Of course some mortise door locks tend to also use strong or weak springs, so on a given door, you may or may not need the spring if its a locking type door.
Its a great pity my old haunt of transatlantic plastics vanished in the big diy carve up as they seemed to source some nice well makde handle sets. Looking at some in a diy shed recently made me realise we never had it so good. I decided that the old round door knobs relying on the mortise locks spring was perhaps the lesser of several evils. The trend might come back after all!
