Well, ACE Hardware had several springs of the same diameter, so I bought two. One stainless, and one plain steel.
I was able to fashion a spring pretty much like the original, though it cost me one pair of Italian flush diagonal cutters, so the door is working pretty much as it was. It is a little less firm than it was.
I will give my dealer a call to see if he stocks the spring, or the handle assembly, anyway. I’m not sure that this spring won’t go the same way the old one did, over time.
