs and is special but part of the lock.
