10 1/16 inch (255.6 mm) drill-center pulls for appliance and large drawer panels
10 1/16 inch (255.6 mm) drill-center pulls are the imperial conversion of the 256 mm metric appliance spec used by some European manufacturers. The size is essentially interchangeable with the imperial 10 inch (254 mm) standard in practice. Manufacturers list one or the other depending on their measurement convention. The 256 mm spec is most common on Miele, Bosch, and Gaggenau panel-ready appliances.
Where this size fits
Panel-ready dishwashers, microwave drawers, and beverage centers from European-design appliance brands. Tall single-door pantries on metric-built cabinet runs. The size also turns up on the lower drawers of stacked drawer banks in higher-end custom kitchens that use metric construction throughout. Some bath vanity drawers in European-spec primary baths land here as well.
Style at this length
Bar pulls and T-pulls dominate. Architectural strap pulls and minimalist profiles. The look is universally modern; traditional pulls at this length are rare. The pull functions as a horizontal accent across a wide panel and carries real visual weight on a kitchen run. Solid-bar construction is standard, and the finish catalog leans toward modern metals: brushed stainless, matte black, satin brass, and brushed nickel are the deepest categories.
Adjacent sizes worth comparing
The imperial twin is 10 inch (254 mm). Below, see 9 inch (228.6 mm). Above, 12 inch (304.8 mm) is the next common step. Replacement projects on European-spec'd appliances should default to this listing first if the original hardware came with the appliance. Some American replacement pulls list only at 10 inch (254 mm) and won't match the original holes precisely. Custom kitchens with full metric construction sometimes hold this spacing across upper cabinets and appliance fronts both, giving the run a consistent horizontal axis. The visual result reads as a coordinated specification rather than two separate hardware choices.
