Cessna use to sell a door latch repair kit with several of the parts in it call a cessna parts dealer and ask I don't have the P/N any more.

There is a subject called "Door Latches" latches. Search for it.

It has a lot of information including the current part number and where to go to buy or make your own spring. I made my own which didn't really work well but while I had the latch apart I realized that the addition of another spring I just had laying around solved the problem.

I found a spring at ACE hardward. It had to be bent a little to catch just right. It has been working for two or three years now.
