Where does the winged spring go in?If you can find me assembly video of this lock that would be even better
>>1569004Maybe include the manufacture name of the lock. also show all the parts. I think you dont show the other half of the lock
>>1569007
It should be one of these locks. https://www.tesa.es/en/products/mortise-locks/residential-locksMaybe its this one? Hard to tell you would need a better picture of the side profile in full view of the latching system used. https://www.tesa.es/en/products/mortise-locks/residential-locks/dual-latchbolt-lock

>>1569013So it doesnt even have a model name?>>1569014Nah that one is different, this is what it looks like with the parts inside.
>>1569015Its the second version on the link provided. Its the only one I noticed that looked similar.
>>1569016I think it's the first one, becaue mine seems to have the latchbolt in the middle.
>>1569017Now that I think about it I doubt the company would on their own put out how the lock is assembled. Its info someone wanting to break into some door may look up. I think that last spring should have a hole somewhere in the lock housing to be held in place. The straight pin should be against a flat surface. If I was in your situation I would try placing the knobs on the holes and twisting to see which one would require the mechanism to get back into position. I think its one of the two metal bits at the bottom. I think its the silver bit that would need a spring to place it back into position. in order to lock.
>>1569018Alright, thanks for the help.
>>1569015That spring exists so that if you close the door with the lock engaged, it will unlock itself. In order to do that the spring needs to push back the locking spindle at the bottom, in response to movement of the *bolt* and pin behind it, while the big bolt-controlling lever stays fixed in place.To do that, I think it needs an arrangement like this. The long arm of the spring pushes on the arm of the locking spindle. The short arm is attached somewhere to the bolt pin, likely to a moving part somewhere on the pin behind the central lever; but I can't really see from the picture where exactly that would be, because the lever is in the way.Showing every single piece separately from multiple angles might help me guess the details, or maybe you can work it out from here.
>>1569024Thanks, but I gave up already. I fixed what I wanted to fix and put it back in. Seems like it's not a big deal, so I'll leave it in like this.
>>1569024Actually it looks like the plate at the bottom does that, which means the spring exists to reset that plate to its starting position. Something like this, then.>>1569025Oh well. Yeah if you can live without the lockout prevention system you don't need that spring, I guess. It sounds like a useful feature though.
>>1569025>>1569029Maybe position the spring like this? Did you originally open the lock up because this bit fell out of place?
>>1569046Or I think maybe this is the correct position?I guess when the cover is placed it makes it harder for the spring to come out of place.
>>1569047Another method might be placing one of the hands of the spring inside the notche of the top plate.>>1569011Then insert it in a way it goes inside the bottom peg of the silver bit.
>>1569046I opened it because the latchbolt wouldn't mofe enough and it was annoying to open the door. The bolt fell out when I opened it.
It could be this placement >>1569079However the long arm would would go inside the top notch on the top plate cover.
>>1569100I meant to link>>1569046But now that I think about it, I dont think that placement would make it so that silver bit goes back into place.
