Screen door latch spring broken

This is the 3rd spring to break on our 2007 Montana and I am getting tired of having to buy the whole mechanism at 15 dollars or so for a 25 cent spring. I realize we have become a throw away society but this is rediculous! Does anyone have a source for that spring? If I had the right stock I could make one but unfortunately I don't.

Bob also got tired of the spring breaking, so he drilled a little hole in the handle and put the hook of a little bungee cord through the hole and then attached the other end hook to a screw just above the slider opening on the screen door. It worked great.
