epends on what faceplate it is, but they are generally standard metric threaded allen bolts. You should be able to find these at almost any hardware store; if your immediate local hardware store doesn't have them, try another.
5nM is approximately 45 in/lbs (inch pounds) or 3 ft/lb (foot pounds), very little.
