An interconnected chassis for a lock set includes a mounting plate having a first guide channel, a second guide channel spaced apart from the first guide channel, and a spring engaging member. A lower cam arm, having a lower rotational axis, is rotatably coupled to the mounting plate. A slide plate has a spring retention wall and a spring engaging surface. The slide plate is positioned between, and in sliding engagement with, the first guide channel and the second guide channel, and is positioned above the lower cam arm. A spring retention chamber is established between the spring retention wall of the slide plate and the mounting plate. The spring retention chamber provides lateral containment of a spring. The spring is positioned in the spring retention chamber between the spring engaging member of the mounting plate and the spring engaging surface of the slide plate.
