6 5/16'' (160.3 mm)

6 5/16 inch (160.3 mm) drill-center pulls: the European 160 mm standard

6 5/16 inch (160.3 mm) drill-center pulls are the European 160 mm spec listed under its imperial conversion. The spacing is the next step up from 128 mm in the metric system used across European frameless cabinetry, and it shows up on the wider drawers of modern Italian, German, and Scandinavian kitchens. Drawer fronts of roughly 26 to 34 inches wide use this size. It's particularly common on pot-and-pan drawer banks in newer high-end builds.

Where 160 mm fits in a kitchen

Look for this spacing on wide base-cabinet drawers and on the lower pots-and-pans drawers of stacked cabinet runs. It also appears on tall door fronts where a longer pull keeps the proportion honest. Many flat-front modern kitchens use 160 mm on the lower drawers and 128 mm on the uppers, giving the run a visual rhythm. The size also appears on European-built bath vanity drawers in oversized primary bathrooms.

What hardware looks like at 160 mm

Bar pulls and T-pulls carry most of the catalog, with squared and architectural profiles particularly common. Strap pulls and minimalist edge pulls also produce this length. The size is long enough that the bar profile reads as a horizontal element on the cabinet face, not just a handle. European brands like Hafele, Berenson, and Sietto all maintain strong 160 mm lineups, and the catalog spans the full finish range from polished chrome through matte black.

Adjacent sizes worth comparing

For a smaller step, see 5 1/16 inch (128.6 mm), the European 128 mm equivalent. For the next step up, 7 7/16 inch (188.9 mm) covers the widest drawer fronts. The size is widely available in polished nickel for kitchens that lean classic-modern.
