Just received hand me down x230 and latch 1 feels weird without a spring (Im used to T series).

No mention of springs in the manual. Found Miscellaneous service parts - ThinkPad X220

this only lists one spring, same with ebay replacement latches.
This feels a little shoddy

Welcome to the forum.

Latch 1 is actually not a latch - it's a lock switch. So no spring in it.
