Sorry, I should have said "lever door handles".

No they are not universal. Quality door furniture manufactures tend to use quality springs, Crap manufactures use...

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!
