Were to souce a screw for a GE cage

I have a GE 95X539 fan I am almost done with. When I bought it it was missing one of the screws that holds the cage on. Its a non standard screw in that its more like a self tapping then a machine screw. Would Lowes have something that would work?

Probably, look at the sheet metal screw selection.

Old radios used those type screws to fasten the chassis to the cabinet.

The threads are a lot like a self tapping wood screw. I bought a 10 size 1.25 inch wood screw and kept grinding down the outside till it matched close the one I needed. I was only missing one so I put it on the bottom where you can not see it easy as its not a perfect match. Its slotted and I will paint it brass to make it blend in even more. but it went it a little stiff but not too bad.
