Is it time to replace the springs?

You shouldn't keep garage door springs till they snap because they could cause accidents.

Replacing them on time would save you the hassle of emergencies because the lifting of the door would be impossible without them.

You should also check for signs of wear or damage to components which would require replacement. Ideally this should be done at least once every month or two.
