6 1/2 inch (165.1 mm) drill-center pulls for wide drawers and tall doors
6 1/2 inch (165.1 mm) drill-center pulls are an intermediate wide-drawer spacing between the European 160 mm and the next size up at around 7 inch. The 165.1 mm spec is less standardized than its neighbors. It appears in certain manufacturer lines, often as the deliberate length for a specific door or drawer proportion. The size is a niche pick rather than a mainstream standard.
Where this size fits
Wide drawer fronts in the 26 to 34 inch range. Tall pantry doors. Some custom kitchen designs where the pull length was chosen to match a specific cabinet face proportion rather than a standard catalog spacing. Built-in office furniture with wide file drawers. Specifiers occasionally use this size on the lower drawers of stacked banks where the design wanted slightly more pull length than 160 mm but didn't want to jump to 7 inch.
What hardware looks like here
Bar pulls and T-pulls in modern profiles. Flat strap pulls and architectural minimalist designs. The catalog is small compared to the 6 inch and 7 inch standards but covers most of the major modern pull shapes. The pulls offered here usually come from manufacturers that produce a continuous metric or imperial size range and let designers specify to the exact dimension. Modern finishes lead the catalog, with matte black, brushed nickel, and aged bronze the most-stocked.
Adjacent sizes worth comparing
Below is 6 5/16 inch (160.3 mm). Above is 6 3/4 inch (171.4 mm) or 7 inch (177.8 mm). Confirming the exact spacing against existing hardware before ordering matters at this dimension, since 6 1/2 inch is easy to confuse with the 160 mm and 7 inch neighbors from a quick visual reading.
