Without a spring, the lock would never unlock. Therefore, a lock of a door required a spring.
A valve spring "keeper" or AKA a valve spring "retainer" is used to lock a valve spring to the valve.
To take the lock plate off requires a lock plate spring compressor. With the spring compressor in place and the spring slightly compressed remove the circlip that holds the lock plate on. Then release the spring compressor and the lock plate simply slides off.
The Spring Lock - 1912 was released on: USA: 7 September 1912
This spring broke inside the driver's door keyless entry pad door lock on my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. Where do you connect this spring on the door lock?
You enter the correct combination for the lock then move the catch and the lock will spring open.
That is correct if the spring is upside down it will not lock back. The big end of the spring goes toward the cap.
Use a spring compressor to push the lock plate down slightly, then remove the circlip that keeps the plate on. Release the spring compressor and the lock plate will come off. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.
Push the spring and pull the cylinder out
The lock on a muzzle loader consisted of sear, hammer and hammer spring. With some modern guns (a Winchester 94) the hammer/ hammer spring would be a close match. For a striker fired weapon (no outside hammer) it might be the firing pin and spring.

I had this same problem. It will only get worse with time. You will need to replace the latch assembly. (The part that catches the striker bolt)Answer:There is a simple fix. I used it to repair my Sport just 2 weeks ago.There is a broken spring on the door lock. You will need to go the hardware store and buy a spring that has long ends. This repair can be made for less than $3.00.Remove the door panel and locate the door lock cylinder just below the lock you will locate a rod with a yellow plastic fitting. Take one end of the spring an connect it to the rod then connect the other end of the spring to the clip that hold the lock in the door. ( this will give the needed lift to allow the lock to operate) Note that if the spring is to tight it will prevent the lock from working, readjust the spring and try again.I have a pic that will help. If you need it I can email it to you.
