Our internal doors use old Edwardian door handles. However, the handles don't have a spring. The latch we have doesn't have enough strength to work the handle (they sag).
I've tried searching for "strong door latches", but this seems to focus on security and buying a more expensive latch at our local shop doesn't solve the issue either.
So what latch should I use when the handles do not have springs?

The key (no pun intended) phrase to search for is "double sprung". I couldn't find these latches at any of my local DIY stores, so I ordered online.
