I don't think there is such a thing as a dual directional spring. What I did was to use two of them, mounted so that they oppose each other.
These are the ones I used. They're a bit overpowered at 80N, but it doesn't matter too much if they are opposing each other. If you can find a 50-60N option, that would probably be ideal.

Good luck, and don't forget to post pictures here so we can see how it turns out!
