How do I change this mailbox lock?

Complete newbie question, please dont be too harsh lol

I need to change this mailbox lock. I was able to force the old lock out with a screwdriver (probably not best method but well..its out) and need to replace with an identical lock.

The screws dont have any heads, it looks like maybe a rivet based on my Google-FU. Right now, there are only those two screws left and I was not able to wiggle the new lock onto them. How do i do this?

Use a drill with a 3/16 drill bit and drill out the rivets from the front side.
