>> Budget lock????  All right.  I confess, I put the rear tire well lid on with pretty new toilet seat escutcheons about 13 years ago and haven't opened it since.  Now I can't remember the fastener used.  Looks like a duzi.  Used a long-handled flathead, and found it's a simple lever.  Guess that's why it's a budget lock.
