    How to......Fix the door lock spring problem

    Remove the door card, being careful to avoid getting the black stuff on your clothes


     

     

     

    I used a pair of thin long nosed pliers to attach the spring. I found it easier to attach the spring to the moving part first and then stretch it to the fixed point.
    This is the broken spring
     
    This is a repaired spring
     

    This is a replacement spring
