7 9/16'' (192.1 mm) Cabinet Pulls: The European 192 mm Drill-Center Spec
Where 192 mm Fits and How to Measure It
Drill center is the distance between the centers of the two mounting screw holes, measured center-to-center rather than across the full length of the pull. To confirm an existing handle, measure from the middle of one screw hole to the middle of the other; 192 mm cabinet pulls read as 7 9/16 inch under the imperial conversion (192 / 25.4 = 7.559 in). The 192 mm spacing is the metric standard for wide drawer fronts in frameless cabinetry, pairing naturally with the 128 mm and 160 mm centers used on the smaller drawers of the same kitchen. Drawer fronts in the 30 to 38 inch range are the most common application, with pot drawers in island banks and the lower rows of stacked drawer banks defaulting to this size. Full-height pantry doors in European frameless layouts also take it regularly.
Style Range and Adjacent Sizes
At this length, bar pulls in round and squared cross-sections dominate, alongside flat strap pulls and minimalist architectural profiles. The span is long enough to span much of a wide drawer front and still read proportionate, which is why a single pull family is often held from 128 mm uppers through 192 mm lowers. Construction quality matters more here: the longer the pull, the more any flex or surface defect shows against a polished cabinet face. North American brands with metric lines — Sietto, Berenson, and Hafele — all carry 192 mm as a standard offering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 7 9/16 inch in millimeters for a drawer pull?
A 7 9/16 inch drill-center pull measures 192.1 mm between hole centers, and it corresponds to the European 192 mm spec listed under its imperial conversion. The 192 mm spacing is the metric standard for wide drawer fronts in frameless cabinetry. It is listed under the imperial 7 9/16 inch label so shoppers working in inches can find the same hole spacing.
How do I measure whether my drawer takes a 192 mm (7 9/16 inch) pull?
Measure from the center of one mounting screw hole to the center of the other; that center-to-center distance is the drill-center spec. If your existing holes are 192.1 mm (7 9/16 inch) apart, a 192 mm pull will line up without redrilling. This size is most commonly applied to drawer fronts in the 30 to 38 inch range, such as pot drawers in island banks and the lower rows of stacked drawer banks.
What drawer widths and cabinet styles suit a 192 mm (7 9/16 inch) pull?
192 mm pulls are used most often on drawer fronts in the 30 to 38 inch range, including wide pot drawers, full-height pantry doors, and the lower rows of stacked drawer banks in European frameless kitchens. The length spans about half a wide drawer front while still reading proportionate. Because of this, designers often carry the same pull family from 128 mm uppers through 192 mm lowers.
How does 192 mm (7 9/16 inch) compare to 188.9 mm (7 7/16 inch) and the adjacent sizes?
The American imperial twin of 192 mm is 7 7/16 inch (188.9 mm), and the two are often interchangeable in practice because the hole spacing differs by only a few millimeters. For narrower drawers, drop down to 6 5/16 inch (160.3 mm); for wider fronts, step up to 8 13/16 inch (223.8 mm). Both 128 mm and 160 mm centers are commonly used on the same kitchen's smaller drawers alongside 192 mm on the larger ones.
