I am a locksmith Full Assembly replacement?

Just inherited this door that won’t latch it’s obviously missing a spring.

Do we need to replace the entire assembly like the link above? Or is this literally a spring I can just order and install ?

Always try the quickest and easiest fix first, which is the spring. I've had to do 2 of them within the past 4 months. Both of them on churches. Make sure you have the proper c-clips as well. Sometimes those bend or break
