Hers had a flat metal clip screwed to the door or wall with a little bent metal hook that would hold each end of the spring. She used the on curtain with a feed channel at either end so she could secure the top & bottom of the curtain (usually on a door, but also used on a plastic curtain on the window in the shower.

replying to Cathleen, vr wrote: I do. I've been looking for them too. It seems they aren't made anymore. My husband brought home screen door springs. Way too big and strong for curtains.

I am looking for the same type of spring rod. They were the best! They were long lightweight springs held up by an eye hook on each end. There was some give on them but they did not sag if lightweight fabric was used. Great for kids shelves or basement shelves.
I know this post is quite old but I just came upon it and found the answer to the question in case someone is still searching. It's called Door Sash Tension Rod Zinc Spring Coil http://35.231.65.229/product/sash-rod-zinc-spring-like-for-door/
There's so much wrong with that URL. Don't click on it.

The springs we used back in the day were very low profile and easy to install. It took one little nail on each end. I had way better luck with them than the cheap curtain rods of today. Yeah, no, on the nailing the curtain hahaha. You're funny.
Wow! Mean! I am looking for these right now
The new asian import versions are made out of zinc. i wouldn't put those on my antique doors. You can still find older USA ones around that are older steel, searching for "spring sash".
