The only place I've ever seen 12-24 are the screws that HP ships with their switches. I don't have a single rack anywhere that can take them.
Even my racks that have no threaded holes, came with cage nuts that take a 10-32 screw. Maybe they do things different in Canada.
I like using the 10-32 screws that Dell supplies with their servers. They have a large flat head and the threads are of good quality.

kudos:7 | Our wall-mount racks (wiring closet) are 12-24. Our pre-drilled "shit" rack (odd sized in every direction) is 10-32. 98% of my cage nuts are 10-32 (because that's what I bought), and the other 2% are 12-24... for the "really heavy" stuff. |
