Take your faceplate with you into a hardware store. I use 2 different
lengths of self tapping metal screws . Avoid drywall screws as they tend
to
be a bit on the brittle side.

============================
Avoid using the traditional wood screws, the tapered type. They don't give
you enough pull-out strength. There are several designs of screws that have
a uniform diameter over their entire length (think sheet metal screws),
giving more resistance to pulling out. Some have extra deep threads that
give maximum strength. They are your best choice. Many of the woodworking
catalogs have descriptions of the different choices.
