Thanks for the question!
The 3-1/4 inch measurement refers to the inside fitter opening, which is designed to accept a 3-1/4 inch fitter glass shade.
The 3.625 inch measurement is the outside diameter of the holder and does not include the mounting screws, which extend slightly beyond the edge when installed.
