Does anyone know the configuration of the spring missing from my sliding door catch? I presume it hooks in the notch.

I bought my spring from BusOK (Europe), but BusLab in Berkeley CA now sells them.

Thanks everyone. I ordered a spring and haven't had time to install it, but the coil spring I wedged in in the meantime is working perfectly.
