Yes, there are some points to notice.
Firstly, do not use your average self-cutting screws. Most of them are made by pressing the material into a shape, and neither that nor the material itself will provide any protection against shearing forces (which is mostly what you get when mounting on a faceplate).
I'd advise you seriously to go and buy some proper steel screws, they will hold against these forces.
Secondly, use the biggest heads you can fit into your face plate. There will be forces at work when the screws get tightened, and smaller heads will either give way or you'll wear out the slots/pozi drives. Again, steel screws will hold out a lot longer.
I think the best solution would be steel hex bolts, i.e. with a hexagonal flat head and washers underneath.
