Draw a curved path using [out, in]

Could you help to draw a curved path joining the (0,3) and (0,4)? I find the draw command with in and out options hard even after reading about it.

enter image description here

documentclass[border=5mm,tikz]{standalone}

usepackage{tikz}

usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing,patterns}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}



  draw[decoration={aspect=.23, segment length=2.0285mm, amplitude=4.16mm,coil},decorate] (0,5.2) -- (0,4); 



  draw(0,5.2)--(0,6)--(-1.4,6);

  draw(-1.5,6.5)--(-2,6)--(-3,6)--(-3,5);

  draw[fill=black](-3,5) circle(3pt);

  draw[fill=black](-3,4) circle(3pt);



  draw(-3,4)--(-3,3)--(0,3);



  draw  (0,3) % Draws a line

  to [out=-10,in=-40] (.24,3.1125)

  to [out=10,in=70] (.641,3.6) 

  to [out=-90,in=30] (0,4); 

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

You can try something like this to draw curve between (0,3) and (0,4).

  draw (0,3) to[out=30,in=210,looseness=2] (0,4);

Alternate way is to use controls

  draw (0,3) ..controls (1,3.25) and (-1,3.75).. (0,4);

Result:

enter image description here

The complete code:

documentclass[border=5mm,tikz]{standalone}

usepackage{tikz}

usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing,patterns}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

begin{scope}

  draw[decoration={aspect=.23, segment length=2.0285mm, amplitude=4.16mm,coil},decorate] (0,5.2) -- (0,4); 

  draw(0,5.2)--(0,6)--(-1.4,6);

  draw(-1.5,6.5)--(-2,6)--(-3,6)--(-3,5);

  draw[fill=black](-3,5) circle(3pt);

  draw[fill=black](-3,4) circle(3pt);



  draw(-3,4)--(-3,3)--(0,3);

   draw (0,3) ..controls (1,3.25) and (-1,3.75).. (0,4);

node[below] at (0,3) {With texttt{controls}};

end{scope}

begin{scope}[xshift=5cm]

  draw[decoration={aspect=.23, segment length=2.0285mm, amplitude=4.16mm,coil},decorate] (0,5.2) -- (0,4); 

  draw(0,5.2)--(0,6)--(-1.4,6);

  draw(-1.5,6.5)--(-2,6)--(-3,6)--(-3,5);

  draw[fill=black](-3,5) circle(3pt);

  draw[fill=black](-3,4) circle(3pt);



  draw(-3,4)--(-3,3)--(0,3);
