A trick that usually works on box locks is to;

1. remove the cocking levers
2. position the mainsprings forward in the slot
3 install the hammers
4. using a modified screwdriver slide the mainspring back while compressing it until it snaps into the notch on the hammer

works for me, your results may vary.
