Door latches, specifically return springs

Postby Zootwo » September 7th, 2023, 8:09 pm

Would anyone have a line on where one might get return springs for door latches. We live in Victoria BC Canada. I have been trying to find a place to make them as I cannot find them around here. Also does anyone know the manufacturer logo on one of the picture

Thank you in advance for any and all ideas

Welcome aboard. Take it to a locksmith. That's what I did with a few of mine. Dropped them off and got a call back a couple of days later. All fixed up. I suspect most shops that have been around for a while will have a selection of different springs they can make work.

If the spring isn't broken can you make one more rotation on it to provide more tension?

Is there lube in this slot? If not, it will cause the spring to catch and not allow full travel.
