6 1/4'' (158.8 mm)

6 1/4 inch (158.8 mm) drill-center pulls for wide drawer fronts

6 1/4 inch (158.8 mm) drill-center pulls cover a wide drawer pull spacing close to the European 160 mm spec but listed at the imperial 6 1/4 inch dimension by certain manufacturers. The 158.8 mm spacing fits drawer fronts roughly 24 to 32 inches wide. It's functionally interchangeable with the 6 5/16 inch (160.3 mm) listing in most installations. The dual-listing reflects different manufacturer measurement conventions on what is essentially the same physical drilling.

Where this size fits

Wide pot-and-pan drawers. Lower drawers in stacked drawer banks on island runs. Tall narrow doors on pantry and broom-closet cabinets. Some bath vanity drawers in primary baths. The size is squarely in the wide-drawer category where the pull becomes a defined visual element on the cabinet face. Custom kitchens with mixed metric-imperial cabinet construction often see this size on the larger drawers below 5 inch (127 mm) uppers.

Style range at this length

Bar pulls in round and squared profiles. Flat strap pulls. T-pulls. The catalog leans modern across the board; traditional cup pulls and decorative period hardware are essentially absent at this length. Pulls offered at 6 1/4 inch are most often part of a continuous size range from a single manufacturer. Finishes follow the modern catalog pattern: matte black, satin brass, brushed nickel, and aged bronze carry the deepest selection.

Adjacent sizes worth comparing

The closest neighbor is 6 5/16 inch (160.3 mm), the European 160 mm equivalent. Below is 6 inch (152.4 mm). Above is 6 1/2 inch (165.1 mm). Cross-spec compatibility with the 160 mm metric listing means most installations can be matched from either page. Confirming against the original drilling on the cabinet settles the choice for replacement projects.
