replacing snapped spring in old mortise set

Hello,
I have an old interior door with an old lockset. It appears the spring that holds the latch out when the knob is not twisted has yielded for the last time (It snapped at its fulcrum).
It's a small steel (?) strip ~2" long x ~3/16" wide x less than 1/32" thick with high yield strength.
Where can I get a replacement for this? It would be lame to have to replace the lockset/door for such a simple piece of metal but I have no Idea where to get it. Halp.
