About 6-1/4" pulls

Getting the Most From a 160 mm Pull

The 6-1/4" pull is the in-between size that solves a common sizing problem. A 5" pull can look a little short on an 18" drawer, and a 7-1/2" pull can look long on a 15" one. At 160 mm, five steps of the 32 mm system or 6.30", this length matches the 1/3 rule on drawers about 18" to 21" wide, the width of many base cabinet drawer stacks.

It also gives doors a longer, more vertical line than the usual 3-3/4" or 5" pull, which suits wall cabinets that run to the ceiling and the doors on a 36" sink base. Most designs here are modern or transitional, so expect clean bars and softly rounded shapes. Brushed nickel leads the finish list, followed by oil-rubbed bronze, antique nickel, chrome, matte black and champagne bronze.

6-1/4" versus 6": check before you order

These two sizes are easy to confuse and do not share holes. 6" is 152 mm, while 6-1/4" is 160 mm, a gap of about 5/16". Remove one existing pull and measure center to center in millimeters. If it reads 160, everything on this page fits. If it reads 152, look for a 6" pull instead or plan on drilling new holes.

Where 6-1/4" pulls work in the kitchen

Use them on 18" and 21" base drawers, on the drawer stack beside the range, and vertically on full-height wall doors where a shorter pull would look lost. In a kitchen that mixes sizes, 6-1/4" on the drawers pairs well with 3-3/4" on the doors in the same design. For 24" and wider drawers, 7-1/2" or 10" are better proportioned.

Colors and finishes at this length

Longer pulls show more metal, so the finish reads stronger. On gray Fabuwood cabinets like Galaxy Nickel and Galaxy Cobblestone, brushed nickel and chrome give a soft, tone-on-tone look, while matte black draws a sharper outline on the same doors. On cream Galaxy Linen, champagne bronze and satin brass add warmth without looking heavy, and antique nickel suits a farmhouse kitchen.

Installing 160 mm pulls

Mark the center of the drawer front, then measure 80 mm to each side for the two holes. A hardware jig speeds this up across a full kitchen and keeps every pull at the same height. Drill with a 3/16" bit, holding the drill square to the face so the pull sits flat, and fasten from the inside with the screws that come with each pull.

6-1/4 Inch Cabinet Pull FAQ

Is 6-1/4" the same as 160 mm?

Yes. 160 mm converts to 6.30", and pulls in this size are sold under either label. The metric number is the true spacing, because hole patterns follow the 32 mm system used in cabinet hardware, which also gives us 96, 128, 192 and 256 mm.

What drawer width needs a 6-1/4" pull?

Drawers about 18" to 21" wide, by the 1/3 rule. It also works on a 24" drawer if you want a lighter look than 7-1/2". On a 15" drawer, the shorter 5" pull is usually better proportioned.

How long is a 6-1/4" pull overall?

Most run roughly 6-3/4" to 8" end to end, depending on how far the ends extend past the screws. Check the overall length in the product details when the pull sits close to a door edge or a glass panel.

Can I mix 6-1/4" pulls with knobs?

Yes. A popular layout uses knobs on the doors and 6-1/4" pulls on every drawer. Choose the knob and pull in the same finish, and ideally from the same design family, so the two read as a set.
