A frame is a group-divisible design \((X, {\mathbf G}, {\mathbf B})\) whose block set admits a partition into holey parallel classes, each such class being a partition of \(X \backslash G\) for some group (called a hole) \(G\in{\mathbf G}\). A \(k\)-frame of type \(h^u\) is a frame of block size \(k\) having \(u\) holes of size \(h\). The authors present a new construction for 4-frames using certain skew Room frames. They thereby improve the known results by showing that the necessary conditions for the existence of a 4-frame of type \(h^u\) are sufficient except for only finitely many possible \(u\)'s for any \(h\). Skew Room frames are also used to construct resolvable \((K_4-e)\)-designs of order \(60t+16\), if \(t\neq 8\), 12. They also show that the existence of a 4-frame of type \(h^u\) implies the existence of a HSOLSSOM of type \(h^u\) and thereby construct some new HSOLSSOMs of types \(3^u\) and \(6^u\).
