If worse comes to worse, Dixie Gun Works has fairly generic springs that can be modified to work on some locks. I recently used one on a lock. I found one in their catalog close to correct length and modified it to fit. It did take a bunch of careful work grinding and using a file etc.

Robbins locks are among the best ever made. The gunsmith at The Log Cabin in Lodi OH can fit a new mainspring to your lock at reasonable cost.

Agree with @Uncle Miltie and @Kansas Jake. You can send your lock to Log Cabin for repair or get a close match from Dixie and file it to fit.
