Hi guys,

I've got a couple of the internal door handle opening mechanisms, both drives side broken springs. (the ones that your internal door handle clips too)

Does anyone make these, cause if they don't I reckon I can make and fit new springs.

Problem number 1.  Where can I buy spring wire about 2.3mm diameter?

 

I've search and rung around and found nothing.

 

Anyone got some leads I can try?

 

Cheers

Marty

Googled and came up with weld wire. Checked my leftover, 2.4mm. Bent some up and quick test. This could actually work. Version two to come.

Stainless Steel / Wire has spring steel property's too, if that helps, good thinking.

you can also buy piano wire that you can make springs from, some hobby stores sell it.
