So you've replaced a super common roller and corner with a very uncommon one. Why would you want to do that? You even said it is very common. You can easily replace the plastic wheel with a metal ball bearing wheel without removing the mesh or corners. Sounds like 10 times more work than what was required.
You are right, in some cases you can replace a nylon roller with a steel ball bearing roller but those housings have cheap wire springs that often fall apart while you are trying to install them. Or worse fall apart shortly after you have put the door back in. Very often doors will have broken corners as well as missing or broken rollers. Better to overhaul the whole door with all new parts and have it working properly for years afterward.
I've worked on hundreds of these doors with these corners. The only time I've seen them broken is when they use a plastic corner. I'll agree, the springs aren't the greatest, but much easier to replace than the whole corner. 9 times out of 10, the top rollers don't even make a difference at all.
Muchas gracias su explicacion me ayudo mucho y pude repara mi puerta, un abraso y un saludo.

Screenco is the biggest manaufacturer of these doors right now but this extrusion has been used by many manufacturers over the years
