Yale Expressions Round Pocket Door Locks
Yale Expressions round pocket door locks provide recessed hardware for interior sliding doors while using a familiar round profile and standard tubular door preparation. The current Coastal Hardware Store collection features the Yale Expressions Tubular Round Pocket Door Lock in passage and privacy functions, making it suitable for pocket doors in closets, bathrooms, bedrooms, powder rooms, and other residential spaces where a projecting knob or lever would interfere with the door sliding into the wall.
The current round lock is designed for a standard 2-1/8-inch face bore and is available in Polished Brass, Satin Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Flat Black, and Polished Chrome. Yale specifies universal handing, compatibility with 1-3/8-inch to 1-3/4-inch-thick doors, and a 2-3/8-inch latch.

Why Choose Yale Expressions Round Pocket Door Locks?
The Yale Expressions round tubular design is a practical choice when you want pocket-door hardware that uses a standard bored preparation rather than a large notched lock-box cutout. Its recessed form allows the door to slide into the wall pocket while the round trim provides a softer architectural alternative to square hardware.
- Standard tubular preparation: Yale designs the current round pocket-door lock for a 2-1/8-inch face bore with a 1-inch edge bore and 1-inch by 2-1/4-inch radius-corner latch preparation.
- Passage and privacy functions: Choose a non-locking passage configuration or a privacy version with a locking thumbturn depending on the room.
- Fits common residential door thicknesses: Yale's current 2026 documentation specifies compatibility with doors from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick.
- Universal handing: The current lock is designed for both right- and left-hand pocket doors without a separate handing selection.
- Low-profile round trim: The recessed hardware minimizes projection so the pocket door can slide into the wall cavity without a conventional knob or lever protruding from the face.
- Six current finishes: Yale currently offers Polished Brass, Satin Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Flat Black, and Polished Chrome.
Yale Expressions Round Pocket Door Lock Functions
Passage Round Pocket Door Locks
The passage version is intended for pocket doors that need operating pull and latch hardware without a privacy lock. It can be appropriate for closets, pantries, laundry areas, hallways, and other interior openings where locking is unnecessary.
Yale identifies the passage model as YTPDRND62. It uses the same round tubular preparation and finish family as the privacy version, allowing the hardware style to remain consistent across multiple pocket doors with different functions.
Privacy Round Pocket Door Locks
The privacy version adds a locking thumbturn for rooms where occupants need privacy, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, and powder rooms. Yale specifically describes the round privacy model as providing a locking function while retaining the low-profile pocket-door format.
The current privacy model is YTPDRND63. As with the passage version, it fits standard tubular preparation, uses universal handing, and is currently specified for 1-3/8-inch to 1-3/4-inch-thick doors.
Round Tubular Pocket Door Locks
The defining feature of this collection is the tubular preparation. Unlike traditional pocket-door hardware that can require a larger rectangular or notched cutout, the Yale Expressions Round Pocket Door Lock installs into a standard bored preparation similar to the preparation used for many residential tubular locksets.
This makes door preparation especially important when replacing existing hardware. A door already bored to the correct tubular dimensions may be a good candidate for this model, while a door prepared for a traditional notched pocket-door lock should be evaluated separately before assuming the Yale tubular lock will be a direct replacement.
How to Choose the Right Yale Expressions Round Pocket Door Lock
Start with the existing door preparation, then confirm the required function, door thickness, finish, and surrounding hardware. Because this collection contains a tubular pocket-door lock, preparation measurements matter more than the round appearance alone.
- Check the face bore: The current Yale Expressions round model requires a 2-1/8-inch face bore.
- Verify the edge preparation: Yale specifies a 1-inch edge bore and a 1-inch by 2-1/4-inch radius-corner latch preparation.
- Confirm the backset: The current Yale manufacturer documentation specifies a 2-3/8-inch latch for the round tubular pocket-door lock.
- Measure door thickness: The current round tubular models fit standard door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches.
- Choose passage or privacy: Use passage where locking is unnecessary and privacy where an interior locking function is required.
- Coordinate the finish: Once compatibility is established, select the Yale Expressions finish that best coordinates with nearby levers, knobs, hinges, deadbolts, or other visible hardware.
Dimensions, Style & Finishes
Current Yale technical specifications list the round tubular trim at approximately 2-7/16 inches in height and width with a low-profile projection of approximately 1/8 inch. The lock uses a 2-1/8-inch face bore, 1-inch edge bore, and 2-3/8-inch latch.
The round profile provides softer lines than the geometric Yale Expressions square alternative. It can work well in traditional, transitional, and contemporary interiors depending on the surrounding hardware and selected finish.
Yale's current 2026 manufacturer documentation lists six finishes: Polished Brass (US3), Satin Brass (US4), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26).
Yale's public price book and current Yale Expressions page do not clearly identify the base material of the round tubular pocket-door lock. For that reason, this collection should not be described as solid brass, stainless steel, or another specific material without additional manufacturer documentation.
Round vs. Square Yale Expressions Pocket Door Locks
Yale Expressions currently provides both round and square tubular pocket-door hardware. Both shapes are designed around a standard tubular preparation and are available in passage and privacy functions, but they create different visual effects on the door.
- Round Tubular Pocket Door Lock: Softer circular profile with standard tubular preparation, passage or privacy function, universal handing, and current 1-3/8-inch to 1-3/4-inch door-thickness compatibility.
- Square Tubular Pocket Door Lock: Uses the same general tubular-preparation concept with a more geometric square trim profile.
- Standard Square Pocket Door Lock: A separate Yale Expressions product designed for a notched pocket-door box preparation rather than the tubular bore used by the round lock.
If the decision is purely between round and square tubular trim, choose according to the architectural style of the room. If you are replacing existing pocket-door hardware, identify the preparation first—the tubular and notched-box systems should not be treated as interchangeable.

Coordinating Yale Expressions Door Hardware
Yale Expressions offers residential knobs, levers, deadbolts, handlesets, and other coordinating door hardware. Using the same manufacturer finish can help carry a consistent hardware palette from conventional hinged doors to pocket doors throughout the home.
Finish availability differs between products, so confirm the exact Yale Expressions finish on each item rather than assuming every lever, knob, deadbolt, or handleset is available in all six pocket-door finishes.
For coordinating hinged-door options, browse our Yale Expressions door levers or the broader Yale Expressions hardware collection.
Installation & Compatibility
Yale's current technical documentation specifies a standard tubular preparation with a 2-1/8-inch face bore, 1-inch edge bore, and 1-inch by 2-1/4-inch radius-corner latch preparation. The lock includes a 2-3/8-inch latch and is designed for doors from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick.
The round tubular lock is universally handed, so a separate left- or right-hand version is not required. Passage and privacy models share the same general preparation, allowing different room functions to use a consistent round trim style.
Before replacing existing hardware, remove or inspect the current pocket-door lock and verify the bore dimensions, edge preparation, backset, and door thickness. Do not assume that every round pocket-door lock uses the same preparation simply because the visible trim is circular.
