The present invention relates generally to drawers used in cabinets or other enclosures, and more specifically to a means for adjustably mounting the face plate of a drawer so that when the drawer is closed, the drawer face plate is flush with the adjacent drawer face plate and in a desired height, pitch, roll, lateral and skew position with respect to the front surface of the enclosure. The drawer face panel can be easily adjusted in an inward and outward direction, or a rearward and frontward direction, to compensate for differing degrees of tilt and skew of the drawer face panel with adjacent drawer face panels. A face plate alignment mounting system is provided and includes a lateral adjustment means that engages a face plate and a drawer front panel, a first nut fastener, and an adjustable fastener. The first nut fastener preferably includes a head portion that is affixed to a drawer body and a shaft slidably engaged with a first bore of the drawer body. The first nut fastener shaft defines an opening with internal threads. The adjustable fastener has external threads engaged with the internal threads of the first nut fastener shaft opening. The adjustable fastener includes a first means for adjusting the adjustable fastener in a frontward direction and a rearward direction to suitably adjust the distance between the face plate and said drawer front panel, which is preferably accessible at the rear surface of the drawer front panel.
