That's the way I did mine, Alvin, Bill, Trev and Tiny. I heated the square shaft that goes through the hole in the latch and bent it so the "droop" is gone. It worked great! And Alvin is right. The spring won't do any good if the square hole in the latch is worn or if the shaft on the handle is worn. That is usually the problem, consequently that spring cannot correct the wearing.
