Hi;

Any know how to make a bend in a small spring from my door lock?

I have a lock with a broken bend at one end. The steel is quiet thick
like the lead from a propelling pencil and has about 1/2 dozen turns.
If I can soften this spring and remake the bent by undoing one turn I
think I could remake the spring. Given I can remake it springy!

I have never known if this is possible as usually my attempts at
rebending springs usually ends with it breaking off again.

Any ideas?

Regards
Ian
