New Door Frame 60596?

[Alywin]

We have this door frame for ages (part# 30179)

Door Frame 1 x 4 x 6 Type 1

Now since 2009, we got "Door Frame 1 x 4 x 6 Type 2" (part# 60596)

So, could someone please let me know what the differences are between them? Thanks.

I believe that the newer door frame can only have a door fitted on one side of the frame, whereas the old one can have a door fitted on the front or back of the frame. I know that change was made, I'm guessing it's between these 2 components.

I think that's the only difference.

Thanks, pals. That change seems quite unnecessary at least from the user viewpoint...

The new doors (the ones with panel on the bottom and four window pane holes) don't seem to fit properly in the old frames - they bend ever so slightly when hinging open.

That's despite them having still used the old frames in some sets.
