Fridge closure.

I’ve just completed the catch assembly replacement on our T6.1. The fridge came out half way and stopped. I removed the two Phillips head screws from inside the wardrobe to release one end of the the kitchen front top extrusion. It can flex out a small amount and the fridge then came out. When the fridge was out I realised it was one of the protruding screws that was catching on the metal plate at the bottom of the fridge insulation.

Once the catch assembly was out I found it would have been very easy to replace the
Small broken spring instead of buying the whole catch assembly. I wonder if would be possible to obtain some spare springs?

As I can see this happening again, the small spring takes a lot of punishment every time you need a cold beer from the fridge.
I also removed the tips of the protruding self tapping screws with angle grinder before putting the fridge back to make it easier for next time the spring break in half.
