17 5/8'' (447.7 mm)

17 5/8 inch (447.7 mm) drill-center pulls for appliance and tall door panels

17 5/8 inch (447.7 mm) drill-center pulls fall just below the 18 inch (457.2 mm) appliance pull standard. The 447.7 mm spacing is the imperial conversion of a metric spec close to 448 mm and appears in specific appliance and custom-cabinet specifications, particularly on column refrigeration and tall pantry doors in European-built kitchens. The size is non-standard enough that most installations come from a documented appliance spec rather than retail selection.

Where this size fits

Column refrigerator and freezer panels from certain European brands. Tall single-door pantries in custom kitchens. Some specialty appliance applications, including built-in wine columns and dual-zone refrigeration. The size sits at a proportion that some designers prefer when the standard 16 inch or 18 inch options feel slightly off against a particular panel face. Custom millwork projects with specific aesthetic targets sometimes spec this length.

What hardware looks like here

Heavy solid-bar pulls and architectural T-pulls. Reinforced through-bolt mounting. The catalog is small because the spacing sits outside the major standards, but most appliance pull families that produce a continuous metric range include this length. Construction is engineered for the loads a panel-ready appliance places on the mounting points. The leverage at this length makes solid construction effectively mandatory.

Adjacent sizes worth comparing

Below is 16 inch (406.4 mm). Above is 18 inch (457.2 mm). For the dedicated category, see appliance pulls. Replacement-matching at this exact dimension should default to the original appliance documentation rather than a tape measurement, since the 5/8-inch difference from the 18 inch standard is easy to lose at this scale. Shopping at this exact dimension usually means matching an installed European-brand appliance panel that came with this hardware spec from the factory. Replacement-only retail traffic here is small compared to the standard 16 inch and 18 inch listings.
