Rack hardware is almost always either #10-32 (#10 NF)

#10 hardware you can get from a decent hardware store, though they
usually are round head, which suck, and often fall through the oval
holes in panels.
#12 screws are just hard to find, it's an odd size.
Hint: In the US, try Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) for screws rather than
Home Depot or Lowes. OSH has a much wider supply of screws, bolts and
nuts.
