OK, I've decided to get a different type of lock now, but I'll bear that
in mind. I did notice somebody mention cheap tools in the Amazon
reviews for rivnuts, but said that they got better results by screwing
a bolt through, then holding the bolt in place with one spanner while
using another to tighten a nut down onto a couple of washers on the
rivnut.

The snag is you have to prevent the rivnut from turning - at least until
it gets a grip. Really with the Silverline tool costing about 20 quid and
with all the adaptors needed for the common sizes it's hardly worth the
bother.
