11 5/16 inch (287.3 mm) drill-center pulls for appliance and large drawer panels
11 5/16 inch (287.3 mm) drill-center pulls are an imperial conversion close to the 288 mm metric standard. The 287.3 mm spacing sits just below the 12 inch (304.8 mm) appliance pull threshold and lives in the wide drawer and small appliance panel range. The pull at this length carries visible architectural weight on the cabinet face. The size shows up most often on custom kitchen specs from European-influenced design houses.
Where this size fits
Wide pot-and-pan drawers in custom kitchens. Small panel-ready appliance fronts. Tall pantry and broom-closet doors that want a longer single pull. Some European-built kitchens use the related metric spec on lower drawer banks where the pull aligns with the bottom row of stacked drawers. The size is most useful on bespoke installations rather than stock-cabinet replacement projects.
What hardware looks like at this length
Bar pulls in round, squared, and flat profiles. Architectural T-pulls. Strap pulls in heavier construction. The catalog is small at this exact spacing because most manufacturers default to either the 192 mm step below or the 12 inch step above. Pulls listed at 11 5/16 inch typically come from brands that produce a continuous size range. Finishes follow the modern pattern, with matte black, satin brass, and brushed nickel the deepest.
Adjacent sizes worth comparing
The closest metric neighbor is 11 11/32 inch (288.1 mm). Below is 8 13/16 inch (223.8 mm). Above is 12 inch (304.8 mm). Cross-spec compatibility with the 288 mm metric listing covers most installations at this dimension. Confirm against the original hardware documentation when matching pulls on a specific European-built kitchen run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an 11 5/16 inch (287.3 mm) pull be used interchangeably with hardware listed at 288 mm?
Cross-spec compatibility with the 288 mm metric listing covers most installations at this dimension. However, on a specific European-built kitchen run where exact spacing matters, verify the measurement against the original hardware documentation before ordering replacements.
How do you measure for an 11 5/16 inch (287.3 mm) drill-center pull?
Drill-center measurement is the distance between the center points of the two screw holes, not the overall length of the pull body. To check an existing installation, measure from the center of one hole to the center of the other; a reading of approximately 287–288 mm indicates this spec. Confirm against the original hardware documentation when an exact match is required.
What cabinet or drawer types suit an 11 5/16 inch (287.3 mm) center-to-center pull?
This size suits wide pot-and-pan drawers in custom kitchens, small panel-ready appliance fronts, and tall pantry or broom-closet doors that benefit from a longer single pull. It appears most often on bespoke or custom installations rather than stock-cabinet replacement projects, where standard metric or imperial increments are more common.
How does the 11 5/16 inch (287.3 mm) drill center compare to the 12 inch (304.8 mm) size above it?
The 12 inch (304.8 mm) center spacing is 17.5 mm larger and marks the threshold for full appliance-pull sizing. The 11 5/16 inch spec sits just below that threshold, placing it in the wide drawer and small appliance panel range rather than the dedicated appliance-pull category. Catalog depth is shallower at 11 5/16 inch because most manufacturers default to either a smaller metric step or jump directly to the 12 inch increment.
