כִּסּוּי טֶנִי שֶׁל מַתֶּכֶת, שֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים, רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין. וְשֶׁל רוֹפְאִים, טָמֵא. הַדֶּלֶת שֶׁבַּמִּגְדָּל, שֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים, טְהוֹרָה. וְשֶׁל רוֹפְאִים, טְמֵאָה. הַיַּתּוּכִין, טְמֵאִים. וְהַפְּרָכִין, טְהוֹרִין. עַקְרַב בֵּית הַבַּד, טְמֵאָה. וְאֻנְקְלִי שֶׁבַּכְּתָלִים, טְהוֹרָה:
La tapa metálica de la caja de un cabeza de familia: Rabban Gamliel lo declara impuro, y los Sabios lo declaran puro. [Cubiertas de cajas] pertenecientes a médicos son impuras. La puerta de un armario: perteneciente a los dueños de casa, puro. Perteneciente a médicos, impuro. Los agarradores son impuros. Las barras de una rejilla son puras. La viga prensada en hierro de una prensa de aceitunas es impura. Los ganchos que están en la pared son puros.

טני (metal cover of a box) – it is a metal vessel that holds three Kab. And it is from the language of "ושמת בטנא" (Deuteronomy 26:2): “put it in a basket.” And owners of homes use it when they place there the rubbish of fragments/shards from metal vessels.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
The metal cover of a basket of householders: Rabban Gamaliel says: it is susceptible to impurity, The sages say that it is clean. According to Rabban Gamaliel, the cover of the basket is itself considered a vessel and therefore it is susceptible to impurity, even separate from the basket. The other sages hold that the cover is not a vessel, and therefore it is not susceptible.

The door of a cupboard of householders is clean but that of physicians is susceptible to impurity. Since the cupboard is not susceptible to impurity, its door is not either. However, physicians would use the door of their cupboard, draping the bandage over it before applying it to their patient. Therefore, it is susceptible.

Tongs are susceptible to impurity but stove-tongs are clean. Metal tongs used to lift a hot pan off a stove and empty their contents elsewhere are susceptible to impurity. But tongs that come attached to the stove are not susceptible because they are considered to be attached to the ground.
