Any one know of a vendor selling new springs for the 52 to 54 door lock ?

Shop Manual Supplement P5 fig 6 1952.

My door lock is in good shape, but the old spring broke.

I looked at Chevy Duty, Lmc, Jim Carter & American Classic.

Thanks, Kelly

I have two old handles for you with decent springs if you want them. Cover shipping and they are yours.

Thanks but my handles are ok.

The Filling Station has lots of great hard to find stuff but not the spring I need only the whole $40.00 latch.

I may have to try and make one I have the two broke parts, but with two coils on one spring & fitting ect It would be nice to buy a new one for about 5 bucks.

Do you have one of those -hole in the wall- hardware stores around you? The one near us has about 50,000 types of nuts, bolts, springs and such? Maybe youll have luck there.

Good luck, Jeff

You can take the springs out of the donor handles to use in yours and toss the remains but that is just a suggestion. If you want them, send me a PM.

I went to your site & looked at your latch project. That spring you reused is the one I need.

Just my my luck, but thanks for offering to help.
