If you can only get one screw in per side, the bottom of the front panel
(or near it) is indeed the correct place to put them. I've had several
arguments with those who can't understand why.

I'd wonder if an explanation of why might be wasted on those people...

Tell 'em to try the screws on top instead ;-)

An engineer is supposed to have an inquisitive mind and question
unproven theories. Leftist weenies have neither attribute. Their
behavior is of a religious nature. Thus, like all religious nut-
cases, they should be culled from the fraternity and dispatched.

The bottom screw holds the front plate in place, and the weight
of the device holds the top against the rack. If you screw it in
from the top, then the weight will draw the bottom away from the
rack.

I'd have thought it was obvious why.

Speaking of leverage, here's the way I got around lifting a particularly
heavy piece of equipment and holding it up against rack rails while
someone else screwed it down:
