    Default need some help with old door lock

    I need to make a spring for the "latch mechanism"? but the old spring is gone and I need help figuring out where the spring goes. I'm sure I will need help making a spring also, but fortunately I have already found good info on this site. Thanks for any help.

    Looking at what appear to be wear marks on the iron case I suggest a spring as shown in red.

    Thank you BBE. That is pretty cool, I have fixed more things by asking questions on forums like this, and have been helped by knowledgeable people like yourself. Thanks again, now to make a spring.
